Owner description:
Drive down the streets of any town in the USA on trash collection day and you will see the remains of cheap, poorly constructed furniture often made on other continents by people barely making a living wage while being exposed to toxic chemicals. Globally, forests are being destroyed to provide a cheap supply of “wood” which is often a combination of chemicals and sawdust held together with plastic. The use of synthetics and veneers has become standard. The result is furniture with a short lifespan that quickly ends up in landfills in our own country.When you make a purchase at Downtown Fine Furniture Company, you are buying from a company committed to sustainability, social justice and the support of local economies. We are a member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council whose mission is to promote sustainable practices and raise awareness among suppliers, manufacturers, retailers, designers and consumers. Downtown Fine Furniture is crafted to last a lifetime in contrast to the cheap mass-produced furniture many people settle for. Yes, exquisitely handcrafted furniture costs more, but it is built to last for generations. At Downtown Fine Furniture Company we are committed to promoting and helping educate our communities about being good stewards of our natural resources.
