While I was in the mood for buying new furniture, I came across an interesting online furniture store that sells couches, loveseats, and sectionals. It is called Home Reserve.com.
They use all USA made raw materials. The wood frame is made of strand-board which is strong and comes from high-yielding, fast-growing trees that have the Sustainable Forestry Initiative label. Their products make use of recycled foam. The company prides themselves on the “renewability” of their products. In other words, all the various parts of the furniture can be serviced. Foam and fabric components can be replaced.
This is a quote from their website:
The most important element in conservation, is to keep consumer products out of the landfill and waste cycle. If a product can be maintained, parts replaced and the service life extended, that has the biggest positive impact upon the environment. It eliminates the need for the consumption of more raw materials, the production of electrical power to be used in manufacturing, and the use of fuel in transportation.
I also like the furniture because I have young children. The furniture has built-in storage and has been “kid-tested” using tests developed by Purdue University for the US Government. The furniture also has a 5-year frame warranty.
If you are interested in purchasing new furniture and care about the environment, check out Home Reserve.com.
