Certifications
ISO 9001 Quality Certified
We are an ISO 9001-certified furniture company. This means Arc Grove meets and exceeds the international standard required for quality of management systems and what we make.
ISO 9001 acts as a global “stamp of approval” available only to committed and reputable organizations.
As a certified manufacturer, we’re required to regularly review and improve our processes. It’s a commitment that ensures we’re always reassessing how we do things and looking to improve them. The principle of always raising our standards suits our Arc Grove team very well and we’re proud of our compliance.
Relative to other uncertified producers of office furniture, it means a significantly reduced likelihood of defects, malfunctions, or premature wear.
ISO 14001 Environment Certified
We are an ISO 14001-certified furniture company. This means Arc Grove meets and exceeds globally recognized standards for environmental management systems.
Here’s what that means:
- Reduced environmental impact from our production—from material sourcing to transportation to end-of-life use.
- Greater resource efficiency of our furniture materials, energy in making the furniture, and natural resources such as water.
- Use of sustainable materials such as recycled, renewable, and low impact supplies.
- Avoidance of toxic chemicals that are prevalent in cheaper furniture materials that harm indoor air quality.
The higher quality of our materials and professional designs also supports a lifecycle perspective, as we make furniture that is durable, repairable, and recyclable. This reduces the immense waste so common to the office furniture market.
Packaging
Reinforced protective packaging.
It’s vital that your furniture arrive in the pristine state it was packed for you. That’s why we use a specialized “knock-down” packaging with reinforced carton board. That means a specifically designed container that fits your furniture and wastes little to no space — made from a tough corrugated fibreboard. This significantly minimizes the chance of any damages occurring while it’s on its way to you.

"Office for Life" Warranty
Furniture you can work with — for decades: Standing behind every piece with the assurance it deserves. Here’s what this warranty covers:
Lifetime Structural Warranty: We guarantee the structural integrity of every desk, table, cabinet, and shelf — for life. If a core component fails under normal use, we will repair or replace it.
10-Year Moving Parts Guarantee: Drawer tracks, hinges, slides, wheels — if it moves, it’s protected. We’ll fix or replace any component that wears down prematurely.
5-Year Surface Integrity: If your furniture’s surface cracks, warps, bubbles, or suffers abnormal wear in everyday use, we’ll make it right.
1-Year Total Care: For the first year, we offer complete coverage — including accidental damage. One year of peace of mind, no questions asked.
Transferable Protection: Our warranty stays with the furniture, not just the purchaser. If passed on, the coverage goes with it.
Sustainable Replacement Offer: Should a piece be beyond repair after a decade, we’ll reclaim and recycle it — and offer 15% toward a new Arc Grove design.
Assurance deserves clarity. The full warranty terms can be read here.

We hope that will be you too, and so we’re giving you the absolute best pricing available for this quality of furniture.
