Ballston Spa-based Boylegroup represents manufacturers in the commercial furniture industry, serving the Capital Region, Central, and Western New York. The company acts as a link between furniture manufacturers, commercial furniture dealers, and end-user customers. Their diverse customer base includes universities, businesses, and hospitals.
Among the manufacturers represented by Boylegroup are OFS, a manufacturer of office furniture; Carolina, a manufacturer of furniture for healthcare applications; and Vondom, a manufacturer of outdoor furniture.
“We have furniture dealers throughout the state, and we act as the middle man between the dealer and the manufacturer. We are the local arm for the manufacturer,” said Boylegroup Account Manager Jill Jones. “We help customers with anything that they need help with when placing their order for the furniture. We show them samples of our products and give them quotes and pricing along with drawings and layouts. And, if they have a warranty claim, we would help them with that.”
According to Jones, Boylegroup works extensively with architects and designers throughout the state. “We have a designer on staff, and they contact her when they are working on a project and want to use our furniture within their project. They would send the layouts to her and then she works with them to choose products to fit the space and the design.”
Boylegroup’s designer, Natali Cobb, also works with individual clients, assisting with space planning, material and finish selection, and furniture specification and design.
“We have dealers throughout the state. These dealers manage the ordering, delivery, installation, and after-sales service of the furniture. We work closely with them, providing product expertise, training, and support to ensure they can effectively present the manufacturer’s offerings to the end-users,” said Jones.
Local dealers include Charlie’s Office Furniture in Queensbury, SCI Furniture in Albany, and Accent Commercial Furniture in Colonie.
Boylegroup has worked on many projects in the Capital Region including at Albany Medical Center, Saratoga Hospital, Glens Falls Hospital, and SUNY Albany.
