Preschool and Daycare Center Classroom Furniture that is both “Green” and Budget-Friendly

Monday, January 24th, 2011
Here is what Stevens has to say about their “green” school furniture line named eco™:
eco™ is manufactured of a 100% post-industrial recovered wood core, which uses substantially less wood than solid wood products. This recycled fiberboard is fused with a durable, embossed melamine surface to give it the look and feel of real wood.The end result is furniture that provides superior strength, durability, and long-life with a warmth comparable to rich hardwoods.
This maple-finish collection provides a new choice in early learning furnishings, one that provides superior strength, a warm look and a durable surface at a price point lower than hardwoods or laminates.
  • 100% Recycled and Reclaimed Materials
  • Solid Wood Appearance
  • Integrated Dowel Pin Construction
  • Child-Friendly Rounded, Bullnose Shape for Shelving, Horizontal, and Vertical Surfaces
  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Free
  • Fully Assembled
  • Made in the U.S.A.

Longo is able to assist schools and designers eager to specify ecological and economical children’s furniture for early childhood classrooms, pre-schools and daycare centers.  eco™ is a great line when purchasing decisions reflect a “green” priority and desire to maintain your budget.

In addition, Longo is  able to provide both wood and plastic laminate casework for these activity areas and classrooms, along with a variety of furniture like children’s seating & tables, built-in casework (millwork), book display furniture and shelving.

Please direct all inquiries with regards to eco™ furniture, early learning classroom planning, and construction projects to the marketing department at Longo (info@longoinc.com).  To request a consultant & space evaluation, email Nat Longo (nlongo@longoinc.com).

Science Lab Table Combines Lecture and Laboratory Experiment Areas

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

The Sheldon Axis Infinity Lab Table is the latest in innovative products distributed by Longo Associates.  This student workstation has the ability to combine laboratory & lecture areas, thus eliminating the need for additional tablet arm chairs and/or two-student tables in a science classroom.

Another application for this modern student lab table is the science room renovation.  Older school building tend to have smaller classrooms, regardless of how the room is to be used.  In many instances these old classrooms when undergoing a renovation project do not have the room to safely (and cost effectively) house separate laboratory and lecture areas.  The Axis table in this case would safely occupy the classroom space currently available in creating a modern laboratory setting that still retains a classic lecture experience.
