Sam Saylor, Facilities Manager
Harlan County Public Schools
Harlan, Kentucky
“With Virco’s PlanSCAPE team, we received excellent products and outstanding service when furnishing our new high school. It was great to work with dedicated professionals who really took care of us.
“Because our district hadn’t completely furnished a new high school for 40 years, we organized a furniture show to evaluate possible suppliers. This gave us the opportunity to directly compare products and services from competing manufacturers.
“Virco was definitely the most impressive company at the show. Their Sage™ classroom chairs are very comfortable, and all their products are built to last. We also appreciated Virco’s friendly, helpful representatives who gave us valuable insights into the quality of their furniture. And thanks to the PlanSCAPE service, Virco was able to combine classroom chairs and desks with first aid kits, flags, fire blankets and many other furniture and equipment items in one package for our entire school.
“Our PlanSCAPE team members are the most professional people I’ve ever dealt with. As a Facilities Manager, you work with many different sales people, and it’s easy to be leery of someone who might try to sell you what you don’t actually need. Our Virco representatives proved that they were here to serve us; they earned my trust and respect.
“The installation phase of our project provides a great example. Even though we decided to install the high school’s furniture ourselves, one of our Virco reps took a week of his own time to help coordinate the installation and lend a hand in any way he could. Without his hard work, we might still be installing furniture!
“I highly recommend the PlanSCAPE service to anyone who will be furnishing a school. With Virco, you can expect first-class product quality and time-saving, expert assistance. Their professionalism is unprecedented. The PlanSCAPE team showed us they really cared about our school and our students.”
