"I would like to personally thank you and your staff for the professional job you did, in servicing, promptly delivering, then fitting PPS Library staff to our new chairs. You and your staff were pleasant, thorough, and took time out of your busy schedules to follow-up, which was very much appreciated. The service we received was impeccable! It was a pleasure doing business with you.

"WELL DONE!! No, I am not referring to a steak but to the nice work done by your company in general and our local rep. Ms. Christine Thornton specifically. The process of selecting styles and the myriad of options is exciting at first but is quickly followed by numbness. There are more color selections then have ever been found in nature which further exacerbates the process. Ms. Thornton showed remarkable patience through this process and did an excellent job in gently but firmly keeping us on track as we wandered off in our esoteric conversations. She also showed a good grasp of what we wished our end results to be. Through her knowledge of the products , their capabilities or lack therof, she questioned where we wanted to be and crafted her options to get us there. Had she not done this, we would still be arguing about what kind of casters we wanted. The most critical furniture we bought was the dispatch consoles. These had to fit exactly, provide adequate room for the electronics and work space for the dispatchers, had to meet ergonomic requirements, had to look sharp, and be adaptable for the never ending moves and changes that will occur. Christine did some fine research and came up with the XYBix solution. Neat stuff and very reasonably priced. Installation went fine. The office furniture was on time and installed properly. The craftsman made the inevitable last minute changes with cordiality and good humor. The installers from XYBix were asked to make several last minute modifications and some fairly extensive rearrangements to the dispatch area. They showed the patience of saints and humor the size of Alaska. Christine did a fine job as mediator and managed to serve the best interests of the company and the client. She also supplied some great donuts." Steve Esselstyn Asst. Dir./Ops.Mgr. Deschutes County 9-1-1 |

"I wanted to thank you so much for all your help in outfitting our new office. The adjustable desks you recommended for my office are absolutely perfect. The motorized desk and slanting keyboard tray has been especially helpful with my sore wrist...It took a day or two to adjust to the tray. Now, we could not live without it." Peggy Simpson Office Manager Portland Police Association |

"Since I got the (keyboard drawer), the persistent pain has gone completely away. Also, I don't have a tension now on my neck or a burning sensation on my back. This is a dramatic recovery, in my book. I believe the keyboard drawer to be a major contributor to my recovery; and I highly recommended it's use by others with CTS problems."

"I am writing regarding my experience with Harris WorkSystems on multiple new building and renovation projects on the Clackamas Community College campuses over the past seven years. My experience has been very positive, and I recommend them for consideration based on these experiences.
In all phases of these projects, the attention to detail, quality of drawings, project management and installation has been outstanding.
Harris WorkSystems delivered all products on time and within budget. The entire crew from Sales Rep. to Installation Crew acted with the utmost professionalism.
Each of our buildings provided new challenges with a different set of end-user departments. Everyone on the Harris team was patient, accommodating and full of great ideas as we moved from one building to the next.
The college has just opened a new 46,000 square foot facility at the Harmony Campus to replace an existing facility and provide expanded space for the Health Sciences program. Harris WorkSystems was selected for this project and the installation was completed as required for the move in.
Please Feel free to contact me if you have specific questions or issues you would like to discuss regarding my experience with Harris WorkSystems.

"This letter is to commend you for your outstanding service and savings you provided the Bureau of Licenses during our new space remodel and move, which was completed in January 2004. As you have seen, our space is beautiful and functional. You played a big part in achieving these results. How can you ask for a better service than what you provided? You knew we had a budget and a lot of things to happen inside that budget, the least of which was some significant furniture purchases for 9 new offices that we had never had to furnish before. You saved us at least $120,000 in furniture costs. Thank You. That savings ensured that we could expand our modular furniture system for the staff. Everyone in our office was able to get a larger workstation then they had before. You worked along side the Architect to ensure a counter design that would be flexible and functional. This was necessary since we weren't quite sure how our new tax program would impact our work needs at the front counter. I can say that we have changed the front counter several times to adjust to new traffic requirements and would have not been able to do so with a less flexible furniture design. Along this line, you worked with manufacturers for specialized furniture and it was delivered as promised. Your work with other vendors (both furniture and movers) to ensure a smooth move was appreciated and it paid off. Believe me, I was here for four days straight while everything happened, so I know. Finally your attention to our ergonomic issues to ensure that everyone had an ergonomically correct workstation when they arrived was greatly appreciated. And in those few instances where things were not quite right, your staff was here most of the day to make things right. Thank you for your attention to detail and wonderful customer service. Not only did you work to meet our budget, but you saved us money in the process. We have a great functional office space that is cost affective and was completed on schedule. We look forward to working with you on future projects." Terri Williams Operations & Policy Manager Portland Bureau of Licenses |

