Comparing Quality in School Furniture

When it comes to school furniture, judging quality is easy. Just look at the three key areas in the product: materials, construction and design. When considered together, they'll tell you how you can expect a given piece of furniture to perform.

Quality Materials

For more than 100 years, Smith System products have been improving educational environments for students and educators. In that time we've learned which materials can make products that stand up to the daily use of a school situation, including:

• High-pressure plastic laminate
• Chrome plating 5 mils thick
• Rugged 3/8" thick bumper edges

Quality Construction

Initially, you may not be able to tell just how well built a piece of furniture is. But give the piece five, 10 or 20 years and the differences will be obvious. Smith System school furniture is built to last, with attention to detail:

• MIG welds on chair legs
• Outside hold glides that stay on
• Baked-on powdercoat surfaces
• Bumper edges stapled every 10" and in corners

Quality Design

Design has a big influence on the educational environment. It affects student performance. And it can make certain furniture inapplicable for certain curricula. We offer a wide range of styles, so you can choose the design that best fits your academic needs.

• Designs expressly for computer learning
• Designs for traditional classrooms
• Designs for team learning
