The Restoration Process… • Begins with careful planning and on-site assessment. • Chairs are removed from the site and carefully shipped to our 500,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan. • Metal components are stripped clean, prepared, and powder coated for a new, durable finish. • Worn, damaged or broken parts are repaired or replaced. • New poly foam is added prior to upholstery. • Cushions and backs are custom fitted with tailored covers. • Stained wood parts are stripped, sanded, and refinished with a clear, hard lacquer.
• Seat lifting mechanisms are repaired or replaced. • Seat numbers, row letters, and donor plates can be supplied, according to specifications. • Aisle lighting can be repaired or added, as required. • New assembly hardware is used on chair components. • Chairs are carefully returned to your auditorium and installed in strict accordance with your schedule.

Why Restore Your Old Chairs?
When the time

Additionally, costs for removal and disposal of existing chairs are eliminated. • Removing chairs from the auditorium, restoring them, and placing them back over the existing anchors rather than reconfiguring the auditorium space saves money. • Restoring the chairs in your auditorium is also a great way to practice environmental stewardship ~ it’s the ultimate recycling opportunity. Why send outdated auditorium chairs to a landfill when they can be restored to their original glamour?
