Library Furniture
Raeco is proud to be your trusted Australian supplier of library furniture, school furniture, university furniture, and education furniture for over 60 years.
Furniture in a school or university library needs to accommodate much more than quiet reading. Students may work independently, meet in groups, attend classes or use the same area for different activities throughout the day.
Raeco is an Australian library furniture supplier with products for schools, universities, public libraries and other education environments. The range includes task chairs, tables, lounges, ottomans, circulation desks, children’s furniture, individual study furniture, feature pieces and outdoor options.
Mobile, modular and stackable education furniture is useful in rooms where the layout changes regularly. More permanent pieces can be used to establish defined reading zones, study areas and service points. Colours and finishes can also be coordinated across different products.
When comparing school or university furniture, factors such as comfort, durability, accessibility and available space all need to be considered. Raeco’s consultants can assist with selecting furniture that fits the room and reflects how students and staff will use it.
We deliver Australia-wide, including but not limited to these towns and cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, Perth, Hobart, Newcastle, Armidale, Wollongong, Port Macquarie, Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Cairns, Toowoomba, and Rockhampton.
