Manufacturing

Translating your concept into physical product—exactly as it has been designed—relies upon the strength of reliable manufacturing. Once your product needs and specifications are determined, standard or custom, we will select the ideal factory and engineer prototypes, provide pre-production samples for your review, and produce your approved product the way you want it. It remains our frequent practice to visit with our vetted manufacturing sites to continue to grow our over two decade relationship.

Not everyone is familiar with the term “contract furniture.” Many are not sure what it means. When purchasing furniture for any venue, one should remember that there is a difference between commercial-grade furniture and residential furniture. Contract furniture is used for commercial purposes. It is often used in restaurants, hospitality, educational institutions, and other venues. This includes all types of furniture from chairs, tables, bar stools, booths, and lounge seating. It must be made of high-quality materials and can be found in any commercial setting where there is intense interaction with many people, as opposed to residential/home furniture, which is only used by a small number of people.

Metal chairs and bar stools for residential use have steel frames constructed of 20-to-22-gauge steel, while commercial ones feature 18-gauge steel frames (the smaller the gauge, the tougher the frame is).
Residential wood bar stools and chairs can be made from hard or softwood. Contract wood chairs and bar stools are hardwood and include additional reinforcement bars.
Both wood and metal contract items have strong seats that are either made of durable wood or are padded with thick flame-retardant foam upholstered in stain-resistant vinyl and fabrics, which are easy to maintain.
Our commercial grade wood frames come with a 7-stage finishing process giving the wood a thicker, more resistant finish. Metal frames are powder coated and undergo unique processes to ensure the finish is more scratch resistant.
Warranty: Wood residential furniture usually comes with a 30–90 day warranty, while our commercial warranty lasts 5 full years.
Weight capacity: residential up to 250 lbs. while our contract grade holds 500 lbs., standard and bar stools are 400 lbs.
