One of my favorite attributes of Material Bank is the overnight delivery service. Designers have been able to get the samples they need as soon as possible and because of the messaging platform, I have been able to connect with designers who are not familiar with LBI Boyd Design Resource and share all of the products that we carry.

The Material Bank University Program has provided an outstanding learning experience for our students since our initial engagement in Summer 2020! Excellent product selection, ease of navigation, and resources that support student engagement – I could not ask for more resources to be so well organized on one site! Thank you for supporting the NDSU Interior Design Program and interior design students in creating awesome design projects supported through Material Bank!

Because of Material Bank's ‘Boards’, I’m able to curate custom material palettes to show my clients how different products from all of our lines can be used harmoniously together to fit a trending concept, color scheme, or specific design intent.

The Material Bank campus visit inspired our student base to look deeper into material selection and came at just the right time in the semester to reinvigorate student's creative drive while finishing their semester projects. Everyone had a blast picking out materials and organizing their trays. The number of materials and variety of materials that Material Bank provided us with was awesome and they let us keep what we didn't use so our school's material library received a huge update that we are still all benefiting from!

The convenience and shipping timeframe is absolutely unbelievable. I've already found so many new vendors that I would not have found through my own channels. I'm a BIG fan and have already been recommending Material Bank to all of my friends who are also designers.
