Everything You Need To Know About Regency Furniture & Why It Matters

Since 1940, Regency has crafted stylish furniture for both the home and the office. Regency is family-owned and has grown from the small office products store Scott and Norma Summerville started in 1940, to the manufacturer of high quality business furniture that it is today. Through their growth, Regency  has stuck to its roots of providing customers with the personalized and unique service they would find at a single location furniture store while continually growing their product line to compete on a national scale. 

Still lead by John Summerville (son of Scott & Norma), Regency is considered a reliable leader in the Ohio area and as they continue to grow their brand, their furniture selection becomes more expansive and elegant. Before we share with you some of our favorite Regency furniture pieces, here is why getting to know Regency is important…they give back to the community. It starts at the top with VP & CFO Aaron Summerville is the founder of the SABOT Support Our Troops Program. Along with Aaron, many of Regency’s employees spend much of their free time giving back to the community. For example, the team donated furniture Lebron James’ Family Foundation I-Promise School which is based in Regency’s home of Akron, Ohio. Without further ado, let us take a look at some pieces of Regency furniture that we love.

Regency Chairs:

A chair made by Regency truly embodies the term “Regency”. The style of furniture known as, “regency”, (not the brand in this case) embraces the period between the 1790s to the 1830s. The Regency period of time is technically 1811-1820 during the time the Prince of Wales acted as regent during his father’s insanity. The wood used during the Regency period was primarily mahogany so you will see a lot of mahogany in pieces crafted by Regency. 

Regency Sofas:

Like the rest of Regency’s line, the Regency sofa is designed to be a timeless classic. Regency sofas are lightweight and durable making them a great addition to the home of the office. When Regency designs a sofa, they think in terms of simplicity and ease of use. That is why all Regency sofas are easy to clean and easy to move.

Regency has many styles of desks but their premier desk is designed specifically for the reception area of your office. You will find that the features of the Regency desk are thoughtful in terms of space utilization.

As an office expands, the need for conference tables becomes prevalent. Regency conference tables are classic, sturdy, and beautifully designed. With multiple size options, a Regency conference table is sure to be the perfect fit for your office.
