The phrase, “Do me a solid” has been around for a while. The Kramer character utters it in a 1991 episode of the Seinfeld sitcom, but apparently the phrase dates to nearly twenty years earlier among musicians. It can be translated, of course, to “Do me a favor.” And that’s exactly what University Loft student furniture does for colleges, universities and students by using solid wood in our student housing and dorm room furniture.
Why is using solid wood so important? Three reasons:
Solid wood student furniture from University Loft is strong
How strong is the Hevea Brasiliensis wood that University Loft uses in its dorm room furniture? Stronger than Northern Red Oak, as shown by independent testing at Federal Testing Laboratories. In fact, a 3-drawer student chest endured more than 200 cycles of pressure at 350 pounds while a national competitor’s comparable product made from Northern Red Oak could not withstand even a single cycle of pressure application above 300 pounds. Not content with those numbers, ULoft has proven that our solid wood student bunk bed can support 4 tons of pressure!
Solid wood ULoft college furniture is durable
While furniture made by ULoft competitors might wear down more quickly under normal student use in the dorm room, University Loft college furniture stands up to the demands of student residence life year after year.
Solid wood dorm room furniture from University Loft looks like oak
Solid wood University Loft furniture for college has a timeless oak-like appearance. That’s why university furniture buyers can place ULoft furniture in their residence hall rooms and student apartments confident that it will continue to look great even as it outlasts individual student collegiate careers.
So do yourself a favor and check out the student furniture solutions from University Loft. We’ll do you a “solid” every time.
