“The PlanSCAPE concept is really cool! Virco gives you lots of excellent furniture choices for schools at very competitive prices. And the PlanSCAPE team made sure that our project stayed on track.”
“We went with the U.S. Communities Contract to purchase our furniture. The contract gave us deep discounts and was easy to use. There was no bidding involved, which is a major time saver. Plus, with U.S. Communities, we were able to get the exact furniture items we wanted. With a bid, you can end up with products that you’d rather not have. That can be really frustrating: I’ve seen it happen.”
“It was great to work with our two customer-oriented Virco representatives. They were good communicators, detail-conscious, and always on top of the process. For example, before our furniture was delivered, they took the time to have an advance person stop by and check out the situation. So instead of just showing up with a truckload of furniture, our delivery crew had a clear installation plan that was based on a recent visit to our school.”
“Choosing the right furniture makes a huge difference. Our kids love their good-looking ZUMA® chairs with a higher, flexible back that’s nice and comfortable. Teachers appreciate the fact that our new student desks have open-view bookracks. That way they can see what kids are putting in their desks, and whether some kids should be encouraged to keep their desks neater.”
“One-stop shopping: that’s what PlanSCAPE is all about. And with Virco, you know they’ll back their products. I’ve purchased from Virco for years and they’ve always given us the support we needed.”
“Would I recommend PlanSCAPE? You bet! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
