It&#8217;s even bigger when school administrators have only a few weeks to pull it off.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Smith System&#8217;s QuickShip Program made it happen for Caroline Middle School in just 10 days.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In early June 2022, the Milford, VA, school knew it was facing a fiscal year deadline. By month&#8217;s end, it had to order and install a major furniture order. The timing was right to replace the school&#8217;s outdated desks and chairs with furniture designed for modern, collaborative learning.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;I knew Smith System could handle the order size and provide the durability the school wanted. But I thought maybe the order was too large for Smith System&#8217;s QuickShip program,&#8221; said Woody Woodhouse, account manager with The Supply Room. Not so. &#8220;Smith System said &#8216;yes&#8217; and gave me a guaranteed delivery date.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>On June 14, Smith System received the school&#8217;s order for 1,500 Flavors Chairs and 1,200 Interchange Mini-Diamond Student Desks, plus 60 teacher desks, all trimmed in the school&#8217;s signature blue. The ordered shipped on June 24, meeting the school&#8217;s deadline.<\/p>\r\n<p>See these photos below from the installation and of Woodhouse as he oversees setting up the big, blue sea of chairs and desks.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Unknown-10\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/Unknown-10.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-10\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Unknown-12\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/Unknown-12.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-12\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Unknown-13\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/Unknown-13.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-13\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Unknown-4\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/Unknown-4.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-4\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Unknown-6\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/Unknown-6.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-6\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Unknown-11\" src=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/Unknown-11.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-11\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herculean effort gets PreK\u201312 students back to in-person learning safely.<a class=\"read-more \" href=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/sweetcaroline\/\" title=\"Read More\"> <span class=\"button default\">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"read-more \" href=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/sweetcaroline\/\" title=\"Read More\"> <span class=\"button default\">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":9073,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-customer-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Smith System Meets School\u2019s Large, Quick-Turn Furniture Order<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sweet Caroline!
