In New York City in 1903, the Telescope Cot Bed & Novelty Company started manufacturing cots and campstools with “telescoping” legs that gave the fledgling company its unique name. Now, 109 years later we are featuring our beautiful Brio Collection overlooking a midtown Manhattan that looks decidedly different than when we first started our company. In addition to our factory in midtown Manhattan, Telescope’s sawmills were located in Pennsylvania until 1921 when Telescope moved to the lush countryside of Granville, New York. Telescope has always been self sufficient, which has allowed us to remain competitive in today’s market by responding quickly and finding innovative methods for manufacturing. For over 100 years Telescope has remained a remarkably successful family owned business currently managed by the fourth and fifth generation.
