Evaluating Value

February 1, 2023

ERG Meeting Areas

When it comes to purchasing office furnishings (or most anything else), it can be easy to get caught up in the price tag and make a decision based solely on cost. However, it’s important to remember that the price of a piece of furniture, or a group of pieces, is not the same as its value. While a lower price may seem like a good deal at first glance, it may not necessarily be the best option for your office in the long run.

Value takes into account the overall quality and durability of the furniture, as well as its ability to meet the specific needs of your office. For example, a cheaper desk may not have the same level of durability as a more expensive one, and may need to be replaced sooner. This means that, in the long run, the costlier desk may actually be a better value for your office.

Another vital factor to consider when evaluating the value of office furniture is ergonomics. Poorly designed furniture can lead to discomfort and even injury for employees, which can result in decreased productivity and increased healthcare costs. A single injury claim will more than likely offset any savings realized in choosing lower-grade fixtures or furnishings. Investing in ergonomically designed furniture, such as chairs with adjustable lumbar support and desks with adjustable height, can help to improve employee comfort and well-being, making it a better value for your office in the long run.

Give consideration also to the overall design and aesthetic of the pieces. A well-designed and stylish office can create a more positive and productive work environment for employees, which can ultimately increase the value of the investment in furniture. While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper, less stylish pieces, the overall design of your office can have a significant impact on employee morale and productivity. The benefits of a more motivated and productive team will more than justify any extra expense over time.

While price is an important consideration when purchasing office furniture, remember that it’s not the only factor to consider. When evaluating the value of a piece of furniture or suite of furnishings, consider the overall quality, durability, ergonomics and design, as well as its ability to meet the specific needs of your office and employees. Taking the time to consider these factors can help ensure that you’re making a smart investment that will provide true value for your office in the long run and not just short-term savings.
