Buy second-hand furniture for significant cost savingsList Item 1
Let’s start with the most obvious advantage — money. Refurbished furniture can cost anywhere from 30% to 70% less than brand-new pieces, resulting in significant savings — especially for growing teams or businesses operating on tight budgets.
You can stretch your budget further without compromising on quality, giving you more flexibility to invest in other areas, such as technology, employee perks, or marketing.
Saxen's RefurbHub has a vast selection of second-hand furniture at fantastic value. Get in touch to discover what's available now.

Refurbished furniture is eco-friendly and sustainableList Item 2
Every year, millions of tons of office furniture end up in landfills — much of it still usable. Refurbishing extends the life of furniture that might otherwise be discarded, helping reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
By choosing furniture reuse, you’re reducing demand for raw materials like wood, metal, and plastic, and you’re making a visible commitment to sustainability – a value that matters deeply to clients, partners, and employees.
-
High quality reused furniture (sometimes better than new)List Item 3
Many of Saxen's refurbished furnishings originally come from top-tier manufacturers – think Steelcase, Herman Miller, or Knoll. These pieces last for years and designers create them for heavy, commercial use.
Our refurbishment process includes deep cleaning, repair or replacement of parts, and fresh paint, polish, or reupholstery, carried out at our facility in Scotland's central belt.
In many cases, refurbished furniture is as good as new — and often more durable than cheaper, brand-new alternatives.
-
Fast availability of second-hand furniture
Refurbished furniture is available right away. This is different from new furniture, which often takes a long time to arrive due to manufacturing and shipping. For businesses on tight schedules or moving into new spaces quickly, this can be hugely beneficial.
Our 44,000 square foot warehouse just south of Glasgow has an huge choice of desking, accessories, chairs, soft-seating, and office storage ready to provide value and style to your fit out.
Please get in touch to explore the range of commercial furniture that Saxen RefurbHub currently has in stock.
