Quick Answer
Easy Spaces supplies and installs office cubicles for businesses across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Tempe, and the East Valley.

Most Phoenix cubicle projects are delivered and installed within 48–72 hours of approval. A single cubicle workstation runs $400–$1,800 purchased, depending on panel height and configuration; full open-plan systems for 10–20 people typically run $15,000–$45,000 installed.
What I’ve Learned Installing Cubicles Across Phoenix
After overseeing more than 26,923 chairs and 1,833 desk installations across the Phoenix metro, many of them cubicle-based open-plan systems, the mistake I see most often isn’t about style or budget. It’s about panel height.
Most Phoenix businesses spec their cubicles based on how they look in a catalog photo. What they don’t account for is how the panel height interacts with their actual ceiling height, HVAC layout, and lighting grid. A 65-inch high-wall cubicle in a space with 9-foot ceilings feels like a maze. A 42-inch low-wall system in a call center creates noise problems that no amount of carpet can fix.
This guide gives you the real sizing framework, honest pricing, and a clear picture of what type of cubicle system actually works for different Phoenix office environments.
Cubicle Types: Which System Is Right for Your Phoenix Office
Low-Wall Cubicles (38–48 inches)
Panel height sits below eye level when seated, allowing visibility across the floor while providing a defined personal workspace.
Best for: collaborative teams, creative agencies, tech firms, and any Phoenix office where communication and visibility matter more than acoustic separation.
Typical footprint: 6×6 ft or 6×8 ft per workstation. Approximate cost per station (purchased): $400 – $900
Mid-Wall Cubicles (52–58 inches)
The most common configuration in Phoenix professional services offices. Panel height sits at approximately eye level when seated, enough to reduce visual distraction without creating a fully enclosed feel.
Best for: financial services, insurance, healthcare administration, and mixed teams where some focus work happens alongside collaboration.
Typical footprint: 6×8 ft or 8×8 ft per workstation. Approximate cost per station (purchased): $700 – $1,200
High-Wall Cubicles (65–85 inches)
Full privacy panels that extend well above seated eye level. Significantly reduces noise and visual distraction. Requires thoughtful HVAC and lighting planning.
Best for: call centers, legal teams, accounting firms, and roles that require extended periods of focused individual work.
Typical footprint: 8×8 ft or 8×10 ft per workstation. Approximate cost per station (purchased): $900 – $1,800
Benching / Open-Plan Workstations
Not technically cubicles, but frequently what Phoenix businesses are actually looking for when they search for cubicles. Continuous desk runs with low or no dividers. Maximum density and collaboration, minimum privacy.
Best for: startups, sales floors, and open-plan layouts where headcount flexibility matters more than acoustic separation.
Typical footprint: 5–6 linear feet per person. Approximate cost per station (purchased): $350 – $800
Cubicle Pricing in Phoenix: What to Budget in 2026
| Configuration | Panel Height | Per Station (Purchase) | 10-Station System | 20-Station System |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low-wall open plan | 38–48 in | $400 – $900 | $5,000 – $10,000 | $9,000 – $18,000 |
| Mid-wall standard | 52–58 in | $700 – $1,200 | $8,000 – $14,000 | $15,000 – $26,000 |
| High-wall private | 65–85 in | $900 – $1,800 | $11,000 – $20,000 | $20,000 – $38,000 |
| Benching system | None / 12 in | $350 – $800 | $4,500 – $9,000 | $8,000 – $16,000 |
All ranges include delivery and professional installation in the Phoenix metro. Subscription pricing is separate; see below.
Add-ons that affect total cost:
- Integrated power/data ports: $80–$200 per station
- Overhead storage bins: $120–$300 per station
- Tackable fabric panels vs. painted: $50–$150 per station
- Glass or acrylic upper panels: $200–$500 per station
How Much Space Does Each Cubicle Need?
The most common sizing mistake: not accounting for circulation paths and shared spaces when calculating how many workstations fit in a room.
| Stations Needed | Minimum Usable Sq Ft | Recommended Sq Ft (with circulation) |
|---|---|---|
| 5 stations | 250 – 400 sq ft | 450 – 600 sq ft |
| 10 stations | 500 – 800 sq ft | 900 – 1,200 sq ft |
| 15 stations | 750 – 1,200 sq ft | 1,350 – 1,800 sq ft |
| 20 stations | 1,000 – 1,600 sq ft | 1,800 – 2,400 sq ft |
| 30 stations | 1,500 – 2,400 sq ft | 2,700 – 3,600 sq ft |
A useful rule of thumb for Phoenix office planning: budget 120–150 sq ft per person for a cubicle-based layout, including circulation, shared areas, and your conference room.

