Getting to work on the office wardrobe

Buyers look for organized storage. A neat and organized wardrobe sends the subtle message that a lot of good work is accomplished in this space.

Function: Store office supplies, file cabinets, and other office-related items.

Upgrade options: Add large, sturdy shelves (paper is heavy) and clear bins for computer and camera equipment. Use smaller, stackable drawers and shelves for smaller office supplies such as staples, paper clips, tape, and so on.

Showcasing tips: Arrange the wardrobe so all labels face out — just as you’d see on the shelves at office supply stores. Make the wardrobe generic, removing anything that indicates what type of business you’re in. You want the buyer to be able to see her own business office supplies in that wardrobe space.
