Where did the idea for Gear Up come from?
From the owner:
“At the time my (now) husband was working as a police officer for the City of Greenville in South Carolina. One day when he was getting ready for work and I noticed that he was walking back and forth collecting all of the gear that he had to wear for his shift. I noticed that he kept his police gear all over his dining room. His shirt and pants were hanging on hangers over a door, his Kevlar vest was hanging over a chair, his radio was plugged in on the floor in the corner, he kept his extra shotgun shells, knife, wallet and keys in a basket on a desk…everything he needed was spread all over. I decided that I would buy him something to keep his gear all together – but found there was nothing I could buy. So, I designed the Gear UP. My uncle and I built the first one as a birthday present for my husband. I brought it home and couldn’t wait for his birthday I was so excited. I gave it to him that day and he has literally been using it every day since. I applied and received a United States Patent for the Uniform Post several years ago.
I know that like me – many wives will like the Gear Up as much as their husbands! (or husbands as much as their wives) All that clutter is cleaned up and out of the way. The clutter is transformed into a functional, beautiful addition to the home!”
About the product
Craftsmanship
Our product is Made In The USA. The wood is bought from the USA and the product is manufactured and finished in the USA. We could manufacture outside the USA and save money but we want quality. From the beginning we wanted to provide a quality – American Made product – and we have. When many companies have chosen to go outside the USA – we are thankful and proud to say that we are giving American companies jobs and we are benefiting from American products and craftsmanship.
Our home base is located in Greenville, SC. We are producing the Gear Up out of Savanna, GA.
The Gear Up is made out of solid Ash. Ash is known to be durable, strong and it accepts a stain beautifully. It is a perfect wood for furniture.
We offer the Gear Up in several stains (black, brown, grey, clear poly coat, and unfinished) – but we are flexible with special orders. For an additional fee and an extended wait time we would be happy to customize the Gear Up to the color of your choice.
As with any furniture made out of solid wood and stained in this fashion, the natural wood grain shows through the stain. Because of this there may be slight variations is the coloring and wood grain from piece to piece – which is normal when dealing with wood accepting a stain in varying degrees depending on that particular cut of wood. We believe this brings a beauty to our piece. When all of the pieces are assembled the distinctions are negligible and the piece looks unified.
The assembly of the Gear Up is very user friendly. It is put together with threaded inserts and button head cap screws. Not only does this make it easy to put together – it makes it easy to take apart. This is not an item that comes assembled with wood screws or the like which if you had to take apart would loose structural integrity and possibly strip the connections. If you are moving or transporting the Gear Up all you have to do is get any standard allen head tool and disassemble, transport, then re-assemble on the other end. It will assemble the same every time. No wear and tear at the connections.
The Gear Up is so strong and it will stay together – being used every day for many years. This piece is meant to last!
