TUFFY is the dealer-ready metal seating line from Trendler, built in Chicago since 1932. 2-3 week lead times, lifetime swivel warranty, and 1,000+ finish and fabric combinations your customers won't find from an importer.
E-commerce dealers carrying imported metal seating know the pain. Long lead times kill inventory flow. Generic SKUs make it impossible to stand out. Returns from wobbly, poorly-assembled stools eat into your margins and your reviews.
TUFFY was built to fix every one of those problems.
Every TUFFY product is engineered, built, and finished at our Chicago facility, so your inventory ships in weeks, not months. Here's what that means for your storefront.
Built in our Chicago facility, no overseas QC issues, no tariff exposure, no container delays.
Standard production in 2-3 weeks. Stock builds ship in 1-2 days. Restock fast, never miss demand.
Every Motion barstool is backed for life. The only lifetime swivel warranty in the category, period.
Industrial-grade fastening, 10× faster assembly, zero wobble, and dramatically fewer returns.
5+ frame finishes, 5+ upholstery fabrics, 6 back styles, multiple heights, built to your store's spec.
Volume tier wholesale that lets you price competitively against imports, without giving up margin.
