5 reasons to choose V.I.P.S.

1. Customization

Not all manufacturers offer customizable products, which may be important to meet your project requirements and budget. For example, if you need a table or bookcase that measures outside the standard four dimensions, consider a partner that offers customization.


Most companies only offer furnishings in spec sizes. But if you need a product built to your exact specifications, choose a partner with the capability to build precisely what you need in the color you want from scratch.

2. convenience

When choosing an educational furnishing vendor, consider the size of your project and the number of different products you need to outfit your new facility. For example, imagine a design that calls for visual communications, seating, desks, bookcases, and technology equipment.

You’ll likely save time and money (and create consistent, school-wide styling) with a manufacturer that offers everything you need in a one-stop shopping experience. For projects with a more narrow scope, a single-purpose vendor may make more sense.


3. Range of price points

Classroom furniture and design budgets aren’t unlimited, which means buyers have to make choices about spaces that deserve more investment and spaces where they can save money.


Frequently used classroom items, such as seating and desks, may warrant a higher spend over lesser-used items such as cabinets and bookcases. Look for companies that offer a mix of value-driven and premium products, so you can select based on your budget and priorities.

4. Speed of delivery

Project past deadline and you need furniture now? Some educational furnishing manufacturers can take up to 26 weeks to ship, and they many charge a premium for faster delivery.


If you’re concerned about delivery dates and last-minute needs, find a partner that offers expedited shipping on popular items — and doesn’t charge extra for that service.

5. Service & Reliability

When you select a furniture manufacturer for your school project, you should have a direct line to a single project manager who oversees the entire process, regardless of the types of products you’re buying.


For projects that don’t have a dedicated designer — or when you need additional design help — look to partner with a company that offers complete design services in-house at no cost.

After months of careful planning, the last thing you need is for your items to arrive damaged. When evaluating your supplier options, ask how products will be packaged for shipping and what the company’s response is to freight damage. Product replacement warranties should cover at least 10 years.
