Tru180° represents a change in direction, a reversal of an action or condition. The name is inspired by the recycled material used to make our furniture. And Tru180° products offer a chance to change the direction of busy lives by relaxing with family and friends.

“A change in direction” also has a personal significance for us. Several years ago, Art chose to move away from his “corporate” job with a Fortune 100 financial company, and Damon chose to move on from his litigation career as a partner in a national law firm. We each embraced the opportunity to change direction in our careers, and we’re eternally grateful to our families and friends for the support!

In the early days, we focused on product design and development to create high quality, comfortable, and beautiful outdoor furnishings. Once the initial Adirondacks, gliders, tables, and chairs were complete, we concentrated on hand-crafting enough furniture in an efficient manner to serve the ever-growing demand. We continue to embrace change, seek improvement, and learn from everyone we meet.

Tru180° is founded on the principle that our customers, partners, employees, and friends are important to us, and we want to be important to them. Thank you for embracing the new directions that life brings every day!
