Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

Many business owners see the need for new furniture, but feel they don’t have it in the budget. Never-been-used isn’t always necessary. Remanufactured and refurbished furniture looks new, and you can achieve the fresh look at a fraction of the cost of new.

So, how do you determine whether you should 1) buy new, 2) buy refurbished and/or remanufactured furniture or 3) give your own old furniture a facelift?

If you choose to give your own furniture a facelift, there are a few things to consider. Solid wood furniture is almost always worth refinishing. Replacing the upholstery gives a new, bright look to chairs and sofas. Metal cabinets, desks and utility carts can be professionally painted. But if the style, size or functionality isn’t what you need, then consider purchasing refurnished or remanufactured. You’ll be able to replace furniture that no longer meets your needs, without paying the full price of straight-from-the-manufacturer prices.
