4 office furniture items you can save money on when you keep a spare to hand

Office furniture is an investment and, when you buy from BPF Online, you can save money because we offer a discount on larger quantity orders. However, even if you only need one item, you can still save because there are certain products you should always keep a spare or two of, because with these products, it’s not a matter of ‘if it’s needed’, it’s more a matter of when.

Monitor Mounts or Risers

Back health and eye health are critical and to be able to demonstrate to your employees that you take their health seriously can be really powerful. For an ergonomically effective seating position, the top of your monitor should be level with your eyes. By keeping spare monitor mounts or risers on site, you can ensure that any new employees can be kitted out with a comfortable workspace as soon as they arrive and that existing employees feel valued and listened to when their workstation can be adjusted quickly and easily to meet their needs.

Edge mount screens

By making sure you always have spare edge mount screens available, you can be confident that you can respond to employees’ needs to limit noise levels by introducing a desk divider. Also, in the event of a local covid surge, spare desk dividers mean you can quickly and easily take steps to reduce infection transmission in the workplace and help employees to feel more comfortable coming to work in the office.

Ergonomic office chairs

We don’t source ergonomic chairs at BPF Online, however, our sister company, Box 15, offers a wide range of seating options with the quality you can expect from BPF Online, and the multi-buy benefits too. Chairs are essential to creating an effective workspace and not all chairs suit all people so, by keeping a couple of spare ergonomically adjustable chairs in a stock cupboard somewhere, you can show your employees that you value them, by making sure they have the right equipment when they need it.

Desks

It’s not uncommon to need an additional desk at short notice for a visitor popping into the office, a new recruit, or just additional space for project work, however, those who have enough space to keep a spare desk ‘just in case’ are few and far between. At BPF Online, some of our desks such as the K Series modular desk can be stored flat and built when needed for convenient storage. Alternatively, we also have folding table legs too, so that tables can be mustered for use when needed and stored easily when not required.

Of course, in addition to great prices and high quality products, there are plenty more reasons to buy from BPF Online, including free shipping on orders over £250 (net), no minimum order value and next day delivery on orders placed before 3pm.

With all of these items, we offer discounted unit prices for bulk purchases. If you’d like more information or prices on any of these products, please call our customer service team on 08447766800 or chat with us online on our website.
