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).

Five years ago Harvard Business School opened The Spangler Center. The center featured an elegant Grillroom in the 1920’s style of the original HBS campus. The Windsor-style chairs selected for the facility did not hold up. In fact, the chairs were breaking at the joints and hardwood. Therefore, HBS decided to replace them with our Tall Edison chairs.

Our patented joinery makes the stacking option possible. To make our joints the strongest on the market, we use steel rods for stability and inject each with retrograde epoxy for reinforcement.
