Who this is for
If your purchase needs more than the retail flow can offer, this is the right place to start.
Schools & kindergartens
Verified institutions outfitting Montessori classrooms, prepared environments or single rooms.
Training centres
AMI/AMS-aligned teacher training institutes equipping classrooms and student practice rooms.
Therapy & special-needs facilities
Sensory rooms, special education and therapeutic programmes using Montessori materials.
Public procurement officers
Municipalities, ministries and central buyers running tenders for educational equipment.
What institutions get
Six things the retail flow doesn’t cover, because institutions have different needs.
Personal contact and advice
A real human as your point of contact for quotes, orders, lead times and after-sales, not a generic support inbox.
Procurement and grant documentation
Local Slovak invoicing and proper documents for easier procurement and accounting, including tender-ready paperwork.
Institutional pricing tiers
Transparent discounts based on order size, no hidden conditions. The bigger the order, the better the price.
Statutory warranty
The EU statutory warranty of two years on every item. We document it and honour it.
Consolidated logistics, one warehouse
One delivery, one tracking number, one set of documents, even when you order across several brands.
Multi-brand single invoice
Brands we carry (Nienhuis Montessori and more), all on one invoice with one delivery.
Multi-Class Program, full-scope project with a dedicated PM
Furnishing a new campus or rolling out Montessori across an entire age group? We run it as a project, not an order: scoped, phased, locked-in pricing and a single point of accountability.
2D/3D classroom layout
A scaled floor plan with every material in place, printed and digital handover.
Multi-year price lock
Catalogue prices fixed for the duration of the project (typically 18-36 months), no surprises in phase 2 or 3.
Dedicated project manager
One named PM from kick-off to final handover. Weekly status, single inbox, no ticket queues.
Phased delivery
Split the project into 2-4 delivery waves to match construction or term schedules. Invoiced per phase.
Institutional pricing tiers
Tiers are assigned per order, based on net order value. Numbers below match the calibrated pricing engine, what you see is what your quote returns.

Multi-Class (€50,000+) is the highest per-order tier, automatic 10 % discount, 2D/3D layout, 18-month price lock. The Multi-Class Program (€100,000+ or 5+ classrooms) is a separate engagement with a dedicated project manager, phased delivery, and a custom 10-15 % framework. Same name, two different products: the tier is automatic at the threshold; the Program is quote-only.
The tier threshold is measured on your whole order excluding shipping. The discount itself applies to Nienhuis core materials and furniture; books and third-party brands are bought in at margins that cannot carry it, so they are quoted at catalogue price. We do not offer reseller or wholesale terms, pricing is for institutions and end-use procurement only.
All institutional thresholds, discounts and quotes are denominated in euros (EUR) and invoiced in euros, regardless of the language version you are reading.
Institutional tier discounts do not stack with kit discounts (smart kits / classroom packages), the higher of the two applies. New-classroom package prices are set independently.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer wholesale or reseller terms?
No. Faborino is a registered EU retailer of Nienhuis Montessori and other brands, and under our distribution terms we do not grant sub-dealer or wholesale terms. Our institutional pricing is for end-use procurement by schools, kindergartens, training centres, therapy facilities and public buyers.
What are the payment terms for institutions?
Payment terms are agreed individually with each institution, based on order size and type. Smaller orders are typically NET 14 after delivery; for larger orders a partial deposit may be agreed. We confirm the exact terms with you before any binding order.
Do I need a VAT number to qualify for institutional pricing?
No. A registration number and proof of institutional status are enough. Most municipalities and kindergartens are not VAT registered, and that does not affect institutional pricing. A VAT number is optional: if you have one, put it in the form, we verify it via VIES and take it into account when invoicing.
What’s the difference between the discount tiers?
Tiers are assigned per order, based on net order value. Verified Institution (0 %) applies to any qualifying institution with no minimum and unlocks NET 14 invoicing. Volume Start (3 %) from €3,500 includes up to €80 of shipping. Volume Plus (6 %) from €7,500 includes free standard EU parcel shipping (items from 15 kg and pallets are quoted individually). Major Order (8 %) activates at €20,000 and adds a dedicated account manager. Multi-Class (10 %) activates at €50,000 and adds 2D/3D classroom layout plus 18-month price lock. €100,000+ projects move to the Multi-Class Program (quote-only, 10-15 %).
Can a Slovak municipality or school buy from you under public procurement?
Yes. The seller is STENVARD s.r.o., a Slovak company based in Prešov, and we provide the documents your procurement procedure needs.
How is the price calculated when I combine a classroom package with extra items?
The package price is fixed (it already contains its own kit discount). Any extra items added on top of the package are priced at standard catalogue with your institutional tier discount applied. Tier discounts do not stack with kit discounts, the higher of the two applies to each line.
What are the lead times for larger orders?
Stock catalogue items ship in about 2 to 3 weeks (1 to 2 weeks production plus about 3 days delivery to SK). Partially custom orders take 3 to 5 weeks; fully custom furniture 6 to 12 weeks. Multi-Class Program orders are delivered in phases (2-4 waves) agreed at project kick-off. Order so the equipment is in place before the September school-year start.
What does "free shipping" mean in the institutional tiers?
Free shipping covers standard EU parcel delivery. Volume Start covers up to €80 of shipping cost, anything above that is billed to the customer. Volume Plus (€7,500+) and above cover the full standard shipping fee, no cap. Express delivery, weekend delivery, or installation are quoted separately. Free shipping does not apply to items from 15 kg; oversized items and pallets are quoted individually.
Can I get a quote for a public tender?
Yes. Tender and procurement orders are handled separately by quote. We issue invoices and provide tender documentation support, and can discuss framework agreements. Use the inquiry form and select “Tender / procurement” in the order size field.
Which brands do you stock?
We stock a range of brands, including Nienhuis Montessori and more. All available on a single invoice with one delivery.
What warranty applies?
All orders carry the EU statutory warranty of two years, as it applies in your country. We document the terms in writing with your quote.
