The Australasian Furnishing Research and Development Institute is an independent not-for-profit technical organisation providing standards, testing, product certification and research for buyers and sellers of furniture.  The purpose of testing and certification is to ensure that products are not only safe, but that they will last, thus contributing to sustainability, and minimizing use of the earth's resources.

Our dedication to product quality, strength and durability is best demonstrated by our achievement of being the only banquet chair manufacturer to offer 10 stacking, metal framed banquet chairs that have passed the stringent testing standards of AFRDI to be certified at Level 6 - Severe Commercial Use.  Durability is the cornerstone of our design process and remains our first priority to ensure you can invest with confidence in your new furniture.
