Here's what some school administrators, faculty, and students have to say about their experience with Lone Star Furnishings:
"During the bond, we had the opportunity to interview many different school furnishing companies. We had these companies present their products and services to our central office and campus administrators. One company rose to the top and that was Lone Star Furnishings."
Jamie Holder
Deputy Superintendent
Lindale ISD, Lindale, TX
"Melissa ISD has worked with Lone Star Furnishings since 2009, their first full year of operation. Tried another company when leadership changed, but quickly returned. Lone Star and the District have worked together setting furniture standards for campuses in use across the district, as well as worked on special projects like the new stadium complex."
Kenny Deel
Executive Director of Operations
Melissa ISD, Melissa, TX
"From showing our principals options and trends at their showroom in Carrollton, to setting meetings on each campus on design or fabric selections, or just meeting with Purchasing Office staff they are always standing ready to assist. I cannot speak highly enough about Lone Star Furnishings and recommend them without hesitation."
Darci Hooten
Director of Purchasing
Mesquite ISD, Mesquite, TX
"I have found Lone Star to be excellent partners in furnishing our schools. They have worked with our district to meet our needs and budget requirements. Their service has been exemplary, and I greatly appreciate their involvement when the furniture is being installed. They are always onsite and engaged in the installation. Lone Star works with us to provide our staff with choices that meet their needs. We have used them to provide lunchroom tables, classroom furniture, and most recently provide furniture for our state-of-the-art CTE center."
Phil Edwards
Superintendent
Angleton ISD, Angleton, TX
"Every interaction with Lone Star Furnishings was professional, courteous, and always in the best interest of the students. With over 140,000 sq. ft. of instructional space to furnish, we could not have completed this task without their expertise. They were mindful of efficiency and function as to which furnishings were the best fit for our facility and budget."
Lisa Karr
Director Buinger CTE Academy
HEB ISD, Bedford, TX
"No longer are we bound by fixed furniture … now the furniture in our building is working for us, instead of us working for it. This is different than anything anyone in our community had ever experienced in their high school years … we have adapted, and we want to teach the way our students are learning."
Jason Karnes
Assistant Superintendent
Godley ISD, Godley, TX
"Jamie Northcutt with Lone Star Furnishings was an amazing help with our district-wide classroom furniture refresh. She guided us through their turn-key process, keeping things moving from needs assessment to delivery accommodating our every need with no pressure. I will never partner with another furniture source!"
Erin Meadows
Former Chief Academic Officer
Hempstead ISD, Hempstead, TX
"Lone Star Furnishings and my sales rep, Brooks Terry, listened to my needs, provided multiple options, and were able to deliver the product in a timely manner. They have become my go-to vendor for classroom and office furniture."
Melody Grigar

Roy Gardner

"I wanted to commend you and your team on the accomplishments of the furniture placement, the coordination of the delivery after order placement and the patience exhibited during the numerous delays that might have hampered the furniture placement. Thank you and it was a pleasure working with your team, yourself, and the Lone Star Furnishings Management."

"It has been super easy working with Lone Star Furnishings; every time we’ve needed something they’ve been there. Soliciting input from teachers made them feel very valued and ensured that the furniture selections met their program needs. We were able to furnish each space according to the needs of the content being offered to our students, whether Culinary Arts, Law, Ag Sciences, or Fashion Design."
Alison Belliveau
Principal & CTE Executive Director, Dr. Gene Burton CCA
Rockwall ISD, Rockwall, TX
"Everything arrived as scheduled, and their install team came back several times to accommodate contractor finish schedules. There were no substitutions, replacements, or damaged materials presented to us."
Chris DuBois
Former Superintendent
Crockett County School District, Ozona, TX
"When I joined Lumberton ISD in June 2020, I walked into a $78.8M bond project where furniture had been an afterthought. I immediately reached out to Lone Star Furnishings because of the strong relationship I had built with them in the past and my experiences with large-scale bond projects in two former districts. I knew that Lone Star represented the kind of company I would be proud to welcome into Lumberton ISD. I knew that their excellent service, selection from a wide array of styles and manufacturers, and impeccable attention to detail would fit the high expectations of our community for the success of the bond project. If I had it to do over again, I would not change a thing."
Dr. Tony Tipton
Former Superintendent
Lumberton ISD, Lumberton, TX
"When I came over the 1st day of school last year, I was really amazed by all the different classroom settings that we had and how different it looked from our old school. In the old HS every classroom kind of looked the same just with different posters on the wall, but now we have so much happening in the classroom that it creates a different experience, and it actually helps with our learning. Depending on what class I'm in, I have a different preferred seating for every classroom. When I'm in more of my harder classes, I try to sit by myself to help me focus more. While I'm in more classes like leadership and stuff. I have those options to sit in workgroup settings where we can collaborate and work on projects and have a good vibe together."

Sherman HS student
"Frisco ISD has worked with Lone Star Furnishings for 15 plus years. As we have grown, they have been right alongside us helping to create student-centered learning environments that promote collaboration as well as student voice and choice. While we have worked with multiple team members at Lone Star Furnishings over the years, Travis Taylor has been our primary contact for the last 7 years; his responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to servicing our district plays a key role in our willingness to recommend Lone Star Furnishings to other area districts. The highest compliment I can give a vendor is that we continue to do business with them year after year...we have worked with Lone Star Furnishings for a long time! Please reach out to me if I can help with anything."
