The furniture selection process was easy to navigate with the SBI team who let us test out furniture in the showroom and made recommendations based on our vision and budget. The furniture complimented the graphics and has created a welcoming aesthetic for the space. It was great to have the SBI team come back through after the facility opened to consult on some additional furniture pieces to help fill out our space.
