The Spruce / Chloe Jeong
If you’re tired of buying cheap furniture that doesn’t last, it may be time to look into buying some quality American-made furniture. Oftentimes, American-made furniture is not mass produced; instead, it’s durably made by artisans with the intention to last. Jane Henry, a furniture restorer and founder of Jane Henry Studios tells us, “Well-made furniture can last for generations, save money in the long run since it won’t need to be replaced, is more easily restored, and in general is more comfortable.”
In addition to speaking with Henry, we also spoke with furniture restorer and refinisher Jim Caione of Hudson Valley Furniture Service to better understand what makes furniture high-quality, and what people should specifically seek out when choosing pieces from an American-made furniture company. In the end, we highlighted retailers that all focus on craftsmanship as well as use quality materials meant to last in their products.
Floyd
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/two-piece-form-sectional-6fbb0852fc4244b69d9a3779261db7bc.jpg)
Floyd
Well-made furniture designed to last
Easy assembly
Modern but timeless design
Shipping can get expensive
High return costs
Since 2013, Floyd has established itself online as a brand specializing in quality furniture that’s built to last with a timeless aesthetic. The Detroit-founded company now sells everything from living room furniture like sofas and coffee tables to bedroom furniture, like its popular modular bed frames. The website is robust and simple to navigate, and in addition to the major pieces of furniture, you can also find accessories like rugs and throw pillows.
When ordering from Floyd, you will have to expect to assemble the furniture on your own. However, in testing some of Floyd's furniture firsthand, we found that each piece of furniture comes neatly organized and with clear instructions that make home assembly a breeze. Buyers will appreciate the little details, too, like thoughtful packaging that reveals the greeting "Hi there, I’m a Floyd sofa." It sets a warm tone. In terms of price, the brand’s products are on par with many other brands’ prices, but there’s no doubt that Floyd Home provides solid quality.
One drawback to be aware of when ordering from Floyd is shipping isn’t included for furniture. In fact, for furniture and rugs, you’ll pay an additional 12 percent of the order cost, with a maximum of $399. If you do decide to order linens and bedding, those products do come with free shipping. However, with a wide-ranging selection of types of furniture and various styles, Floyd Home is a great option for anyone seeking quality, style, and easy assembly.

Stickley
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Stickley-88ae9545978c40369641ecaa01f611e7.jpg)
Stickley
Over 100 years of experience
Uses high-quality hardwoods
Lengthy warranty
Returns are difficult
No delivery to residences
Since its founding in 1900, Stickley has been a staple of American-made furniture. The classic brand prides itself on the integrity and honor of the pieces it makes, using actual premium hardwoods. Today, the brand boasts that over 90 percent of its furniture is made in upstate New York and North Carolina. While you can expect to find many classical and more traditional pieces in rich stains like the Round Pedestal Dining Table, Stickley does also feature more mid-century looking furniture as well, like the Walnut Grove Upholstered Bed. If you’re looking for hardwood furniture to decorate your bedroom, living room, dining room, or your office, then Stickley is a great company to shop.
One detail to be aware of with Stickley is that although the website is well-designed and easy to use, you cannot actually purchase furniture through it. Rather, it will direct you to the nearest retailer that you can purchase it from. While it’s not the most convenient option, it’s a company that allows you to browse quality furniture right from home before making an in-person purchase.
Return Policy: No returns except for items under 50 pounds (within 30 days) | Warranty Policy: Limited lifetime or 5 years, depending on product | Delivery Options: Does not ship to residential addresses | Payment Options: Synchrony monthly payments
The Joinery
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/The-Joinery-a69239f5ade94eeab37513c32bb75b54.jpg)
The Joinery
Lifetime warranty
Furniture pieces are individually made
Appointments available on site
20-25 week build times
Founded in 1982 as a one-person refurbishing and furniture repair business, The Joinery has dramatically expanded in the years since. As the name implies, the company focuses on using joinery techniques to build high-quality furniture that’s designed to last. Today, while The Joinery is a much bigger company, it still relies on an individual builder in Portland, Oregon who uses hardwoods to create durable pieces of furniture. A simple and easy to navigate website lets you see everything available.
What can you expect to get from The Joinery? This American-made company offers elegant but understated furniture, like the Contemporary Sleigh Bed. The brand’s products let the wood do the talking, without any extra pops of color. At The Joinery, you’ll be able to find bed frames, nightstands, and dining tables, as well living room and office furniture.
When ordering from The Joinery, keep in mind that it takes some time for the furniture to be built and shipped, with build times estimated between 20 and 25 weeks. That being said, we love that the company provides a lifetime warranty on residential furniture for the original owner.

