 WillgraemeProducts Ltd has been supplying our University with furniture for over forty years.

During this period they have demonstrated their ability to deliver large or small quantities of furniture within the required time frame.This includes the standard range as well as items they have designed or adapted specifically to our requirements.

Willgraeme has always shown a readiness to listen to and act on our ideas while using their expertise to ensure the finished article is manufactured to the highest possible standard.

The furniture they have manufactured is extremely durable, comfortable, and ergonomically sound.As an example tables and chairs installed in the Library thirty years ago are still in everyday use.The main furniture structure enables us to replace worn components(chair seats and backs, and table tops) to reduce our maintenance costs.

While Willgraeme furniture carries a ten year warranty , this has rarely been needed by us.If,however,any after sales assistance has been required Willgraeme's response has always been immediate and completely satisfactory.

I have no hesitation in recommending Willgraeme Products Ltd as a provider of quality furniture to any prospective buyer.

Yours sincerely

Terry

Purchasing Officer

 Our Conference Centre has been purchasing folding tables and Cordova skid base chairs from Willgraeme Products Ltd over a seventeen year period.

All of the original furniture is still in regular use in our busy Conference centre and this is testimony to the quality and durability of Willgraeme's products.

The Cordova chairs provide hours of comfort not often found in Conference chairs and the skid bases allow for ease of movement on carpet floors, as well as stability.

The folding tables have endured years of heavy use as they are designed for strength and durability.

We strongly recommend Willgraeme Furniture manufacturers for their 100% new Zealand made products, and for their top quality service and furniture.

Yours sincerely

 Re Willgraeme Furniture:

For over nearly 10 years I have been purchasing Willgraeme Products' seating for our boarding and day houses here at our Hamilton secondary school.

After many years of buying and replacing furniture that, frankly was not up to the task, I was lucky enough to come across Willgraeme products in Wanganui.

They had products that looked to be pretty well bullet proof, and so it proved after I trialled one.It was an immediate success.It was robust enough to handle whatever our boisterous, hormonal, teenaged students could subject it to.

We did ask for a centre leg to be added to the three seater couch, which the team at Willgraeme did willingly and without delay.We now had a product which has become our preferred seating option for our boarding and day houses.

In the intervening ten years , I have purchased at a guess around forty couches and chairs.To my recollection the only maintenance I have had to do, has been some upholstery work.

If their furniture can survive our thirteen to eighteen year olds, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who needs seating for any situation.

Kind regards

Rick

 To Whom it may Concern: Re Willgraeme Products Ltd

I am the Owner/Operator of an an award winning Restaurant and Bar in Wanganui.

We  have purchased all of the furniture for our business from Willgraeme Ltd in Wanganui.Bob and Barbara and the team were so helpful and accommodating in ensuring that the products we required were top of the range and suited exactly to our needs.

We required a variety of styles and weight bearing capacity to suit the needs of all of our patrons.We needed strong yet lightweight tables for our Garden Bar area  that our female staff could easily move in and out.Bar Leaners were designed to accommodate patrons of different height including the placement of footrails, as were Bar Stools which were increased or reduced in size to suit larger or smaller patrons.Bob and Barbara also worked with us to design special dining tables and chairs in my favourite colour.Black!

The pricing of these quality products was very competitive and reasonable and I would certainly recommend Willgraeme Ltd to any business or corporate who are considering the purchase of attractive and functional furniture suited to a semi commercial environment.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information.

Yours sincerely

Caroline

Director

Wanganui

To Whom it may concern: 

Recently we chose to use the services of Willgraeme's furniture again for our function and conference centre, because of its durabilityand comfort.I was Manager when chairs were sourced from Willgraemes in 1998 for the rebuild of the function centre.These chairs have lasted very well and have, in fact outlasted a number of newer chairs purchased by other managers from other sources in more recent years.

My experience with Willgraemes has been excellent and in subsequent years to 1998 I have purchased their chairs and tables for another function centre I was in partnership with, in the Manawatu.

I have been extremely happy with the service and the products I have purchased throuh Willgraeme and would not go  past them for any future furniture I may require.

Yours sincerely

Mike

To whom it may concern

I have great pleasure in producing this testimonial to a very quality company and their directors and personnel.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Bob,Mark,and Barbara and their team over the past few years.

We supply furniture to the hospitality industry , and many times the orders are very urgent.

We have clients in all cities throughout New Zealand and the furniture from Willgraeme has always been delivered in very good condition.

Over the past three years we have placed many orders with this company and the product has always been delivered at the time when the client would like it, whether its early morning or later in the day.

The quality of the product has always been of the highest standard , and I have never had any issues.

We have dealt with many suppliers in the past, even from Australiia and I have no hesitation to recommend Willgraeme Products.

Since using Willgraeme three years ago we have never had any reason to use any other supplier.

I have visited their factory and offices in Wanganui and it has always been a delight to meet up with them and see their product range.

If you require any further information please don't hesitate to contact me.

Your sincerely

Suresh

Director
