One of the products Nikita sells is Made in the USA Chairs. A more complete list of their products is provided by Made in America Secrets, to review their list click here.
For more information about Nikita and its American Made products see the following:
Just Lean Back was for many years called Nikita Convertibles and was founded by Nikita Grigoriev, who designed the first patented futon convertible sofabed in 1982. The patent (US # 4,538,308) was granted on Sept 3, 1985 and it established a new product category in the US patent office.
Nikita Grigoriev was an aeronautical engineer and an airline pilot. He quit the airline and began making Convertible Furnishings in 1983. Two years later, Nikita purchased an old building in Richfield Springs, NY and assembled a crew of three production workers and one sales representative.
The early convertibles were rather elaborate contraptions with wheels and springs and storage boxes and even self stowing headboards. They were made of solid maple and cherry and were beautifully finished. They sold for about $900 retail.
As product recognition and demand for futon convertibles grew, Nikita opened a second store in 1987 in Oneonta, NY under the name of Simple Design. Based on market feedback and accumulated design insight, that year Nikita completely redesigned the convertible sofabed frame. The new generation convertibles were then known as G - 2, for Grigoriev second generation convertibles.
The new futon convertibles were revolutionary in that they were much simpler, lighter, had sloping seats that automatically leveled for bed position, shipped in compact boxes and, most importantly, sold for half the price of the earlier ones. This significantly helped to expand the popularity of futons and broaden the market base.
In 1988 Nikita was approached by Shaffield Industries Inc. for a license to manufacture and sell the new G - 2 design. Shaffield, a Tennessee based corporation, acquired the license from Simple Design and began marketing the new futon convertibles under the name of EZ Convertibles, because of the ease with which they converted from sofa to bed and back to sofa.
Shaffield quickly grew to become the world's largest futon manufacturer and distributor. Nikita was paid a royalty on all G - 2 futon convertibles sold but was contractually barred from designing and manufacturing convertibles on his own.
Three years later Shaffield Industries was sold to Winston Corporation, a large furniture group. The new owners replaced most of the management of the old, successful company with new personnel. The new management greatly over extended the company and was unable then to supply quality product in a timely manner. As a result, the new company, at that time called New West, was liquidated after only three years.
Although Nikita lost royalty income, he was free again to design and build convertible furnishings. Under a new company name of NIKEA (which stands for Nikita Engineering and Art), Nikita redesigned the Convertible Sofabed again, taking its evolution to the next level. The new convertible frames did more things, did them better, and did them automatically. Please read about these new frames in the section entitled Design Comparison.
The new mechanism of the JustLeanBack frames is based on a deceptively simple four bar linkage which allows the sofas and chairs to Just Lean Back into perfectly flat and stable beds. This design was granted a US patent # 5,722,101 on March 3, 1988. This is revolutionary, state of the art technology for convertible furniture. It's sophisticated because it's so simple. Nikita believes that the best and most elegant solution to any design problem is the simplest one.
In 2003, Nikita developed a new outdoor line of unique, self-adjusting convertible loungers and deck furnishings for the rapidly growing outdoor room market sector. In order to better describe the new company offerings, the company was renamed Nikita INDOOR OUTDOOR. A new website was launched to present the new convertible seating for den and deck and a brick and mortar showroom was also opened in Saratoga Springs, NY. The invitational phrase to customers to come in and Just Lean Back became so appealing that it was not long before Nikita decided to call this whole new line of Indoor and Outdoor convertibles and all future showrooms displaying it, Just Lean Back. Nikita is now offering Just Lean Back licensed showroom opportunities.
In the mean time, Nikita had renovated the manufacturing facility in Richfield Springs and designed a new, super efficient production system. Each piece of rough lumber is carefully measured and then individually machined for incredibly high yield. The cut off waste is very low but even that is used for heating in high efficiency stoves. The remaining woodchips and sawdust are all collected and provided to farmers for animal bedding, after which they are composted and returned to the soil. This amounts to nearly 100% efficiency in wood resource utilization which is not only gratifying from an environmental perspective but also essential for economic survival in overwhelming global competition.
Global economy, off-shore competition, and in particular, third world production has definitely overwhelmed US manufacturing at almost every level. Many domestic manufacturing companies, if not entire industries, have been decimated with the resultant loss of US employment. This has been due, in part, to a great disparity in standards between American and third world facilities where the workers have been paid wages as low as 2% of American wages and where worker protection and environmental issues are usually completely ignored. This has posed a great challenge to American manufacturing. In order to survive we had to rise to a completely new level.
Nikita believes that this challenge is being met.
It could only be done through great design innovation, ultra high production efficiency and a total dedication to quality.
Innovation. Efficiency. Quality.
This is what Nikita founded the company on and to what it strives.
Innovation that begins with design concept and extends through production technique. Good production technique allows for high efficiency and a good work environment. This, in turn, promotes a high standard of quality. Quality that extends from our hand made products to our service and dedicated customer support.
We, at Nikita and Just Lean Back, don't regard our product as just another commodity. We consider it to be a reflection of who we are as people. This is why we try our hardest to make sure it's the best we can make it.
As the global economy struggles, the rules for the manufacturing playing field continue to change. Rising labor costs overseas and rising fuel and transportation costs are motivating some American CEOs to consider bringing manufacturing back home. As it becomes increasingly less cost effective to take advanatage of underdeveloped countries, and as people become tired of throwing poorly made expendible products into American landfills - MADE IN THE USA is becoming a buzz, a fashion, a cause. Nikita Convertibles and Just Lean Back have been here all along. Bring manufacturing back home? Why, we've never left!

