[CASL-L] library tables

[Jen]

I also used Robert H Lord, and Julie was our rep.  We got new tables and
chairs maybe four years ago now?  I also got tables on wheels that flip up
easily for nesting/ease of getting them out of the way.  They had many
different colors, even white board table tops, which I experimented with
and bought 3 of.  They are a HUGE hit - especially with kids as they study
math or work out math homework together.  There was no cost difference with
a whiteboard table top.
