The Right Services for YOU
On the hunt for a great company? An important factor to keep in mind- Will this company do more for me than just sell and install? Whether it be telescopic bleachers, courtside seating, new lockers for your hall, Library furniture, casework or healthcare solutions. There is so much more to the product alone. Yes, you do want the finished results to be polished, secure, and worth every penny, but you don’t want a company that will do the job and then disappear, never to be heard from again. What if you discover a problem with your new product? What if, over time, a part breaks and you need something replaced? Or what if from the very beginning you find that you might need some help financing your project? Will the company you’ve been considering be able to help you with all of those scenarios? Or is there expertise selling and installing– and that’s it? 
Multiple Services from One Location
That is why you need to take a little time and examine the various companies you might be considering. Carroll Seating Company understood right away that it never is such a simple matter of providing a product and then moving on to the next customer. Building rapport with clients and seeing to all of their needs is a part of what we do. From the moment we speak with you to a few years down the road when you have a question or an issue, we are there to help put your mind at ease and make sure all your product needs, questions, and ideas are addressed.
Flexible and considerate, the goal is to get you the product you need for your location or business. We also have a wide variety of product offerings made with the highest of quality so they last for years to come. Should anything ever happen after your installation occurs, simply contact us. We keep our warehouses stocked with hundreds of replacement parts from a huge date range so if you ever discover something amiss, it can be fixed. We ship quickly so you can get what you need as soon as possible.
Communication is the Key
You can contact us at any time through the use of email, or you can call or visit one of our locations. We’re always happy to hear from clients and will do everything possible solve any concerns you may have. That’s why we don’t just supply you with the product – we supply you with solutions.

New Year, New Approach, New Attitudes
Schools of the 20th Century
The traditional approach to learning was based on the industrial model of teaching. What does this mean? This meant that space was arranged linearly, teaching was done from the front of the room, and students were taught things in order to occupy jobs in an industrial based economy. Learning was predominately passive. As we continue to educate and prepare our students in the 21st century, most schools have not changed to reflect and accommodate how today’s students interact and learn.
Where Schools need to be in the 21st century
We are living in a very different world and schools are populated by a very different student. Today’s students are conversing through email and texts, using the internet as their news forum, and communicating with students residing other states and countries via Skype. School’s need to create learning spaces to support the new generation of students. Spaces that elicit social learning in lieu of passive learning. Because, active learning is how our students of today better themselves as capable members of a team and community.
How can this be done
Take your stationary classroom and make it mobile. Adding casters and power to desks and chairs takes the traditional linear classroom into a flexible learning space accommodating all different learning styles and course topics. Lightweight mobile classroom furniture allow quick transitions from row to circle to curved layouts. Elicit socialized learning within the cafeteria. Rid your students of institutionalized rows of tables. Round tables, high tops and booths bring active learning to the cafeteria. Provide school logos on table tops and trash receptacles promoting school pride and a continued sense of school community. New chemistry lab tables, lockers, bleachers, and more can do more than just replace old fixtures. They too can help to rejuvenate a school. Kids will get a kick out of seeing bold new lockers the colors of their school, or when telescoping bleachers are retracted they spell out the name of their mascot. There are a lot of possibilities available, and both kids and teachers will be proud and delighted at a fresh look.
Ready to Help, All The Time
There are times when not every school may have the immediate funds for a lot of renovation, and we understand that. That’s why we work with a quality financing company that may be able to help the process along. Our skilled technicians and staff are ready to help make a school’s renovation a reality so that kids and teachers alike can develop in an environment fit for the 21st century. Contact us and see how we can transition your space!
