Office furniture warehouse services are a deceptively simple concept. Many believe you just lease a small chunk of space, throw in your unused furniture, and be done with it.
Unfortunately, it’s never that simple. There are a number of things to take into consideration when choosing a warehouse space:
How long will you need to store your office furniture? Many services have a minimum rental period, forcing you to pay for up to a month of storage fees, even if you only need to hold the furniture for a weekend.
Choice offers flexible storage terms, making sure that you’re only paying for the time you actually use.
How much storage space will you need? Some storage units will have you rent lockers of a set dimension, most often either resulting in a significant amount of unused space, or insufficient space for your storage requirements which forces you to rent a second unit.
When a Choice warehouse stores your office furniture, it is carefully cataloged and stored in an open area, allowing us to make more efficient use of our warehouse while making sure that you’re not charged for empty space.
The transportation and handling of office furniture can be difficult. Pieces can often be extremely cumbersome, heavy, and fragile.
In addition to assembly and disassembly, the experienced professional staff at Choice will pack, move, store, and deliver your office furniture.
Storage units are often tempting targets for theft and vandalism, particularly if the storage facility is poorly guarded. What’s worse, renters are often made to sign agreements that the storage companies are not responsible for what happens to the contents of the storage space.
While some facilities may make do with a surveillance camera and a high fence, Choice facilities are fully staffed and provided round-the-clock on-site security.
Office furniture is not designed to handle extreme temperatures or humidity levels. Exposure to the elements can often cause metal to bend, wood to warp, cloth to mold, and leather to rot. When storing office furniture, it’s extremely important that this is taken into consideration.
The Choice office furniture warehouse is specially designed with all of the climate requirements for office furniture in mind. Our facility is designed to make absolute certain that the office furniture you take out is in the same condition as the office furniture you put in.
How difficult can it be to keep track of stored office furniture? While it might seem simple at first, the issue of inventory can very quickly become a concern if multiple managers have access to the storage unit, or if you’re planning on selling off excess furniture.
At Choice, we keep a careful inventory, logging the manufacturer, product description, finishes and colours, dimensions, and quantities, all in a convenient database.
While there are many storage solutions out there, The Choice office furniture storage service was designed specifically for the easy storage of office furniture. Our professionals pack and transport your stored furniture, our facility is secure and climate controlled, our inventory management system is comprehensive and easy to access, and our system will see that you’re only charged for the time and space that you actually use.
