Sustainability As we are located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, we are constantly reminded about the importance of nature and protecting the environment around us. • •

We use recycled steel to create our furniture and we recycle all the scrap. Nearly all the wood we use for our tops and cabinetry comes from the Appalachian region around us, whose forests are certified by the USDA as growing at a rate of three trees for every one harvested. Our forges are all heated using propane, which is cleaner burning and more efficient than natural gas. Our powder coat paint system produces less waste and releases far fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than wet paint spray systems. Our on-demand packaging system minimizes cardboard waste. More than 90% of our suppliers are located within 100 miles of our factory meaning a smaller carbon footprint. We build furniture that lasts literally for generations. Our products can be repaired, refinished, and even recycled.
