We take our environmental responsibilities seriously, which is why: We only use plantation grown and harvested wood. Southern Yellow Pine forests are some of the most productive and sustainable timberlands in the world and it is an abundant and renewable resource. The furniture is blanket wrapped for local shipping whenever possible instead of using disposable packaging. Waste generated is recycled where possible (sawdust is used as animal bedding on a local farm, wood scraps are bagged for fuel) and when not feasible is disposed of in a responsible manner. Quality and durability mean a very long product lifecycle (lifetime) which minimizes the impact and footprint of your purchase on the environment.
