“This table is important to me for the security it provides. Faced with an active shooter, I’d want everything stacked in my favor and this table provides that tactical advantage and protection.”
Michael Ford
Special Operations Chief SOCM (Ret.)



The entire experience left me energized with possibilities. Not only by adding an incredible layer of protection during an active threat, but that law enforcement are not the only people concerned with safety. These tables were designed and built by furniture installers for the purpose of saving lives. I had never considered ballistic tables before this experience, but someone else did. This experience let me know that others in the community share our concern for safety. Although we, as law enforcement officers, may feel like we constantly battle the general public over their own safety and security, it is inspiring to see so many others standing with us.”

“Having spent 18 years in Law Enforcement as a Deputy Sheriff and 14 years in SWAT along with 22 years prior military, it is comforting to see a new product to protect our families.

Thanks to First Line Furniture, there is now a product in place to help protect our children, teachers and the public from a possible active shooter.

The First Line Furniture Flip Top table was created to provide a secure barrier that can be deployed by anyone should the need arise.”