Vaughan-Bassett
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Vaughan-Bassett-eacd9b12eed04efc9045cdd706a73d57.jpg)
Vaughan-Bassett
French dovetail construction
Over 100 years of experience
Replants trees as a sustainability practice
No online ordering
Prices not listed on site
For over 100 years, Vaughan-Bassett has been making furniture that’s constructed to last a lifetime. Originally founded by two men from Bassett, Virginia, the company now employs over 500 craftsmen in factories out of Galax, Virginia. The brand prides itself on using wood solids and veneers that are grown near some of the company’s plants, and it primarily uses pine, oak, maple, cherry, ash, poplar, birch, and beech. On the inside, details like the drawers of dressers are made with French dovetail construction for long-lasting durability.
The style of Vaughan-Bassett’s furniture is more classical, with some pieces–like the American Dovetail Bed–made in the farmhouse design. You can expect to find bedroom furniture like desks, nightstands, dressers, beds, and mirrors at Vaughan-Bassett. However, one important detail to be aware of when purchasing from the company is you cannot purchase anything online. While the website is easy and intuitive, providing an easy way to browse the available production selection, it will only direct you to the dealer nearest you after you enter your zip code.
Return Policy: 15 percent restocking fee for non custom items canceled prior to delivery | Warranty Policy: 1 year | Delivery Options: In-store pickup and white glove delivery | Payment Options: Synchrony payment options
Allform
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Allform-99055fd298b2428da404cdc3209c1fb4.jpg)
Allform
Free swatches
Highly durable fabrics
Furniture made with kiln-dried wood
Free delivery
Only sells seating options
Furniture can take 3 to 4 months to arrive
Unlike other furniture brands on our list, Allform sticks mainly to sofas and chairs. This focus on specificity really shines through in the overall quality of the brand’s finished products. The company prides itself on providing work to artisans in America, and Allform has even partnered with a multi-generational family- owned facility in North Carolina. Additionally, the brand uses recycled materials throughout its products, like the 3-Seat Sofa. The sofas are simple but timeless, with a focus on modularity. Overall the colors are fairly basic and neutral, but there is some opportunity for brighter reds if you want a pop of color.
Allform is so sure of its products that customers will enjoy free shipping, a forever warranty, and a 100-day trial to make sure the pieces you order are just what you’re looking for. Beyond that, free swatches are provided to ensure you get the look you want. In terms of quality, Allform uses fabrics that are scratch-, pill-, and stain-resistant. Plus, the frames are made with kiln-dried wood, a detail that prevents cracking and warping over time. Just be aware, though, that furniture can have longer wait times than others on our list, with a 3 to 4 month projection.

Schoolhouse
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SchoolhouseMiloSofa-f2b3162b230148f1a8d86d5fc6dd4225.jpeg)
Schoolhouse
Wide range of products, including home decor
Interesting color options
Online sale section
Limited furniture options
Some items can’t be returned
Since its founding in 2003, Schoolhouse is a furniture company that’s been committed to “the preservation of American manufacturing, thoughtful living, and purposeful design.” Stylistically, the company is focused on crafting timeless furniture–but Schoolhouse doesn’t overlook innovation, with a special emphasis on reimagining the classics. The American-based company designs its pieces in its factory in Portland Oregon, and while its furniture selection isn’t particularly vast (the company sells only one bed, for example), everything is well-made. Schoolhouse does sell a couch, the Milo Sofa, as well as chairs and other items. However, where this brand really excels is with its lighting. Other smaller items, like decorative throw pillows and blankets, are also available.
One drawback to shopping with Schoolhouse is its products are a bit expensive. However, as Caione tells us, good American-made furniture is worth looking at like a car; it’s an investment into something that will last. With Schoolhouse in particular, the product quality is great, and the company offers an excellent website with customer reviews to help guide you in your search.

