Solid, Stylish, and Comfortable

All in all, crate style furniture offers the durability, design and flexibility that makes group living and dormitory housing buyers flush with satisfaction.

Crate style lounge seating will follow the same trends as the rest of the contract furniture industry and will boast both natural and dark wood tones set off by bright, bold fabrics.

  • Classic Navy combined with greens.
  • Turquoise is still going strong, but brighter.
