People Friendly Places - About the company

Why People Friendly Places ....

Since our inception in 1990, we have offered the finest commercial quality play items and children's furniture to businesses who want to create a child-friendly public area. Our products do not contain lead paint or hazardous materials and pass European and North American safety requirements for children. EN71, ASTM, Certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ICTI.
The individuals who started People Friendly Places, Inc. have professional backgrounds in elementary school teaching, graphic design, product engineering and manufacturing, and all are parents. Some of us have children who have spent a lot of time in or around medical facilities.

Our expertise gives us an advantage over all other companies making or selling "commercial quality" children's play products. At PFP we study and understand what appeals to children and how they will use it. The benefit is that a PFP game is meaningful, enjoyed by both genders, and will appeal to a diverse age range. It won't frustrate a child or go unused. No child will feel left out. And on top of all the benefits to children, a PFP waiting room toy looks better and lasts longer. Clients tell us PFP quality outlasts others by 40%-300%.

Compare: PFP makes 90% of our products in the U.S.A., and a few products are outsourced to meet our high standards. Other companies say they sell children's waiting room products from U.S. companies--without telling you that everything is imported from China. It's obvious when you see the same products on 100 web sites, all sold for very low prices, free shipping, and no warranties.

We are focused on helping the environment. PFP uses natural elements like real wood, organic shapes, and symbols of nature to soften a built environment and create a custom handmade look that takes a setting to a higher level. We also offer the choice of green core materials for many of our products, useful when LEED certification is required.

If you call PFP with questions, we will provide friendly, professional answers and then we will mind our manners by not calling frequently to ask about your project. When you need us, you'll let us know. We respect your privacy and don't sell our mailing list.