Vermont Woods Studio
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Vermont-Woods-Studio-29b3dc6c53d347b684949f4b24c17a29.jpg)
Vermont Woods Studio
Sustainability focused
Works with independent furniture makers
White glove delivery
Lifetime warranty
Costly shipping
Limited color options
Vermont Woods Studios was started in Vermont in 2005, created in the hopes of offsetting the destruction of the rainforest by sourcing furniture and materials right from the company’s home state. The company works with independent furniture makers across the state, and its products can be purchased both online or in its showroom at Stonehurst. In addition to selling high-quality and sustainably-sourced hardwood furniture, the brand has also made a marked investment in the environment, planting over 180,000 trees to help reforest the Amazon.
The furniture that Vermont Woods Studios makes fits into shaker, mission and even art deco styles, all of which really focus on letting the wood and its grain do the talking. These pieces can be statements, or they can blend in seamlessly if your home features any of these styles throughout. However, if you’re more into simplicity, items like the Cherry Moon Dovetail Platform Bed will be right up your alley.
At Vermont Woods Studios, you can expect to find everything you need for your bedroom, dining room, living room, office, and even outdoor spaces. An added bonus is the company does sell items in sets as well, making it easy to complete an entire room without shopping around. One important detail to be aware of, though, is the furniture can get a bit pricey, especially when you factor in the cost of shipping (which starts at $199.)
Return Policy: 30 days with 25 percent restocking fee | Warranty Policy: Lifetime | Delivery Options: White glove | Payment Options: Paypal, debit, credit, checks
Burrow
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Burrow-d4b74e98ab994c9faece4f19b7901fcc.jpg)
Burrow
Flexible, adaptable furniture for every room
Modular designs
Free shipping
Easy assembly
Returns can be expensive without original packaging
Shorter warranty
Founded in 2016 after the founders became frustrated with a lack of quality, affordability and convenience from other furniture brands, Burrow decided to remedy that and offer fresh furniture that combines all of these qualities. The brand makes furniture that’s forward-thinking, with a focus on modularity in items like the Block Nomad Sofa to make moving and arranging furniture easier. As a result, this allows Burrow to offer free shipping, ease of moving, simple assembly and the optionality to add to your own furniture over time. Stylistically, Burrow sells items that fit seamlessly into the mid-century modern mold with earthier color options, and while the furniture does require assembly, we found it to be a fairly painless process.
Burrow focuses on quality over quantity, trying to limit its options while giving you as the purchaser the power to get exactly what you need. Be aware, however, of Burrow’s shorter warranty when purchasing; items are only warranty-backed for one year. If you decide to return your item, there’s also a 10 percent fee if you have the original packaging, and a 20 percent fee if you do not, capped at $250.
Return Policy: 30-days | Warranty Policy: 1 year | Delivery Options: Free and time estimates are on the website | Payment Options: Affirm 3, 6, and 12 month payments
Apt2B
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/brentwood-2pc-sectional-sofa-96757d6a0dc9497d966a7983a930a31b.jpg)
Apt2B
Wide range of styles for every room
Offers more chic and colorful options
Free delivery, with white glove option for $149
Not everything is made in USA
Doesn’t offer shipping to Hawaii and Alaska
If you’re looking for an American-made furniture company that’s modern in its selection, we highly recommend Apt2B. Started in 2010 as an attempt to make furniture of good quality with affordable prices, the brand has only taken off since then. You can expect to find mid-century modern furniture like the Rollins Coffee Table, as well as transitional, industrial, glam, and even “Scandifornian” pieces here. While not every item from Apt2B is exclusively made in the USA, the pieces that are made in the US are clearly noted–like the Huxley chair or the Magnolia 3-piece sectional. Much of this company’s upholstered furniture is actually made in the company’s downtown LA factory.
We like Apt2B for a handful of reasons, but one of the standouts is how stylish and reasonably priced the pieces are. Additionally, the company offers the option to build your own sectional for the ultimate level of customization. And while Apt2b doesn’t have any physical locations, the online site is super easy to navigate and features honest customer reviews. Just be sure to read the product descriptions beforehand if you want to make certain you’re choosing an American-made piece.

AllModern
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/AllModernGeo84UpholsteredSofa-9b8695e6c2834415bdec0644b0b4395f.jpeg)
AllModern
Wide selection of furniture and home goods
Contemporary designs with plenty of color and style options
Fast delivery
Quality can vary
Return policy varies from item to item
As the name implies, AllModern is your place to go for modern furniture–here, you’ll find options that are fresh, with contemporary features and details. Since its inception in 2006, the brand has thoroughly entrenched itself as an affordable place to get chic looks. Selling everything from stylish couches like the Geo Upholstered Sofa to tufted area rugs, AllModern is the place that has it all. This American-made furniture company does have physical storefronts, but only two of them (and they’re both located in Massachusetts.) Luckily, the website is simple to use and widely expansive, featuring reviews in the thousands for many products. Additionally, the company’s site notes that all of its furniture is American-made in the North Carolina mountains.
It’s worth noting, however, that some customers feel AllModern furniture quality doesn’t match the price on some products. Thankfully, the surplus of reviews you’ll find online provides legitimate insight into what you’ll be getting, so be sure to read those.

