| Quality
and craftsmanship Since 1907. |
Let’s face
it. You can buy bookcases from anywhere (Indonesia,
China, Slovenia come to mind) at places like
Staples®. Home Depot®or Walmart®.
If what you want is just somewhere to get
your books off the floor, we recommend you
go there – or get out the bricks and
boards. If you want something a little special
for your special books and/or rooms, then
consider Hale’s bookcases.
Hale Manufacturing
is our only supplier and we are proud of
our relationship because American-made quality
still matters to us. Hale builds only bookcases
and has been doing so uninterrupted since
1907. They employ 64 local people, use 77,000
sq. feet of factory and storage space, operate
their own drying kilns and buy only quality
renewable hardwood lumber cut from the 6
million acres in New York’s Adirondack
Mountains. And best of all, Hale is family
owned and operated by third generation management.
Their mission is to produce quality wood
products at a fair price while providing
a fair commitment to the customer and stable
employment to the local work force many
of whom have worked there for generations.
They pride themselves on being a Total Quality
Management company and anyone is invited
to talk to any member of the staff at any
time from the President to any craftsperson.
Their toll free number is (800)USE-HALE
and their bookcases are guaranteed against
any defects in materials or workmanship
for up to five years.
Hale is one of
the country’s leading institutional
suppliers and does not sell directly to
the public. BookHut's unique, low overhead
direct-marketing approach gives you access
to the same quality bookshelves used by
some of the nation’s leading institutions,
at substantial savings. For example, the
Federal Reserve Bank and Alan Greenspan’s
office has Hale bookcases. So do the offices
of U.S. Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas, the
Colorado Bar Association, the Massachusetts
Court of Appeals, not to mention dozens
of universities and secondary schools such
as Yale, George Washington, Holy Cross,
and Villanova to name just a few.
Hale bookcases
use oak, basswood, butternut,
birch, and walnut and only
genuine hardwood veneers where specified.
Differing lines of bookcases use different
combinations of hardwoods – from solid
hardwoods and birch plywood in the 300,
3000, and 754 series to hardwood frames
in the 48 series to veneered planks in the
200, 500, and 1100 series. Please see the
catalog pages for construction specifications
for the bookcases that interest you.
