ONE THING ABOUT OUR COMPANY THAT WE WOULD
LIKE UH TO KNOW:
Our focus is the one on one relationship
with each customer and department. We are
here to make purchasing office furniture a
more pleasant experience. We enjoy
introducing new product lines making sure
the end user knows what is available to
them. We are small but great things come in
small packages. We like to be a hands on
company, knowing the smallest detail it
takes to make each project perfect.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT THE COMPANY:
The company was started six years ago. We
saw a need to be price competitive and to
bring personal service back into the
industry. One of my best experiences was
when one of my automobile dealerships was in
desperate need of ten custom built tables
for their showroom. Our competition said it
would take six weeks or more for the tables
to be made. To my customer’s surprise, we
had them delivered and installed the next
morning at a lower price. I called the
purchaser as soon as my installation crew
finished setting up the tables and asked how
everything looked; he said the tables were
perfect. He is still amazed to this day how
those custom tables were delivered in such
timely manner! We do what we can to provide
the best knowledge and service in the office
furniture industry. There are no amateurs at
this company. We have enjoyed meeting quite
a few people at the university and look
forward to a great working relationship with
each department. There are two alumni
associated with our company. Coming back to
UH brings back wonderful memories. Go
Cougars!
