On-campus catering other than that provided by UNF Dining Services or Mayes Food Service requires Environmental Health & Safety approval.

Commercial vs. Residential Furniture

When purchasing furniture for office spaces, it is important to understand the differences between commercial and residential furniture. Commercial furniture is more durable and can handle the wear and tear of constant usage, while residential furniture is not designed to be as sturdy because it simply does not experience the same traffic. Because of its longevity, professional appearance, and superior construction, commercial furniture is often more costly than residential furniture; however, commercial furniture can be customized in various ways to meet the needs of the campus department. As such, commercial furniture is made to order and can take six to eight weeks to arrive.


Because of client customization, manufacturers often do not allow returns, and if they do, the return policies might include hefty return fees and return shipping costs. However, commercial furniture usually includes lengthy warranties to cover any manufacturer defect. Despite longer lead times and limited return policies, campus departments can expect exceptional quality accompanied by lengthy warranties from commercial furniture in their office spaces.

Payment

Orders that cost less than $5,000 and do not include interior design services should be placed with your P-Card. Orders that exceed $5,000 or include interior design include, require a purchase order. Once you receive the final quote, you will enter a requisition in Banner and forward the quote to Procurement Services as backup documentation.
