Grand Rapids Chair Company
Opens New Table Plant

We're happy to announce the completion and opening of our new 28,000 sq. ft. table plant. This new woodworking facility was developed in response to an ongoing increase in table orders from you - our healthcare, education, hospitality, food service, corporate and government customers. The plant will enable us to dramatically expand both the volume and variety of our table offerings.


While more and more of our competitors are offshoring their manufacturing operations, we insist on building our tables and seating products right here in Grand Rapids, using the best mix of foreign and domestic parts. It gives us the ability to absolutely control material, construction, finish quality and lead times. It also plays to one of our greatest competitive strengths: the ability to create one-of-a-kind signature looks - just on a bigger scale.

Watch for a variety of new and enhanced table collections to come - applications for training, conferencing, touchdown stations, waiting rooms, lobbies and more. Let us know what you'd like to see or what special solutions you may need for your projects.

Looking for a beautiful leather with a green story? Grand Rapids Chair Company is grading-in leathers from Green Hides Leather Studio. Green Hides has created a new way to produce beautiful leathers in harmony with nature - helping them Green Hides Leatherearn environmental certification by the EFFC (Environmentally-Friendly Furniture Certification). Each of their hides is reclaimed from sustainable herds of beef cattle in Europe and New Zealand and their Italian tannery uses a proprietary low emission mineral tanning process that achieves spectacular results without PCPs or CFCs.


Green Hides offers a full range of contract leathers for corporate, hospitality and executive environments - from value-oriented selections to higher end luxury articles. While each collection in the Green Hides offering has a green story, their Ecolife™ collection represents the next-generation in eco-leather in that it is truly a "leave no trace" product.