"I am pleased to provide a strong endorsement for the products and services of Harris WorkSystems . I selected Harris WorkSystems to furnish 21,000 sq. feet of office space. Our order totaled $200,000 to furnish 60 office cubicles, four conference rooms, ten shared work spaces, and twelve private offices.They exceeded my expectations. To start, these organizations provide excellent customer service. Additionally, furniture layout options came free as part of our purchase. Our management team was able to review numerous furniture styles in various space configurations generated by a computer aided design software package. This technology shortened the planning period by giving us a wide breadth of options in a very short time. Harris WorkSystems provided me with high quality office furniture that is aesthetically pleasing and will endure the test of time. The products have delivered freedom, mobility, and maximum functionality, all with alluring style. Over the past three years, the self-adjusting feature of our desktops has saved us approximately $8,000. Indeed, our purchase has resulted in a wise investment that will yield dividends for many years to come. Our staff is elated with our office space and it serves as a great selling point to attract the best and the brightest in the Information Technology Industry.Given my positive experience, I will continue to work with this excellent organization. Again, as a very satisfied repeat customer, I highly recommend Harris WorkSystems." Chrystella Byers Administrative & Marketing Manager City of Portland |

"I would just like to say how much I have appreciated the way Harris WorkSystems has been there to help Northwest Permanente whenever and wherever we have needed you. Our ailing physicians have been impressed and delighted with the magic you have worked by overhauling their workstations. I credit your company with keeping our physicians working. Your expertise and knowledge elevate ergonomics from its snake oil, gadget-oriented status to its rightful place as a cure and prevention for repetitive-strain injuries." Julie K. Jenson NW Permanente |

"I wanted to let you know how well the adjustments to my office room area are working for me. The change is just remarkable! The negative-slope keyboard is probably the single most important improvement that was made for me. Within a week or so, the tendonitis was abating in my arms - I could hardly believe it." Vikki Valentine Math Department Portland Community College |

"We invited Harris WorkSystems to provide us with options to maximize and modernize our new office space. They provided several options to enhance our surroundings while also meeting our budget criteria. The planning and selection process was made very easy due to Harris' understanding of our needs and our time constraints.
Harris WorkSystems did an outstanding job of coordinating with Hart Crowser, the contractor and property manager at our new location, and our moving company to accomplish the installation right on schedule. As a result, we were able to move into our new space with no delays, and minimal interruptions in workflow.
We are extremely happy with our furniture selection and the outstanding service provided by Harris WorkSystems. They worked diligently to understand and meet our goals, our time schedule, and stay within budget. We look forward to working with Harris WorkSystems in the future and would recommend them with great confidence. " Constance J. Taylor Regional Manager, Oregon Operations Hart Crowser |

"RNA Networks, Inc. is a high-tech start-up headquartered in Portland's historic Old Town. We are the leader in memory virtualization software. We moved into our office in May, 2008. The space was already furnished by a previous tenant, but as our staff and the oreganization's needs grew, it was evident that a more efficient use of space was becoming a priority.
Harris WorkSystems was invited to look at the space and offer recommendations which fit our criteria. As a start-up, it was important for us to make budget-minded choices; to have new and existing furniture coordinate as much as possible; and to make selections requiring minimal rewiring or changes to the physical office.
Harris WorkSystems already had a number of high-tech companies on their client list and understood what types of workstations would both fit the needs of our staff and our available space. They created a floor plan allowing team members engaged in the same endeavors to work near each other for collaboration while providing a certain level of privacy. We were provided with a number of furniture options at different price points for consideration. Installation was handled smoothly with a minimum of disruption to our staff. Harris also appreciated our decision to furnish our space in a staged process over time.
Since the initial project, we have had a variety of sample office chairs on hand to test out. Again, Harris provided several options that met our budget criteria.
It is a pleasure to work with a company who focuses on the goal of the client and demonstrates every effort to meet their client's needs. We look forward to working with Harris WorkSystems in the future. " Frank Tycksen Chief Operations Officer RNA Networks, Inc. |

"Banfield The Pet Hospital is an international for profit business dedicated to providing the best in pet care available and advancing veterinary science, skills and training for those involved with pet care wherever it is needed. In November of 2005 we completed our new state of the art North American corporate headquarters, veterinarian hospital and training facility in Portland, Oregon.
As part of this effort we contracted Harris WorkSystems, Inc. for furnishing the 150,000 square foot facility covering two floors. This involved setting up workspace for 650 employees, 17 conference rooms, cafe area, lobby, library and training areas. As you can imagine, this effort required a high level of coordination including design, specification and budget; ordering and scheduling and finally receiving and installation. We found we were able to communicate with the people at Harris very well on all these issues. They provided creative approaches, were very accessible and followed through on every detail. We met our time to occupy on schedule, and any items needing follow up were completed in a timely fashion. We were delighted in every way with how the furnished space looked and functioned.
Harris WorkSystems continues to be a valuable supplier for our facility needs. We have continued to expand and they have continued to meet and exceed our expectations. In addition they provide valuable expertise and solutions for ergonomic concerns, both in addressing problems if they exist and in providing functionality that avoids health and safety problems.
I have a high regard for the people at Harris and the products and services they provide. I can heartily recommend they for any project large or small. I am willing to discuss any questions you may have in regard to Harris WorkSystems and our headquarters project as well as our ongoing experience with them as a valued supplier.
