    Furnishing your home doesn't mean neglecting American craftsmanship—you can find many amazing pieces manufactured right here in the USA.

    by Jennifer Sellers

    It's a sad story; one we're all familiar with. The home furnishings industry, like so many others, moved the bulk of its manufacturing overseas. However the tale shouldn't be taken entirely at face value. While it's true that much of today's furniture is made in other countries, there's still quite a bit of it being built here at home—and that trend is increasing.

    “More than 60 percent of all upholstered furniture sold in the United States is still made in the United States,” says Jackie Hirschhaut, vice president of the American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA). “And, while much of wood furniture production has moved overseas, nearly a third is still made right here.” 
 

    Whether you want to support American industry, or just desire an environmentally friendly furniture option (domestic furniture manufacturing produces a smaller carbon footprint), you have a number of options.

     

    An Artist's Mission

    Artist Bob Timberlake lives in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, which was once the heart of furniture manufacturing in the United States. So it's no wonder that his Bob Timberlake Home Collection for Century Furniture is made in the company's Hickory, N.C., plant.

    Timberlake knows that domestically made furniture is an option many Americans want. When his 90-piece collection was unveiled at the Spring 2011 High Point Furniture market, he remarked: “I talk to people all over the country, and I can tell you that the public is rapidly coming back to ‘made in America.’” 

    Timberlake is so devoted to this ideal that he founded Linwood Furniture, a company that manufactures its collections in Linwood, N.C. “This is where craftsmanship and expertise span the generations,” says Mike Mebane, CEO of Linwood Furniture. “I love the heart that goes into manufacturing furniture here in our own plant and the advantages we provide by offering our customers a high degree of customization and furniture that is made in America.”

     

    Using Domestic Materials

    Vaughan-Bassett Furniture, which manufactures its lines in North Carolina and Virginia, sources all of its lumber from locations near its plants. It was featured in an ABC network special called "Made in America," a program that demonstrated how a home could be completely outfitted with domestically made products. 

    McConnellsville, N.Y.-based Harden Furniture is another company that was featured on the same program. The home furnishings manufacturer, which is the oldest in the Northeast, harvests native black cherry from 10,000 acres of company-owned forest in New York State. 

    Likewise, Copeland Furniture in Bradford, Vt. makes its furniture from solid maple that is harvested within driving distance of their factory, “(Americans) have always understood the value of custom upholstery, which is why a respectable share of upholstered furniture is still manufactured in the United States,” says Tim Copeland, president of Copeland Furniture. “We hope to demonstrate that the same principle can be applied to U.S.-manufactured wood furniture.” 

    Just as Vaughn-Bassett, Harden and Copeland draw upon local resources for lumber, Hickory, N.C.-based C.R. Laine chooses American-made fabrics for its upholstered furniture. While most upholstered pieces in the industry are made in the United States, many of the textile companies that provide fabrics for upholstery outsource the millwork. That's why C.R. Laine started using fabrics manufactured by American textile companies—an important distinction for shoppers who want truly domestic products.

     

    Spreading the News

    Not only are domestic furniture manufacturers making their products here, they're promoting the growing trend of Made in the USA furnishings. Hickory Chair recently launched a year-long celebration of American craftsmanship, focusing on its century of furniture production in Hickory, N.C. “We’re celebrating design and craftsmanship in America,” says Hickory Chair's president, Jay Reardon. “We’re paying tribute to all the men and women who have worked so hard for our company and our industry. We want to remind people that the rich legacy of handmade home furnishings is still an American reality.”
