Furniture Design and Construction

We design nearly all of our own products and then partner with small, family-owned companies around the U.S. to make our furniture and accessories. More than 90% of our products are manufactured in America using quality U.S. and imported materials. We believe this approach allows us to bring you the best craftsmanship and fastest delivery with the least environmental impact.

We offer many ways to personalize or create your own furniture. For example, you can select from a wide variety of top materials for our tables, desks, nightstands and more. You can also create personalized cabinets and bookcases handcrafted to your measurements, and you can design your own sectional. Learn more

Our mattresses offer superior comfort and support without requiring a box spring. The result is a cleaner profile and a better night's sleep. For these reasons, we design all of our beds to accommodate a mattress only.

Many of our wood furnishings feature an oil-and-wax finish. Oil penetrates wood to enhance its natural color and grain pattern while wax seals and protects. To maintain the wood, we recommend treating it as needed with Howard Products Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish or Osmo Wood Wax Finish, following the manufacturer’s instructions when applying.

Responsibility and Reputation

Our goal is to give you an outstanding shopping experience every step of the way. We stand behind the quality of our products and the service we provide. If you're not satisfied with your purchase or any part of your experience, just let us know.

We don't mark prices up only to mark them down and call it a "sale." We work directly with our manufacturing partners to bring you the best quality at the lowest possible price, every day. Discontinued items are offered in limited quantities at clearance prices. We carry a small number of authentic, licensed items from companies like Pablo and Humanscale. In the unlikely event another retailer offers a lower price on any of these items, we will gladly match it.

We've supported American artisans and manufacturers since founding our company in 1980. We partner with small, family-owned companies that share our passion for the art of American furniture making and our dedication to sustainability. More than 90% of our products are made in America from quality U.S. and imported materials. Learn more

We believe timeless, well-crafted furniture is an investment in the future of your home and the health of the planet. When you choose furniture designed and built to last, you don't have to worry about it breaking or going out of style. That means less waste, less energy used to build more furniture, and more money in your pocket. Learn more
