Are you buying school furniture based on sticker price — or true value over time?
While we understand this doesn't work for every school, the results can't be ignored.
When you look at cost per year, high-quality school furniture often works out cheaper than lower-cost alternatives, thanks to fewer repairs and replacements.
Take the VS BasicGlide. It’s a premium school chair, but with an average lifecycle of 20 years, it costs the average school just £5.75 per unit, per year.
Compare that to a plastic equivalent with a maximum lifecycle of 5 years, and the long-term value speaks for itself.