Cubicles by Subscription vs. Purchase
Rather than a large upfront capital expense, many Phoenix businesses include their cubicle systems in a monthly office furniture subscription or rental plan. The subscription covers the full cubicle system, delivery, professional installation, reconfigurations as your team changes, and end-of-term removal.
| Purchase | Subscription | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $15,000 – $45,000+ | $0 |
| Monthly cost | $0 (after purchase) | $400 – $1,800/mo |
| Installation | Extra ($2,000–$6,000) | Included |
| Reconfiguration | Extra ($1,500–$5,000 each) | Included |
| End-of-lease removal | Extra ($2,000–$8,000) | Included |
| Best for | Building owners, 10+ year occupants | Businesses on 1–5 year leases |

Open Plan vs. Cubicles: How Phoenix Offices Are Actually Configuring in 2026
The “open office vs. cubicles” debate peaked around 2015, and the answer in 2026 is almost always: both. Most Phoenix businesses we work with are landing on a hybrid configuration:
The most common Phoenix layout we install today: 60–70% benching or low-wall workstations for collaborative team work, with 20–30% mid-to-high-wall cubicles for roles that require extended focused work, finance, legal, technical writing, and similar functions. The remaining 10% goes to enclosed phone rooms or focus pods.
This hybrid approach has replaced the full open-plan layouts that dominated 2015–2020 Phoenix office builds. The shift back toward acoustic separation is driven by post-pandemic return-to-office realities: employees coming back from home offices expect at a minimum some visual and acoustic privacy at their workstation.
Phoenix Office Insight from Jason Bowman: The companies that over-invested in fully open benching layouts between 2016 and 2020 are the ones calling us now to add panel systems and dividers. The acoustic problem in open Phoenix offices is real, especially in Class B buildings where ceiling height and hard floors amplify noise. A modest investment in mid-wall panels pays back quickly in focused work time and reduced complaints during return-to-office transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office cubicles cost in Phoenix? A single cubicle workstation in Phoenix costs $400–$1,800 purchased, depending on panel height and configuration. A complete 10-person cubicle system runs $8,000–$20,000 installed. A 20-person system runs $15,000–$38,000 installed. Subscription pricing starts at $400/month and includes delivery, installation, and removal.
What is the best cubicle height for a Phoenix office? Mid-wall cubicles at 52–58 inches are the most versatile and most commonly installed in Phoenix professional offices. They reduce visual distraction without fully enclosing the space. High-wall systems (65–85 inches) are better for call centers and roles requiring sustained, focused work. Low-wall systems (38–48 inches) work best for collaborative teams where visibility and communication are priorities.
How fast can cubicles be delivered in Phoenix? Easy Spaces delivers and installs most Phoenix cubicle projects within 48–72 hours of approval, compared to the 6–12 week lead times typical of traditional commercial furniture vendors. Availability depends on configuration and quantity.
Can I rent cubicles in Phoenix instead of buying? Yes. Easy Spaces offers cubicle systems by monthly subscription starting at $400/month. Subscriptions include delivery, professional installation, reconfigurations as your team grows, and end-of-term removal, with no large upfront capital required.
How many cubicles fit in my Phoenix office? Budget 120–150 sq ft per person for a cubicle-based layout, including circulation and shared areas. A 1,500 sq ft Phoenix office typically fits 10–12 cubicle workstations comfortably. Send us your floor plan, and we’ll spec the right count and configuration at no charge.
Do cubicles work for hybrid offices? Yes, and the most effective hybrid layouts we install in Phoenix combine low-wall benching for collaborative work with mid-to-high-wall cubicles for focused roles. A full open-plan layout rarely serves hybrid teams well because employees returning from home offices expect at a minimum some acoustic separation.
