Dear Schools and Departments:

We have a situation where 40 brand new chairs have been delivered to Bingham High School, and the school is unable to use them for their area.

School Specialty is offering to sell these chairs at a discount if any other school in the district would be interested in taking them.

They are the National Public Seating Cafetorium Stack Chairs, with a thin upholstered black vinyl seat, black plastic back on Chrome Frame with sled base legs on glides.  These are a regular table height chair, not cafe/bar height.   Here is a picture:

Bingham's price to purchase was $69.93/each.  School Specialty is offering these at $50.00/each ($2,000 for all 40 chairs).   One box has been opened, but most are still boxed and all are in new condition.

Please contact Tonya Hodges in the Purchasing Department by Wednesday, November 20th by end of day if you are interested in purchasing these chairs.
