Our story

A family tradition since 1977

Bay State Seating, LLC is a second-generation, family-owned furniture installation company with over 45 years of experience serving clients and institutions worldwide.

Formerly known as H&H Public Seating and based in southeastern Massachusetts, Howard Hayden started H&H Public and built the business on careful workmanship and reliable service. He passed it on to his son, Derrick Hayden. After years of working side-by-side with his father, Derrick carries forward the same attention to detail, service excellence, and the “sharp eye” Howard was known for.

Whether the project is ten seats or more than six thousand, our goal is your complete satisfaction—a clean install and a finish you can be proud of.
