Total LifeStyle.
TLS stands for Total LifeStyle. Founded in 2004 and now a nationally certified small woman-owned business, TLS builds for hospitality, multifamily and mixed use, senior living, government, higher education, and commercial and residential design. We can make one piece or produce in high volume, with a focus on made in the USA.
Our 53,000-square-foot factory is a repurposed, formerly abandoned automotive components plant. It’s well lit and climate controlled year-round. Unlike most furniture makers, we don’t pay piece rates. Our team earns a living wage with benefits, which encourages quality work.
US-made upholstery and casegoods ship in 8–12 weeks.
Our private-label program produces clients’ exclusive designs, including custom and standard-line banquettes for some of the leading upholstery resources in the country, labeled and drop-shipped under their brand. We’ve produced over 2,000 different frames. No one is better at public space furniture.
