About Fort Pitt Hotel furniture liquidators
Fort Pitt Hotel Furniture Liquidators (www.fortpittfurniture.com) is a 32-year-old family-run business selling slightly used hotel furnishings from 4 and 5-star hotels from around the U.S. Fort Pitt was founded by Charles Zawitz in Pittsburgh, PA. The business moved to Chicago 25 years ago and resides in a huge 180,000 sq. ft. warehouse.
Today, Fort Pitt is one of the largest hotel furniture liquidators in the country and prides itself in acquiring furnishings from the finest hotels in the country. Recognizable hotels include the St. Regis Hotel, Trump International Hotel and Tower, Swisshotel and Drake Hotels in New York; Palmer House, W and Drake Hotels in Chicago, and the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston. Higher end hotels often tend to refurnish their rooms more often than other hotels, so their furnishings typically are higher quality as well as in good shape.
In addition to the higher end furniture, Fort Pitt also sells a variety of other tiers of hotel furniture. Fort Pitt's hotel furniture collection consists of armoires, beds, side tables, table and floor lamps and accessories. You can find a wide variety of styles and quantities of furniture. The company often has specials on entire rooms of furniture for a single price, but you should check often, as our turnover is rapid. Remember, you are buying furniture that is used - all items have some wear and tear as well as nicks and scratches.
