Look around at the various products that has been used to support modern learners. Educational manufacturers are focusing on flexible and sustainable furniture that support active learning environments. All reputable furniture manufacturers need to follow safety regulations set by BIFMA and ANCI.

For budgeting purposes, shipping is between 10% and 15% of the sales price. Shipping is determined by size and weight of a product. Some trucking companies charge extra depending on the type of delivery. Tailgate delivery is one price, but if the truck driver needs to unload the product, there will be an additional charge. Some products must be installed by certified installers so that the warranty is not void. Installation can run from 7% - 18% on a project. The price is often determined by the difficulty of the installation. When given a budget on a project, I try to keep about 20% - 30% to be used for shipping, installation, and other unknowns.
