Pollution and Economy:

According to the New York Times, a single cargo ship coming into a harbor can expel as much toxic emissions as 350,000 current-model automobiles in one hour.

Over the past 15 years, as international trade has exploded and shipping capacity has grown by 50 percent, cargo ships have become one of the nation's leading sources of air pollution, threatening the health of millions of people living in port cities.

The U.S. Commerce Department found that 73,000 American furniture jobs were eliminated since 2000. In the same period, U.S. sales of Chinese-made furniture exploded from $405-million to $5.82-billion.

All of our custom factories are located in Southern California.

Deforestation:
Scientists estimate that we are losing more than 137 species of plants and animals every single day because of rainforest deforestation.

Logging tropical hardwoods like teak, mahogany, rosewood, and other timber for furniture and other wood products is clearly unsustainable for any length of time.

All of our custom factories use highly regulated logging companies located in North America.

Made in the U.S.A.:

Made by hand in Los Angeles. Local, domestic manufacturing has a far lighter impact on the environment than foreign imports.

Many foreign factories have little or no environmental regulations.
