Flexsteel: A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Innovation
Flexsteel Industries, Inc. represents a cornerstone of American furniture manufacturing, tracing its origins back to the Rolph & Ball Furniture Company founded in 1893 in Minneapolis. The company’s trajectory changed significantly in 1901 when it was purchased by the McCloud family, eventually becoming the Sanitas Spring and Seat Company. The brand's identity was forever solidified in 1927 with the acquisition of a unique patent for a flexible steel spring, leading to the adoption of the "Flexsteel" name. This innovation revolutionized upholstered furniture by replacing traditional webbing and coil systems with a more durable, resilient alternative.
The hallmark of Flexsteel’s superiority is the Blue Steel Spring™ technology, a patented all-riveted high-carbon steel system that has remained virtually unchanged for nearly a century. Unlike standard sinuous springs, this "Blue Ribbon" design provides lifetime tension and prevents the sagging common in mass-produced seating. Each piece is constructed using precision-engineered frames, often utilizing kiln-dried hardwoods and furniture-grade laminates to ensure structural integrity. This commitment to quality control is backed by industry-leading warranties, including lifetime coverage on the internal spring system, frames, and reclining mechanisms.
As a premier Flexsteel Gallery in Southern California for 30 years, our Murrieta location offers an extensive range of customizable options.

This dedication to "The Flexsteel Way" ensures that every piece of furniture is not just a purchase, but a long-term investment in comfort and American craftsmanship.
