Recommendation for Fortner

To whom it may concern:

It is an absolute pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Fortner. Founded over 90 years ago, Fortner is a family business that builds commercial-grade custom furniture for clients across the country.

Fortner got its start reupholstering existing furniture, which it still does today, but it also creates a range of beautiful custom pieces, such as built-in banquettes, couches, headboards, ottomans, tables, and more. All projects are hand-finished in Fortner’s Columbus, Ohio workshop.

The team at Fortner is highly knowledgeable and experienced, having been in the industry for decades. These are exactly the kind of people you want helping you with your project to ensure it is completed to your complete satisfaction. They will guide you right through the process, from ideation to installation.

Fortner also places a strong emphasis on the importance of sustainability. It uses materials that are not only safe for you and your family, but also the planet. This includes responsibly harvested wood, recycled metal springs, low VOC paint, water-based adhesives, and natural yarns.

Whether you need existing furniture reupholstered or custom furniture built, I recommend Fortner with the utmost confidence! With the experienced team at Fortner, you can count on quality work that will last a lifetime.

Sincerely,

Jim Lichtenberg
