“The small museums need you!”
How Gilboa Museum fell in love with Pareti Mobile Walls – then sent us cookies.
While the gourmet cookies are long gone (but fondly remembered) we still have this lovely note and group selfie before we promptly ate everything in the gift basket. Yum! And also, so rewarding as builders.
In our very beginnings, we were a 3-person team (with an additional willing helper now and then). Striking out in a borrowed garage, we soon moved to our first location – which is when we were contacted by Lee at Giboa Museum.
Lee just contacted us – over 10 years after purchasing Giboa Museum’s set – to ask about how to modify and connect the walls to existing permanent walls. The original walls are still in constant use.
As said in one of our videos, building our rpoducts is personal – perhaps because everything is handmade. This is why we enjoy testimoials and stories about how our products are used. These help our future customers understand our products, but they also make us incredibly proud. Just like artwork, it makes your day / week / year when you know people love your products!
The background story
In April 2016 The Gilboa Museum in the Caskills Mountains in New York found us. The museum needed a way to work with their existing building. Our portable walls helped them to create a floor plan without affecting existing, permanent walls. The Gilboa Museum also used our “KTK” connection system, which attaches directly to an existing wall, and leaves only a few, easy to patch screw holes when removed.
Pareti’s KTK walls offer a very stable and easy to use method to build onto existing permanent walls. Once the KTK wall panel is installed, you simply add on with our regular panels (although some configurations may still need additional walls for counterbalance – be sure to contact us and we can make suggestions based on our installation experience.)
A humble group who is particular about finishes
We’re a picky group here, admittedly. From marketing to sales to fabrication, finishing, and shipping, we’re persnickety, anxious, and aim to please.
When your walls arrive, they’ve been handled by several picky people, including the final packing with white gloves. Each person takes immense pride in what they do, and everyone here has that attitude (which is probably why everyone gets along so well.
We’re happy when you’re happy.
Pareti was honored to be included on Gilboa’s list of supporters with this beautiful plaque at the Gilboa Museum, located in Gilboa, New York.
