Writing off the cost of furniture more quickly doesn’t mean recovering the cost more quickly. Does it?

I also strongly suspect that if one looks at the statistics (and I’m sure there are statistics on this somewhere), cubes are moved, changed and replaced at a greater rate than are chairs, desks and file cabinets in both private and public sectors.
Just a thought.
