With over 25 years in the fire service, FireStationFurniture.com owner and Mebane NC Fire Department Volunteer Assistant Chief Brandon Dunn knows the unique needs of a firehouse. "Furniture purchased for fire stations has to be so much more durable than residential furniture, or it simply won't last," he says. "I have seen firsthand how quickly average furniture can show wear and tear and even break down when it's being used 24/7 by multiple shifts."
For this reason, all of the furniture that we offer is hand-picked for use in the firehouse. The Duty-Built® Ultimate Firefighter Recliner®, for example, was designed and built for firehouse use from the ground up with a heavier gauge mechanism, a proprietary metal seat box, reinforced joints and commercial-grade synthetic leather fabric making it much more durable than other recliners on the market.
FireStationFurniture.com was also founded on the 20+ years of experience Brandon has in the furniture & mattress industry. "Because my 'day job' was in the furniture & mattress industry, I've gained such insight into how quality furniture and mattresses are constructed. From the raw materials used to the people making the furniture, I know how to identify furniture that is built better and will last longer."
This means that we regularly visit the manufacturing facilities that make our firehouse furniture, and insist on the highest quality every single time. Additionally, we are always evaluating new products that are available in the market, so we can bring innovative new furniture ideas to our firehouse customers. This is how we are able to offer so many different products to serve customers with a wide range of budgetary needs.
All of this experience means that we know how to ensure the quality of our firehouse furniture. We know how to insist on the highest quality standards when selecting our furniture manufacturers. We also know how to keep our overhead and operating costs low, so we can pass those savings along to those that are protecting and serving on the front lines.
We don't operate out of huge, fancy office buildings with thousands of square feet of warehouse space and dozens of workers. We ship your furniture directly from the manufacturer to your door, saving the cost of warehousing and transporting it twice before it makes it to you. These costs drive up the cost of furniture significantly at "traditional" furniture retailers.
We've worked with every type of fire station since opening our doors in 2015, from FDNY to the smallest of volunteer departments. From Hawaii to the North Pole, Miami to Maine, big or small, volunteer or career, we know how important it is for firehouse furniture to be comfortable and built to last, yet still look good. For firefighters, the firehouse is their home away from home. We know this personally and take pride in sourcing the most durable furniture, with most of our furniture made right here in the USA.
We make the quoting and ordering process easy and offer furniture to fit any budget. Whether it's a rebuild of an existing station, new firehouse construction or simply replacement of existing furniture, we can help.
