Customer Testimonial
"Fire Station Furniture is exactly what it says—furniture for fire stations. We all know a fire station around us where the recliner’s back is hanging off, or one side is broken. That’s most fire stations in America. When we decided to replace our recliners, we needed 10 of them, so it wasn’t a small purchase. We wanted the best our money could buy, and we found that with Fire Station Furniture. We shopped around, even went to our local furniture store, but Fire Station Furniture came out on top. Not only did they match the competitor’s price, they beat it. And they actually care about firefighters. The other company wouldn’t even offer a warranty because we’re considered commercial, but FireStationFurniture.com gave us the best warranty we could receive. Even the competitor was shocked! This company not only beat the price but gave us peace of mind. That’s why we should support FireStationFurniture.com and take care of the companies that take care of us." — Tyger River Fire Rescue
