About Legare Furniture
Legare is a furniture design and manufacturing company that produces unique, easy to assemble furniture for the home and small office.

Started in late 1999 as an after-hours project and following three years of product design and development, a partnership was formed to optimize manufacturing and increase marketing efforts by combining the global sourcing and distribution expertise of Mike Markwardt with the sales and marketing leadership of Howard Klion and the design and engineering expertise of Brock Brandenburg.

Since its inception, Legare has continually improved and evolved its original desk design into the complete line of modular office furniture that it is today. And Legare LP is continuing that tradition, innovating and adding new designs to broaden its scope of solutions for the home and small office furniture market.

About Legare Furniture

INNOVATIVE FEATURES Legare furniture is packed with remarkable innovations that you simply won't find in other modular furniture. Patented tool-free assembly, incredibly strong locking tab/slot design, integrated cable routing and many other forward-thinking user features, are just a few of the innovations you'll find in every piece of Legare furniture.

FUN TO ASSEMBLETM There's no hardware. Yep, that's right. No screws. No bolts. Nothing. Unlike other so-called "ready-to-assemble" (RTA) furniture that's really "difficult-to-assemble," Legare furniture is truly Fun To Assemble TM. All Legare panels use a patented locking design, so there are no screw holes to line up, small hardware pieces to lose or complicated instruction steps to follow.

STURDY AND STRONG Don't be deceived by the ease of assembly. Each successive piece locks previous pieces into place so they won't come apart until you take them apart. And, the modular design allows you to lock multiple units together to form a single, rigid workspace. Legare units can be assembled and disassembled repeatedly without damage, unlike other RTA furniture. And our furniture is sturdy and strong. Did we already say that? Well, to prove our point, we performed quite an amazing test at Entela Labs. We managed to load an incredible 2000 pounds (one ton) of shot bags and weights on our Corner Desk with no structural damage!

DESIGNED FOR REAL USE Versatile Asymmetric design allows most all Legare desks, extenders & media towers to be reverse-configured for right hand or left hand installation. This is especially useful for doubling the life of a work surface. An unfortunate scratch or scrape is remedied by simply flipping the assembly for a completely new desktop. Adjustable shelving under the work surfaces. Route your cables through large 3 1/2" openings in the desktops, through the backs of all shelves and through vertical supports between all components. Short risers on the backs of work surfaces hide cables and desk clutter from view. Manufactured from durable 13-ply Baltic Birch plywood, Legare components are naturally beautiful and will provide many years of dependable use.

FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (FSC) CERTIFIED MATERIALS All Legare furniture is constructed of the finest natural plywood’s sourced only from FSC Certified mills. The use of plywood is important not only for strength, but also because if the efficient use of logs and minimal amounts of toxic adhesives used in its manufacture. The FSC Certification means that only legally harvested and forested lumber is used in production - no lumber from ecologically significant, socially valuable, specially protected or uncontrolled forests is allowed.
