Focus on three things: cost, lead time, and sustainability.From a budget standpoint, pre-owned cubicles typically run $850–$1,000, remanufactured options land around $1,250–$2,000, and brand-new systems can reach $5,000–$7,000 per workstation.Timing matters too. Pre-owned and remanufactured cubicles are often available much faster, while new systems commonly take 4–6 weeks. Some manufacturers offer quick-ship programs, but even those usually require 1–2 weeks or more.Lastly, sustainability. Reusing quality...

The idea that cubicles can’t support a modern, collaborative workplace is outdated. By the way, cubicles are also known as workstations or systems furniture.Today’s systems furniture look and function very differently than what most people remember.Think medium-height panels (around 50”, not 72” tall isolating walls), cleaner finishes, and layouts designed for openness. Bullpen configurations can keep teams connected while still giving everyone a defined workspace....

One big misconception is that cubicles are boring, overpriced boxes. In reality, they’re one of the most effective and cost-friendly ways to give employees dedicated, functional space.They also don’t have to break the bank. Pre-owned cubicles often run around $850, remanufactured options typically fall between $1,250 and $2,000, and fully loaded brand-new systems can reach $5,000 to $7,000 per workstation.When you understand the options, cubicles...

When this engineering team found out they’d be moving from private offices and oversized cubicles into standardized workstations, a few people didn’t hold back—some even said they might quit. We worked through several design iterations, gave them transparency with 3D renderings, and added thoughtful details like sit/stand desks and personal storage towers. In the end, the transition was a success. The group now comes into...

Today’s workstations are more flexible, user-friendly, and stylish than ever before. With innovations like modular storage, height-adjustable tables, and sleek gallery panels, modern workstations support diverse needs and enhance open-plan layouts. Discover the latest trends in workstation design from NeoCon 2023, where functionality meets style to create adaptable and efficient workspaces.

At NeoCon 2023, I was impressed by CoLab by Senator—a standout example of agile furniture designed for dynamic, collaborative spaces.

Redefining the Workspace: Crafting the Office of Tomorrow Once a fixed location, the office is now a concept, one that transcends its walls to embody a hub where people choose to convene for specific, enriching experiences. This evolution prompts a pivotal question: If work is no longer a place but an action, what compels the modern professional to commute to an office? The answer is...

The Rising Wave of Adaptive Reuse in Post-Pandemic Commercial Spaces Summary The trend of adaptive reuse of commercial office buildings has gained momentum since the onset of the pandemic for several compelling reasons. These include the shift towards remote and hybrid work, evolving business needs, the need for downsizing or consolidation of spaces, a growing demand for flexible working arrangements, data centers, e-commerce fulfillment centers,...
