At Vermont Woods Studios all of our furniture is 100% made in America but we realize that's not enough.  Like any other American company that's going to be successful selling to consumers in the USA, we have to also have the best quality, best prices, best service and best social and environmental policies.  We're always working on that and welcome your feedback and advice.

Marcie published an interview with us on her blog last week, highlighting the question, "Do You Know Where Your Furniture Comes From?"  More and more our customers are interested in this issue and wanting to make sure their furniture is made of sustainably harvested wood and crafted in America.  If you have a business that makes all of your goods in the USA, give Marcie a call and help spread the word about American made products.

Kind of like cars… it's nearly impossible to find a definition of US made furniture.  That's because most furniture companies we think of as American are making their furniture overseas (for example, Bassett, Broyhill, Lanye, Lazy Boy, Ethan Allan, Thomasville, Pennsylvania House, Drexel, American Drew, Stanley and others).  Rather than be up front about it, they will often complete the last manufacturing step or two (for example applying the finish) in the USA and will then state that their furniture is Made in the USA.  They lobby against any sort of definitions for the American made label because it does not suit their interest.

Just so you know, though there are furniture makers left that really do make their furniture 100% in the USA.  Vermont has become the hub of American furniture making over the last 30 years or so, as North Carolina companies have mostly gone overseas. 

Of the 2000 or so Vermont furniture makers, I can think of only two that have a portion of their operations overseas.  That says something about Vermont, don't you think?
