It’s decision time for students which means it’s crunch time for student housing managers. As a leading student housing furniture manufacturer, we understand the challenges you’re facing as you prepare for the start of the fall semester. As you wait for clear direction from your university on its reopening plan, there are four steps you can take right now to make sure you’re ready when students return to campus.
Here’s what you can do today to make sure your residence hall furniture is ready when student life resumes this fall.
Get Ahead of the Scramble
You don’t want to have to play catch up this summer once you get the go-ahead to make your residence hall furniture purchases. Delaying your order can trickle down to reduced inventory or shipping delays. Start talking to vendors now to understand their current stocking strategies. Identify which vendor will have the furniture you need in stock when you’re ready to buy to avoid additional delays.
At Blockhouse, our warehouse is currently stocked with beds, chairs, desks, wardrobes and more to make sure we have durable student housing furniture in stock and ready to go the moment you need it.
Look for Innovative Features that Save Money Long-Term
Many university budgets are tight and facility managers need to find ways to make their furniture invest go farther. At Blockhouse, we offer high-quality, durable res life furniture that’s manufactured with innovative features like replaceable components. One example is our patented Key-Loc cushion technology. It allows you to flip or recover cushions rather than replace them, saving you money long-term.
Find the Right Partnership
Don’t try to navigate your furniture purchases alone, especially if you’re on a tight timeline. A reputable contract furniture manufacturer should be more than a supplier. At Blockhouse, we not only manufacture high-quality contract furniture, we also support you with floorplan design, fabric and option suggestions and product selection to make the entire process easy and seamless. Even if you’re not yet ready to place your res life furniture order, our team is still here to help you specify the furniture you need ahead of time so you’re ready to go the moment your university gives you the green light.
