Refurbished Humanscale Chairs
Refurbished Humanscale chairs from £180, with a 12-month warranty on the parts we replace and UK delivery in 10 working days. Freedom, Liberty and Diffrient World, all genuine, all stripped and rebuilt before they reach you.
Humanscale chairs are built to last 15 years or more, so a five to seven year old Freedom has a decade of working life left in it. They are also weight-sensitive: the recline is set by the person sitting in it rather than by a tension dial, which is why they suit shared desks and offices where nobody reads the manual. Refurbished is not second hand. Every chair is stripped, rebuilt and checked for authenticity. Clearing an office? We also buy Humanscale chairs in volume.

Which Humanscale Suits the Job
Refurbished Humanscale Freedom with Headrest
From £450Niels Diffrient designed the Freedom without a recline tension dial. Your own weight sets the resistance, so the chair is right the moment you sit down. The headrest version supports the head and neck through the recline, which is what you want for long days at a screen.

Refurbished Humanscale Freedom Low Back
From £189The same weight-sensitive recline and the same synchronous armrests, without the headrest. The lower back suits benched desks, rooms with low sightlines and anywhere a headrest would get in the way. Our best value route into a Humanscale.

Refurbished Humanscale Liberty
From £240A tri-panel mesh back that forms itself around the spine as you move, with no lumbar dial to set. Slimmer than the Freedom and lighter to move, so it works well in meeting rooms and touchdown areas as well as at a desk.

Refurbished Humanscale Diffrient World
From £230The most pared back of the range: form-sensing mesh, a light frame and almost nothing to adjust. Ideal for hot desks and shared workstations where chairs get used by different people every day. Also available fully mesh, seat included, from £180.

Humanscale is a strong fit where chairs are shared, because there is very little for a new user to set. Clearing existing furniture at the same time can offset the cost.

Why Humanscale Is Worth Buying Refurbished
Humanscale designed these chairs to work with almost no maintenance and to keep working for 15 years or more. A Freedom that is five or seven years old is barely halfway through its life. The same weight-sensitive recline, a fraction of the new price, and a far lower environmental impact. If a chair does not meet our standard it gets recycled, not sold.
- Fully stripped and assessed: then rebuilt to specification, not just cleaned up
- Mechanism checked under load: the recline is weight-sensitive, so it is tested with weight on it
- Worn parts replaced: gas lifts, castors, arm pads and mesh panels as needed
- Reupholstered where fitted: fabric and foam renewed on the seat, frames repaired
- Checked for authenticity: we only supply genuine Humanscale

Used, Second Hand or Refurbished?
Most businesses searching for used Humanscale chairs are looking for something better than a traditional second-hand purchase. There is an important distinction, and it matters when you are furnishing a working office. Second hand means pre-owned and untouched. What we supply is refurbished: every chair is stripped, inspected, rebuilt to specification and quality-checked before it leaves us.
The chair happens to be pre-owned. The standard it arrives at is not. So if you are searching for a second hand Humanscale to reduce costs, you are in the right place. What you will receive is considerably better than second hand.

Thank you to Jess and all the team at Coggin for their hard work and dedication in providing us with more high quality refurbished chairs, and a full impact report for our ESG & sustainability reporting. I'd have no hesitation in recommending their services, every item we've received has been of very high quality with service to match.
Are your Humanscale chairs genuine?
Yes. We only supply authentic Humanscale chairs. Every chair is checked for authenticity during inspection, and anything that does not pass is recycled rather than resold.
Are refurbished Humanscale chairs the same as second hand?
No. Second hand means pre-owned and untouched. Our chairs are professionally refurbished: stripped, inspected, rebuilt and quality-checked before they leave us. You receive a chair that performs like new, with a 12-month warranty on the parts we replace.
What warranty do you offer?
A 12-month warranty on the parts we replace during refurbishment, subject to our terms and conditions.
Do Humanscale chairs need adjusting?
Barely. The recline on a Freedom, Liberty or Diffrient World is set by your own weight rather than a tension dial, and the back forms itself around your spine. Seat height and arm height are the only things most people touch. That is why they work well on shared and hot desks.
Which Humanscale chair is best for me?
The Freedom with headrest suits long days at a screen. The Freedom low back is the same chair for desks where a headrest gets in the way. The Liberty is slimmer and lighter, so it moves between rooms easily. The Diffrient World is the most pared back and the best value for shared workstations. Tell us how the chairs will be used and we will recommend.
Do you buy Humanscale chairs in volume?
Yes, and they are among the chairs we most want. We buy Humanscale seating from 25 chairs upwards, from businesses only. Send us photos and quantities and we will make an offer.

Yes. We deliver and install across the UK. Typical lead time is 10 working days depending on location and quantity.
