Consumers
Digest Best Buy Award: August Lotz, Inc., was awarded Consumers Digest
Best Buy Rating. Consumers Digest described August Lotz' products as "superbly
constructed premium futon frames." August Lotz received this award in the
Best Buy's premium category indicating that "the product is of superior
quality."
History: August Lotz Co., Inc. has been offering quality hardwood
products since 1897. Located in Osseo, WI the company turned futons into
real furniture. The idea was that there must be enough people who would
happily pay a little more for a significantly better product.
Patented Dovetailed Slats in Seperate Removable Sections: The August
Lotz patented dovetail construction is the stringest and most versatile
construction method used on any futon frame in the industry. Unlike other
point-loaded construction, August Lotz oak frames utilize their patented
dovetail frame construction that evenly distributes body weight over the
entire seating area. Broken slats and other frame components are modular
and easily replaced; however, it is incredibly unlikely that anyone would
ever need to replace a part on an August Lotz frame. The August Lotz return
rate is significantly less than 1%: the best in the industry.
Curved Back Rack: This makes the frame look more attractive than
typical square, boxy constructions.
Patented Front Loading: August Lotz frames close from the front rather
than the side. This makes them last longer and much easier to operate than
a typical futon frame. It also means that August Lotz frames can go in spaces
that a typical futon frame cannot. With a non-front loading frame it is
necessary to have access to the side of the frame to operate it. With a
front loaded frame, you never need to operate the frame from the side.
Oak: The wood August Lotz uses is oak. This oak grows in cold, northern climates and grows slower; the result is a stronger
tighter wood that can handle the rigors of constant use.
Limited Lifetime Warranty: All August Lotz Oak frames carry limited
lifetime warranty.
Larger Radius on Stretcher Rails: This is a small, but noteworthy
feature. August Lotz take more of an edge off of the stretcher rail where
it comes in contact with the sit stops. The purpose for this is to help
reduce the wear caused by the sit stops.
Precision Workmanship: The August Lotz attention to fine detail and
workmanship can be seen in the patented dovetail slats which distribute
weight evenly across the entire seating area. A curved back rack making
the frame appear more attractive than boxy construction. The recline feature
allowing reclining to any position. Replacable arm tops that are designed
to eliminates visible plugs and allow for easy repair or replacement. Limited
Lifetime Warranty on all August Lotz Oak Frames. August Lotz are experts
doing everything correct the first time. There is no need for unsightly
metal brackets or reinforcements because August Lotz furniture is made right
the first time.
