Why buy Canadian?

The most obvious reason to buy Canadian made furniture is to support the local economy but there at are a couple other valid reasons one should shop at home for furniture.

1. It’s an ethical choice. Furniture is manufactured under fair working conditions and, for the most part, renewable resources from our forests.

2. It is made local so it hasn’t travelled thousands of miles to reach you, which cuts down on pollution contributing to global warming.

3. in Canada, strict logging laws mean that Canadian furniture manufacturers, as well as local artisans and woodworkers, have access to high-quality renewable resources based on fair trade practices. Canadian furniture is made of the highest quality materials that last, it won’t be in a landfill in 2 years

4. Choosing Canadian furniture encourages local spending and stimulates the Canadian economy. Coast to coast, small- and medium-sized furniture companies inject more than 10 billion dollars¹ into the local economy based on sales from hundreds of thousands of customers.

5.  Typically buying local furniture means a quicker manufacturing and delivery time so you will have your office up and running faster.
