How we refurbish second-hand office furniture

Full transparency of our process: the stages and inspections we carry out before offering a refurbished chair, desk or storage solution for sale.

Key facts: free mainland Spain delivery · optional assembly (extra cost) · 1 year warranty on refurbished items and 2-year warranty on new products · refurbished up to 70% cheaper than new.

  • Counting and uniformity for multi-workstation projects.
  • Detection of missing parts (caps, screws, trims) and breakages.
  • Quick test for stability and basic operation (height, lock, opening/closing).

2. Safety and structure

  • Integrity: no cracks, damaged welds or excessive play.
  • Stability: checked on a level surface; correction of wobble.
  • Edges and screws: no sharp corners; correct tightening torque.
  • Fittings and locks: alignment and smooth operation; replacement if required.

3. Chairs: specific tests

  • Gas lift without drops; smooth travel.
  • Mechanism (synchronous/tilt/permanent contact): tension, locking and smooth return.

  • Armrests: firm adjustments (height/depth/swivel) and intact pads.
  • Backrest and lumbar support: adjustable; mesh/foam without deformation.
  • Upholstery: cleaning; re-upholstery or foam replacement in most cases.
