Testimonials
We delight in working closely with our customers.
“Catalyst has been our partner from day one. They actively helped us hone in on the design of various front-of-house and back-of-house spaces throughout the Arena that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional for all our guests. Their team makes us feel like the client and has been a huge asset to this project with regards to our various FF&E needs – most importantly, they do what they say they will do, on time and on specification.”

Climate Pledge Arena
“The team was really fantastic. Very knowledgeable. Provided ample recommendations and resources. They are also incredibly timely and responded to all inquiries/questions promptly. The team did a great job maximizing workstation space with the limited size of the office. Listened effectively to client's needs and requests while fulfilling those needs and giving great recommendations. The install team was fantastic and worked in a few minor layout request changes with ease and professionalism. Great products! More importantly, great customer service with knowledgeable, timely suggestions, responses, and execution.”
“Compared to other potential vendors I was working with, Catalyst Workplace Activation was extremely attentive and offered far more insight and options than the others. My decision was made for two reasons: which company paid more attention and was more eager to win my business, and which company offered the best product (both in look and function). Thank you for everything!”
“Working with Catalyst was great. We had an awesome team that was very thorough and knowledgeable about the products, kept us within budget, and delivered the furniture on time.”

“The team that I have been working with for the last 4+ years is amazing! When I have to do a build-out, and we have done many, my last worry is the furniture portion of things. They love the work they do and it shows! Our designer always communicates well and tries to get everything we need into all our spaces comfortably and it always looks amazing! Our account coordinator is a superstar! He is consistent, communicates well and always keeps me updated. I feel fortunate to work with such a wonderful and highly qualified company as Catalyst. Everyone is always so pleasant and ready to help from the designers to the install crew and everyone in between.”
“Catalyst volunteered employees and a truck to move our gear for our fund-raising event and it was done with the same care and consideration a company would give to its highest-paying customer.

Five stars for this team!!!”
“The ordering process was easy, and the project manager was very thorough in double checking our order quantities, layouts and forming an installation plan. They did a great job adjusting our scheduling to accommodate delays in the construction schedule. Our lead installer worked with me on two of my projects this summer, he is an incredible asset to your team, and I cannot say enough about how thorough and helpful he was on all of the work he did this summer. He arrives on time and stays as late as needed to get the job done. He is also extremely organized and knowledgeable about the products he is installing. He completed the work ahead of schedule, made sure everything was right, adjusted well to changing timelines and safety regulations, and was always professional, even going above and beyond to assist teachers and with adjustments once they arrived on site. I appreciate their attention to detail and timeliness.”
“At every turn, Catalyst has continued to prove responsive, and customer-minded focused on designing and delivering a great experience and set of products. I’d like to specifically call out the full Catalyst team for superbly navigating a confusing and layered order process. As we worked to bring all the orders together, the Catalyst team did an excellent job of communicating and tying the various orders together. We sincerely appreciated the extra effort to make the project run smoothly!”

I did not have a lot of interaction with the crew, but when I did, our Install Lead was professional and took care of lateral file revisions on site. The whole team did an excellent job.”

“Catalyst's customer service is a model for how to treat customers.
When you hear companies say "customer first" they can often be very
good or great but Catalyst takes everything to the highest level.”
“The in-person experience during Covid was excellent. I felt safe, was told all the chairs were cleaned prior, and I had ample time to make a decision. I know your company pivoted to doing more individual sales instead of big office deals, so I recognize and greatly appreciate the extra effort and attention paid to just a single chair order. I felt like my order was important to you. Thanks again! I'll be recommending you to anyone who needs a chair!”
“Sales - Always friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt! Customer Service is always polite, helpful, and resolves any issues quickly. Installers - On time or early & great about letting us know when they’ll be here. Efficient, friendly, and cleanup is thorough.”
Seattle School District
“Loved working with Catalyst - their communication was incredible, and one of their reps took the extra mile to drive out for a visit. He even was able to help us look into other areas of need that we had, and gave valuable input. Their installation process was great, and each team member that I spoke to was very friendly. Would most definitely do business with them.”
Timberlake Church
“Everyone I've worked with, most notably Katie Kalina and Daniel Jonson have been amazing during both of my recent orders. Also allowing me to test one of the chairs for a few days was the most helpful aspect. It gave me 100% confidence I was going to be completely satisfied with my new office chair. Great place to do business with.”
“Working with [the Catalyst Team] was WONDERFUL. I always know if I call, someone is going to pick up or call me back right away! Great Team!!”
National Telecommunications Company
“If there were a category higher than "excellent," I would have chosen it... Your customer service was fantastic - the associate who worked with me even helped me find the accessory that I needed and set up everything for me to order and pay for it separately (that particular piece wasn't offered by my employer, and I didn't know how to figure out what I needed, or where to look for it). And the monitor arm even arrived a week earlier than expected!”
“Their ability to meet and go above beyond to meet our expectations. There is nothing more they could have done differently to make this job run smoothly. Special thanks to Conner, Robbie, and Alyssa for making this experience consistent with those of the past. Always a pleasure to work with you all.”
“The entire team from Conner, Alyssa, Robbie, and Mara have been very responsive. Great attention to detail. [The entire team] has done a terrific job supporting us. Great crew managed by Jose whom we found to be very knowledgeable and personable during the entire process.”
“This was a big project and I appreciated Catalyst’s consistent presence as a member of the project team. The final product looks great in the space.”
“The communication has been great and working with the PMs. They are very knowledgeable and willing to help and go above and beyond when needed.”
“Catalyst Team is great to work with. Would recommend for future projects.”
“We had some unexpected construction delays that prevented installation being done as expected, the Catalyst team was very understanding and supportive and ensured that they stayed on top of communication over the time of the delay and worked with us once construction was completed. I appreciate never feeling rushed or pressured to have the install completed due to these unexpected delays.”
“Ryan Buchanan and crew have been working together and know what needs to be done. [The team was] timely and professional. I would enjoy having them on-site again and welcome another job to install the MAARS wall system.”
“Ryan Buchanan and his crew took the extra site walk to measure the new drywall to ensure the future fit of the full height wall starts and panels. Even though the GC had nailed the drywall dimensions to a T, it was an extra step on Catalyst's part to ensure the quality and success of the project. Much appreciated on my end!”
Global Online Retailer
“100% GREAT experience. When I had no other way to get a product fixed, this team was helpful, got me EXACTLY what I wanted, and did it at a fair price -- quickly! HUGE kudos to the group and I will definitely advocate for the company going forward. [The team] was exceptional at finding the right parts, creating an easy way to get them, and responding to all questions. EXCELLENT support. ”

MultiCare
“Great people, high-quality super-functional products. The overall experience was great. Conner was amazing to work with and so responsive and quick to answer all of my questions. I do think that the design and installation fees are quite high, especially for a small project such as ours. However, I'm so pleased with the final product that I have no regrets and feel it was worth it!”
Charles Wright Academy
“Appreciate Catalyst taking a relatively small project and still giving it the attention and detail it needs”
Local Telecommunications Company

“Brandy Haskins and Pam Sproul made sure we get what we expected, and when there are issues, they made sure it was taken care of right away. Great job Brandy and Pam in working with us to get this project completed from design changes to furniture replacements and additional orders!”
