In the world of commercial furniture, a legacy isn’t built overnight. It’s earned through decades of craftsmanship, reliability, and trusted relationships. That’s the story of JH Carr & Sons – a name that has been synonymous with high-quality custom furniture in the Pacific Northwest since 1938. And it’s a legacy we’re proud to carry forward as part of QA Group.
In October 2019, QA Group acquired JH Carr & Sons with a clear purpose: to bring one of the most respected names in restaurant booth seating into our family of services. JH Carr had spent decades perfecting the art and function of booth manufacturing – earning a reputation for designing and building seating that balances comfort, durability, and visual appeal in high-traffic dining environments. Bringing that specialty under the QA Group banner has proven invaluable, allowing us to offer what we believe is some of the finest booth seating available in the market today.
This integration wasn’t just about products, though, it was about people and purpose. Many of the loyal craftsmen and team members who helped build JH Carr’s reputation are still part of our team. Operating from our Kent, Washington headquarters facility, they continue to apply their expertise daily, now with access to QA Group’s expanded capabilities and national platform. The result is a seamless blend of long-standing craftsmanship and modern production support.
JH Carr has long been known for custom-built booths, banquettes, barstools, chairs, and tabletops tailored to the specific needs of restaurants, hotels, casinos, and corporate interiors. That tradition of customization lives on at QA Group. Clients still benefit from a wide range of material options, stain and vinyl finish selections, and made-to-order solutions that are designed and upholstered in-house.
We also provide reupholstery and repair services for existing pieces through our sister company Queen Anne Upholstery, whether originally built by JH Carr, QA Group, or another manufacturer.
Since the acquisition six years ago, our ability to provide high-quality restaurant booths has only grown. We’ve combined JH Carr’s decades of booth-building expertise with QA Group’s broad infrastructure, design support, and installation capabilities to serve clients across the country. From neighborhood bistros to national hospitality brands, we’re proud to deliver seating that meets the highest standards of design, function, and longevity.
If you’ve been looking for JH Carr & Sons, you’ve come to the right place. The legacy continues here. Still based in Kent, still rooted in craftsmanship, and now supported by the strength and scale of a national operation.
Whether you’re planning a renovation or designing a new space from the ground up, QA Group is ready to partner with you. We bring more than manufacturing… we bring experience, precision, and a shared commitment to building spaces that last!
