Designing with Pre-owned Office Furniture Is Unique

OFR's Sales Representatives and design support team are experienced in a wide range of cubicle systems (OFR is not a "one line" dealer--we know them all!). Knowing the details, features and potential short comings of a pre-owned or refurbished panel system is critical when designing cubicle layouts.

A designer can "draw" anything they can imagine, but can it be built with the cubicles you plan to buy? That's our specialty; designing  and specifying a cubicle purchase that fits the space, meets your staff needs, and is built.

OFR's Space Planning & Design team is experienced in:

  • Cubicle systems
  • Desking systems
  • Power and data connections
  • Storage capacity
  • Ergonomics
  • Acoustics and distraction
  • Work styles
  • Organizational functions
  • Reading plans
  • Furniture planning software
  • Architectural software
  • Building codes and best practices
  • Communicating with architects, designers and stakeholders