One of the products Oh Crow Creatives sells is Made in America Rain Gauge. A more complete list of their products is provided by Made in America Secrets, to review their list click here.
For more information about Oh Crow Creatives and its Made in the USA products see the following:
The World's Coolest Rain Gauge? was introduced in 2001 and sold by TM Hoff Handmade. When it was introduced at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Show in January of that year, it won Country Living Gardening Magazine's Best New Product award.
Added to an already crowded product line of bird feeders, patio lanterns and other garden accessories, the rain gauge stood out immediately for its creative approach to a somewhat mundane activity: measuring rain.
As it turned out, measuring rain was something a lot of people like to do. Sales skyrocketed, space and resources grew limited, nerves got frazzled.
In 2008, a new company was formed to concentrate on the manufacture and sale of the rain gauge and the rain gauge only. Oh Crow LLC is proud to make the World's Coolest Rain Gauge? in the USA and continues to improve and add to the product line.
Based in New Paltz, NY, Oh Crow LLC is owned by Moira Clune. Her former business partner, Tom Hoff, continues to create practical and amazingly useful products for the home and garden from his studio in Maplecrest, NY.

One of the products PAC sells is Made in the USA Cooking Burners. A more complete list of their products is provided by Made in America Secrets, to review their list click here.
For more information about PAC and its American Made products see the following:
PAC Stove is invented, designed, and manufactured in USA. This steel bodied wood stove is great for back yards and campsites alike. Collapsible design allows for easy cleaning, storage, or compact cargo. Its light enough for the average person to carry and very simple to set up. No tools required. Simple slide fits for all parts. PAC stoves provide intense heat and conserves wood better than other fire pits.
Enjoy the torchlight and warmth around a PAC stove in your patio, garden, or campsite. PAC grills and smokers give you many options for versatile cooking: hot plates, charcoal barbecuing, roasting, baking, and smoking. Even dutch oven and wok cooking!
What is DC Series?
The PAC stove design originated by using a common waste item, the LP cylinder (propane tank.) We still build some burners out of recycled LP cylinders, however supplies are variable. You can check from time to time on what's available under the DC series page. DC stands for down cycled. There are no differences in either design, accept that we would like to offer the consumer the choice to purchase an item that has been recycled as long as local supply lasts. If we are sold out of the DC series, that is a good thing. It means that we can no longer find any waste cylinders in the community to down cycle into a stove or hibachi. To date, we have recycled more that 50 waste cylinders from our community.
Among the DC series, are the Burners DC, and Burner Lite DC.
Tips and Tricks.
Below are some of the many uses we have found, or users have written in about. We thought we would share some of these tips and tricks you might not have thought of otherwise.
RV's, camp grounds, and wilderness areas. Many area's do not allow you to build a fire pit. These stoves offer the perfect solution. We recommend purchasing a metal bucket to bring with so that you cleanly remove the ash when you are ready to go. If you must go before your coals are out, you can simply shovel them into a bucket, and douse the bucket with water. Pack it all away and leave no trace when you leave. The stoves burn wood very efficiently, so you will have very little ash to pack out.
The PAC stove does not qualify as an open fire. You are able to use it as a heater or cooking device in many areas you cannot get away with fire pits such as, camp grounds, or fire restricted areas in national forest lands. Check with your local officials before use as rules vary between Federal, State, and County parks.
Set up near an earthen berm, wall or boulder so that radiant heat will be collected and re-radiated back. Like any fire, set up in an area out of the wind so that it doesn't take your heat away.
Bush pilots, outfitters, pack horse camping, survivalists, and preppers. This stove is a perfect option for those who want a portable stove that packs heat and multi-functionality. Store gear, goods, and utensils inside to maximize your cargo space restrictions in transit, and use local fuel when you get into the back country.
Emergency and power outages. Ice storms, wind storms, earth quakes, and other natural disasters causing trouble? Keep a PAC stove handy for these events. Provides heat and an option for cooking when your electricity is out.
Construction sites and industrial work in inclement weather? The portability and durability of the PAC stove comes in handy on the job site where work is difficult due to frigid weather. At some sites, you can use up your scrap lumber while creating a warming station for workers or cranky tools and gear that doesn't perform well in cold weather.
Home repair and yard work. Need to get yard work or automotive repairs done and its just a little too chilly outside to do it? Set up a burner near by for warmth. These stoves even allow you to do minor black smithing and repairs, as the torch and coal bed can get hot enough to heat smaller steel pieces to workable temperatures. Great for the rural and farm settings.
Stargazing and astronomy enthusiasts. Some users have reported the advantage of having a PAC stove at their campsite or outing because it provides heat, and just enough light to see around, but not enough to ruin night vision for start gazing.
Beach, docks, and bayou. Set up at the beach or marina, where you can quickly boil large amounts of crab, craw fish, or other shell fish harvested, all while using local fuel.
Rural, ranch and farm. PAC Burners come in hand if you need to perform a temporary outdoor job in the cold. Great as a warming station. Can perform some light duty blacksmithing with the stove torch and coal bed. Frost prevention in some. Use as a brush and dead fall burner for orchards and groves. Some localized frost prevention for nursery's.
