There is good news and bad news related to the mark up of furniture. First of all, it is a fact that the furniture industry marks up their products by huge amounts. However, this means that you can find good deals if you shop around for them.

A price of something is inflated if it costs more than the actual value of the product. Since furniture is marked up so much, the price can become inflated on new furniture. However, used furniture is typically sold at a more reasonable price that is closer to its actual value.

So where does the used furniture come from? A large company may go out of business, re-locate, or remodel. Many times these companies will unload all of their used furniture to furniture to dealers at extremely discounted rates. The companies benefit because they do not have to worry about what to do with all the unused furniture and they do not have to hassle with selling the furniture off by themselves.

So it is not like you have to have an office full of mismatched computer furniture! You could get an entire office of matching, like new condition furniture if you look hard enough. Not that mismatched furniture is a bad thing – a little variety is a good thing!

It seems to be easier to negotiate a better price with a used furniture dealer than with one that sells new computer furniture. Used furniture dealers will often paint your furniture to match other computer furniture you may already have. The best reason to shop for used computer furniture is because you can save thousands of dollars that you would be wasting on new computer furniture.
