School FAQs

Here you will find frequently asked questions relating to school furniture.

Question: Why are there no prices listed on the website?
There are various versions and options availablefor our products. The optimal product configuration forms the basis for all pricing. That is why it is important for us to advise you personally. We would be happy to provide you with a bespoke, no-obligation quote.

Question: Can the tables and chairs only be supplied in the standard colours, or are other colours available?
Bespoke designs and special colours are available for certain products at an additional cost. Please contact us so that we can provide you with a personalised quote.


Question: Where can I find detailed product information, such as standard specifications and options?
Unless already shown on the website, you’ll find detailed information in the data sheet under ‘Downloads’.


Question: We have existing pupil desks and would like to add to them. Are they still available?
If available, please note the number on the Embru sticker at the bottom of the tabletop and let us know. Depending on how old the tables are, the sticker will show the designation ‘MD’ and ‘LK/KK’ or a 10-digit barcode, which allows us to access the old order in our system with just a few clicks. Even without this sticker, we can check our system back as far as 1998. Photos are also always helpful.


Question: Do you also offer on-site consultations?
We have several sales advisers throughout Switzerland who can provide advice on-site, over the phone or at our showrooms (Payerne & Rüti). Please get in touch with us; we’d be happy to arrange a consultation appointment with you.



Question: We’ve lost the user manual for our school desks. Where can I get a new one?
You’ll find the user manuals on our website, listed under the relevant product. If not, please contact our customer service team.
