Library renovations are a core part of our business. Why? Because every good library needs comfortable yet durable seating. What’s better than curling up with a good book in a comfortable chair? Furthermore, libraries are some of the highest use spaces. Chairs with durable joinery is a must. Most cheap wooden chairs are made with less durable joinery. However, those chairs tend to break after only a few years of use. We craft our chairs with steel rods and reinforce them with retrograde epoxy for added stability. In fact, we back our chairs containing Eustis Joints with a 20 year warranty against joint failure. Actually, in most cases, the hardwood will break before the joints do (decades down the line).
