School furniture FAQs

From choosing the right chair to coordinating a school-wide order, find answers to common questions about our furniture and project support.

Products & sizing

What types of school furniture can I find here?
Explore furniture for classrooms, libraries and learning commons, STEM and makerspaces, cafeterias, student lounges, school offices and reception areas. Product categories include seating, desks, tables, storage and more. Start with the space you are furnishing, then compare dimensions, features and finish options.
How do I choose the right chair and desk height?
Use student height and the manufacturer's sizing guidance as your starting point, rather than age or grade alone. Look for a chair that lets the student sit with their feet supported, and a desk height that allows comfortable arm positioning with space underneath. Adjustable furniture can help when students of different heights share a room.
How do I compare furniture for everyday school use?
Consider construction, weight capacity, stability, cleaning requirements and the intended age group. Check whether chairs can stack, tables can nest or fold, and mobile furniture has suitable locking casters. Compare the specifications for the exact model and size you plan to order.
Can I choose colours, materials and finishes?
Many products offer a choice of colours or finishes, depending on the manufacturer and model. Options may include plastic, laminate, wood veneer, paint, fabric or mesh. Screens can display colours differently, so ask about available samples if a close match is important. Confirm the selected finish and any pricing or lead-time changes before ordering.
How can I check accessibility, certifications or Canadian origin?
These details vary by product. Share the dimensions, clearance, documentation or country-of-origin requirements for your project so we can help review suitable options. Do not assume that every item in a collection has the same certifications, accessibility features or manufacturing location.

Planning your space

Can you help plan a classroom or a larger school project?
Our team can help you compare furniture and consider layouts for classrooms, shared learning spaces and larger education projects. Share your goals, room information, quantities, budget and timeline so we can discuss the support your project needs.
What information should I send when planning a space?
Send room dimensions or an available floor plan, student age groups, expected capacity and a list of the activities the space needs to support. Photos, existing furniture dimensions, storage needs and your target completion date also help. Include doors, windows and fixed features that affect the layout.
How many desks or tables will fit in my room?
Capacity depends on more than the room's total area. Account for the actual furniture footprint, chair movement, circulation routes, teaching space, storage and access to doors. A layout review can help compare arrangements; your school or project team should confirm applicable occupancy and access requirements.
Can you help with flexible classrooms and shared spaces?
Yes. Tell us how the room changes throughout the day, such as moving between individual work, group activities and presentations. We can help compare mobile, adjustable, stacking or nesting furniture and consider where items will be stored when not in use.
Can I match existing furniture or furnish a project in stages?
Share photos, manufacturer names, model numbers, dimensions and finish details where available. We can help investigate matching or complementary options. For staged projects, discuss quantities and timing early, since product availability, finishes and pricing can change between orders.

Quotes & ordering

How do I request a furniture quote?
Use the Add to Quote option where available, or contact our team with product names or links, quantities, preferred sizes and finishes, and your delivery postal code. Include your target date and any installation or delivery needs so the quote can reflect your project more accurately.
Can I request pricing for a full classroom or school?
Yes. Send the full furniture list, or describe the rooms and quantities you need help planning. Pricing depends on the products, specifications, quantities and delivery requirements. Ask us to review the project as a whole rather than assuming a standard volume discount applies.
What if a product does not show a price or my preferred option?
Contact us with the product name and the configuration you need. Some items require a quote based on size, finish, quantity or freight. We can help confirm available options and current pricing before you proceed.
Can my school use a purchase order, and what are the payment terms?
Tell us about your purchasing process when requesting a quote, including any purchase order, vendor registration or billing requirements. Our team can confirm the documentation and payment arrangements available for your order before you approve it.
Can I change, cancel or return an order?
Contact us as soon as possible with your quote or order number. Eligibility depends on the product, manufacturer, order status and applicable terms. Custom finishes or items already in production may have restrictions. Confirm change, cancellation and return terms before placing your order.

Shipping & delivery

Do you supply school furniture across Canada?
Yes. Share your delivery address and postal code so we can confirm freight options and costs for your location. Remote destinations, limited-access buildings and other special delivery requirements may need additional coordination.
How long will my furniture take to arrive?
Timing varies by manufacturer, product availability, selected finishes, quantity and destination. Ask for the current estimated lead time when requesting your quote. If you need furniture before a term starts or a building opens, share that date early so we can discuss suitable options.
How are shipping costs and delivery services determined?
Freight depends on the size and quantity of the items, the destination and the service required. Confirm whether your quote includes dock delivery, curbside delivery, inside placement, unpacking or other services. These are different service levels and should be agreed before ordering.
Is furniture delivered assembled, and can I arrange installation?
Assembly requirements vary by product. Some furniture arrives assembled, while other items need assembly or site installation. Tell us if you need assembly, placement or packaging removal so we can confirm available arrangements, scope and costs for your location.
What should we prepare before delivery?
Arrange a receiving contact and confirm delivery hours, loading access, door and elevator dimensions, stairs and a clear route to the intended rooms. Tell us about building work or access restrictions in advance. If several manufacturers are involved, confirm whether the order will arrive in one delivery or multiple shipments.

Care & after-sales support

What should I do if furniture arrives damaged or items are missing?
Check the shipment against the delivery paperwork and photograph any visible damage to packaging or furniture. Note concerns on the delivery receipt where possible, retain packaging and contact us promptly with your order number and photos. Reporting requirements can vary, so follow the instructions provided with your order.
What warranty comes with the furniture?
Warranty coverage varies by manufacturer and product, including the period of coverage, covered components and exclusions. Review the warranty for the specific item before ordering. For help with a claim, provide your order details, the model or product label, photos and a description of the issue.
How should school furniture be cleaned and maintained?
Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for the specific surface, upholstery and finish. Use only suitable cleaning products and methods, and check compatibility before applying a disinfectant. Periodically inspect fasteners, glides, casters and moving parts according to the product's maintenance guidance.
Can I order replacement parts or additional matching furniture?
Contact us with the manufacturer, model number, approximate purchase date and photos of the item or part. We can help check availability. Replacement components and matching finishes depend on the manufacturer and whether the product is still in production.
Who should I contact about an existing order?
Contact our team with your order or quote number, school or organization name and a short description of what you need. For delivery questions, include the delivery address and receiving contact. For product concerns, include photos and the model information to help us investigate.
