The objective of the Furniture and Design team is to help departments create a working environment that is highly functional, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing. Our team members keep up with the changing work environment by attending classes, seminars and trade shows. We have also developed relationships with furniture manufacturers such as: Steelcase, Knoll, Herman Miller, Hon, Haworth, Kimball, Teknion, Allsteel, etc. to ensure that you will receive the best price available.

New Vendor Services Available!!

Beginning March 2007, Furniture & Design will manage smaller projects through our local dealerships. Departments may choose to call the following furniture dealerships to assist them with their smaller projects that are not “capital” projects [new or renovation projects] and are under the $25,000 bid requirement. We are still available to assist you if preferred.

Ø Chester Harvey – Pat Tobin - 636-349-3383 – Teknion Furniture

Ø Color Art – Jodie Ryndak – 314-432-3000 – Steelcase Furniture

All the dealerships offer a variety of products, but have one main flagship furniture manufacturer as described above.

If you have furniture you are trying to match that is not listed above, or seeking to work with a vendor not listed, please call us for further directions.

New Services Order Procedure:

Ø Once you have received a quote for product, enter the order on line in the FIS system as a Purchase Order.
Ø Purchase Order MUST match the quoted dollar amount & reference the quote number.
Ø Ship to Address must clearly state the bldg & room # where furniture will be installed. Not the loading dock. Otherwise additional labor charges may be incurred due to incorrect address or down time trying to locate you.
Ø Department will assume responsibility for confirming accuracy of quote with the vendor before placing order, oversee delivery and installation and report problems to the dealer.
Ø All orders are final and not subject to cancellation after the PO is placed with the dealership.
Ø Furniture is not returnable unless the vendor has made an error. They will replace with correct product or offer other solutions for consideration.
Ø Fax a copy of the quote to F&D [935-4466] with the PO Document # referenced. PO’s will not be approved until quotes are received.
Ø If you are experiencing customer service problems, we need to be notified quickly and will assist with conflict resolution if terms can not be agreed on.
