[LIBRARYDIR] Furniture/Chair Ideas

[Susan Schreiner]

Hi Howard:

Haven't looked at anything officially yet, so all suggestions welcome.

I've been hoping for an answer on the funding question, but am guessing my contact is out for the day. This is all being funded by our Foundation as opposed to state funds, so I am guessing that we have the ability to buy from any vendor.

Thanks,

Susan

Can we assume you are working off a State contract, if so you might start looking at Work Pointe. We've been very happy with the quality of their furniture. 
What company furniture have you already looked at?

?Are you talking about seating that would be used at tables?

Hi Everyone:

I am tasked with the joy of buying furniture for the just renovated tutoring center, and I even have the money to do it!

One thing I need are some really durable, comfy chairs for students to hang out in. Obviously ones that will last forever and clean up easily are important. Some preferences: No leather, not too difficult to get in and out of, and can fit a large selection of body types. They can be fixed or reclining, but if they recline can't take up a lot of room, and overall shouldn't be too large or oversized.

Anyone have any ideas for durable, practical chairs their students have loved?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Susan
