Our goal is to set the standard in quality and in design for the western and lodge furniture market. Normally our furniture tends to be classically styled frame designs upholstered with a combination of the rich, enduring colors of oiled or wax finish leathers, embossed leathers, and "hair-on" hides. The Great Blue Heron proudly manufactures all of our upholstered furniture right here in Texas. The Great Blue Heron Company truly offers the highest quality furniture in the industry. Our frames are built exclusively of kiln dried Oak. Many companies use softer woods like Pine or Cedar for cost savings, and some companies advertise "hard wood" frames which generally refers to Poplar. None of these woods have the rigidity or performance of our solid Oak frames. You will have no issues with cracking, splitting, or shrinking frames, problems that many times plague furniture pieces with frames of lesser woods. Most of our pieces are built using No-Sag Springs; this type of spring allows customization of frame sizes and performs better than the drop-in units made overseas. There are several types of cushion materials we use depending on preference and piece, please contact us for specifics. The Great Blue Heron Company sources leathers and hides from all over the world and we go to great lengths to procure only the highest quality leathers. All of our leathers are full grain, and all of our hair on hides are tanned in Brazil at a tannery that is widely recognized as the best tannery of its type in the world. The Great Blue Heron strives to build furniture that will last for years to come. Please do not rush into any decisions about your furniture, and if you have any questions that are not addressed here or on the website, just give us a call at 866-247-9688.
