Creating Safer Learning Spaces
When it comes to education, safety doesn’t stop at the playground or parking lot. It extends into every corner of the school building. At the heart of healthier learning environments is the furniture students and educators interact with every day. That’s why we are fully committed to offering products that meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and sustainability in the education industry.
What Makes a Product “Safe” for Schools?
From classrooms and cafeterias to libraries and gymnasiums, school spaces are filled with furniture that can quietly affect health through something many people overlook - indoor air quality. Harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are often emitted by materials and finishes used in furniture, can lead to headaches, throat and eye irritation, nausea, and even long-term damage to organs. Some VOCs are even linked to cancer.
This is where GREENGUARD Certification comes in. Furniture that carries this label has been tested for low chemical emissions, helping reduce indoor air pollution and protect the well-being of students and staff. It is a simple but powerful step toward creating cleaner, safer schools.
Built to Last
Beyond air quality, furniture also needs to stand up to the daily wear and tear of school life. That is why we follow BIFMA International standards, which include rigorous performance testing for strength, durability, and stability. These guidelines are developed by the American National Standards Institute and the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association, ensuring each piece is tough enough for the classroom and built to last.
Made in North America
We also believe in supporting our local communities. Many of our products are made right here in North America, ensuring top-tier quality along with strict health and safety oversight. It also helps support local jobs and reduces the environmental impact that comes with overseas shipping.
Investing in Student Health
The choices schools make today shape how students learn, grow, and feel tomorrow. Choosing GREENGUARD certified, BIFMA compliant, and locally made furniture means schools are investing in more than desks and chairs. They are investing in long term health, comfort, and peace of mind.
