25 & Pine

25 & Pine is the family furniture company discussed in Advice Line with Jeffrey Hollender of Seventh Generation. Christina Molinaro explains that the company makes shared furniture for parents and children, including pieces that can function as child seats, adult stools, benches, or tables.

Key Points

• The company started with hand-built furniture in an apartment garage, moved to a basement, and then moved into commercial space after a TikTok video went viral.
• The source says sales over roughly five years reached about $600,000.
• Its core challenge is reaching parents who feel the problem before they know the product exists.
• The advice centers on continuing to adapt social media, adding email storytelling, showing the problem with humor, testing paid amplification, and seeding products with smaller creators.
