Slumberjack Announces Major Upgrades to Furniture Line

BOULDER, Colo. (August 6, 2008) – Slumberjack® – one of the world’s premier manufacturers of camping furniture and other outdoor gear – announces two major updates to its furniture line. First, the company is now offering a lifetime guarantee on all of its cots, chairs and tables. The Lab Tested, Field Approved program guarantees that furniture is free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the product. In addition to the lifetime guarantee, Slumberjack is also announcing that all of its cots and chairs will now be 100-percent free from PVC materials.

Lifetime Guarantee
For more than 50 years, Slumberjack’s camping furniture has been the standard for durability and performance in the outdoor category. The company uses an independent organization to rigorously test all of its cots, tables and chairs. Each product goes through a battery of tests to ensure it performs to expectations in the field.

“When it comes to testing our furniture, we pound it, pull it, stretch it and push it to the point of failure,” said Kristine Carey, director of marketing for Slumberjack. “When consumers buy one of our cots, tables or chairs, they can rest easy knowing that it will stand up to anything they encounter in the outdoors.”

PVC-Free Materials
In addition to the lifetime guarantee, Slumberjack has taken a leadership position in the category by removing all PVC materials from the construction of its furniture. PVC is a plastic material that many health organizations feel contains chemicals that can be hazardous to one’s health. As a result, Slumberjack has replaced all PVC with alternative plastic materials.

For more than half a century, Slumberjack has been a leading provider of outdoor sleep systems and camping furniture. The company’s product portfolio includes a full line of sleeping bags designed for a wide variety of outdoor activities. The company also offers sleeping bag liners, mats, bivies and camping furniture, including tables, cots and chairs.

Slumberjack is a division of American Recreation Products (ARP), St. Louis, which owns a variety of high-performance outdoor brands, including Kelty®, Sierra Designs® and Royal Robbins®.
