“Absolutely love our college chair!   We looked everywhere to find a comfortable sized adult chair, this is by far the nicest we found. The chairs that they sell at the college book stores are very small, narrow and uncomfortable. These are so much better, roomier, and nicer!   Thank you again.”

“Working with Alumni Chair to customize my chair was a great experience. The company takes pride in its products and takes a personal approach to ensure you get exactly what you’re looking for in a chair. The chair I wanted required permission for the use of the logo, which Alumni Chair obtained and was diligent in accomplishing any follow-up needed to complete this task. The chair itself is high quality and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this company and their product.”