Sabai
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/the-essential-sofa-c72cd2901317457889ea1282bb8c5f7c.jpg)
Sabai
Free fabric swatches
Focus on sustainability
Uses nontoxic materials
Assembly required
More limited product selection
Launched in 2019 in an attempt to create furniture that’s guilt-free as well as chemical-free, Sabai doesn’t skimp on making stunning home items. Each piece of this brand’s furniture is made in a family-owned factory in High Point, North Carolina, and they will send you free fabric swatches before you make any purchases. What separates Sabai from other retailers is that the company also offers a “Repair don’t replace” promise as well as a buy back guarantee, two policies that make sure whatever you purchase sticks around.
While Sabai’s inventory isn’t as expansive as some other companies on our list, its focus on a few major items ensures quality over quantity. Known mainly for its seating options like The Essential Sectional, you can absolutely find something in your style, with different color and leg options to choose from. We also love The City Table for its simplistic elegance.
Just note that when you invest in a piece of Sabai furniture, you’ll have to assemble it yourself. Fortunately, the brand keeps it simple and assures that this will only take 20 minutes per product. While Sabai doesn’t have any storefronts, the company’s website is great and easy to use, plus it features customer reviews to guide you.

Medley
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Medley-e594e0cb78094f5486826b7a647abc81.jpg)
Medley
Eco friendly materials
In-home trial available, white glove delivery
Non-refundable shipping fees
Customer service not available on weekends
Since 2005, two brothers have been trying to create furniture that’s sustainable, well-crafted, and won’t just end up in a landfill. The result is Medley, a furniture brand that makes products that are as sleek as they are well-crafted. With an array of products that includes everything from sofas like the Kirnik to an organic latex mattress, Medley isn’t playing around when it comes to quality or variety. You can also find accent chairs, dining furniture, and much more.
Every item is made in either Portland, Chicago, or Los Angeles and can be purchased seamlessly through Medley’s website, which features reviews from verified purchasers. There’s an extra perk that we particularly love about this American-made furniture retailer, too: Customers can enjoy a 30-day in-home trial to test out pieces before fully committing and making them a permanent part of their homes.
One drawback of shopping with Medley is shipping fees are non-refundable for canceled or returned items. However, we love that the brand offers a variety of payment options, including financing with Affirm, with options between six and 18 months.
Return Policy: 30 days | Warranty Policy: 5, 10, 20 years or lifetime warranty, depending on product | Delivery Options: White glove | Payment Options: Affirm 6-18 month payments
BenchMade Modern
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/BenchMade-Modern-c6925b774f334ba4812340cee7c7dd3d.jpg)
BenchMade Modern
Reasonable return process
Lifetime warranty
Modular options available
Wide range of color options
Limited furniture outside of seating options
White glove service is expensive
With a focus on “rejecting the status quo,” BenchMade Modern has differentiated itself as an American-made furniture brand in a handful of ways. The company’s products are designed with luxury in mind, with a focus on allowing customizability. Combining modern manufacturing with old world upholstery techniques, BenchMade Modern makes everything in the US. Additionally, all of the furniture frames are backed by a lifetime warranty; that’s how sure of its quality BenchMade Modern is.
In terms of products, the brand focuses mainly on seating, selling sofas like the Skinny Fat, chaises like the OG Crowd Pleaser and accent chairs like The Elaine. Customizability is available; for certain pieces, you can choose the direction it faces, the fabric or leather it's made with, the legs, and even the cushion filling. You can also expect to find smaller side tables, rugs, and lighting (though customization is limited for home decor.)
You will want to note that while BenchMade Modern does have a 100-day trial for made-to-order items, if you do decide to return during that trial period, you’ll have to pay both a return processing fee and a shipping fee. However, if you return within the first 14 days, you only have to cover the original shipping fee and BenchMade Modern will cover the return shipping.

Maiden Home
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/the-lenox-sofa-158b1e6ba68a434cbf0c30b62341483a.jpg)
Maiden Home
Individually-made pieces with unique variations
Materials sourced from sustainably-managed forests
Luxury details and finishes
Return fee of 10 percent after 24 hours
Finish disparities can occur
Maiden Home is a furniture company that’s based in the US, both when it comes to manufacturing and its day-to-day retail operations. While Maiden Home’s furniture is designed in New York City, the actual assembly takes place in North Carolina at the hands of furniture artisans. The brand sources its materials from sustainably-managed forests throughout the country, as well as from excellent quality textile mills and tanneries. The result? Furniture that’s of high quality and durably constructed.
While this American furniture maker occasionally does popup experiences, it primarily sells through its website–which is well-designed, easy to navigate, and includes plenty of honest customer reviews. Maiden Home’s furniture is fairly versatile, with some simpler and more classical designs like The Crosby as well as modern designs with sharper, cleaner lines, like The Thompson Bed. Overall, you can expect to find fairly subdued and earthy tones in the mix.
Everything the brand makes is handmade to order, so you can rest assured that the slightly higher price tag is for a good reason. Reviewers also appreciate the brand for its quality customer service. It’s important to be aware, though, that because everything's made to order, there may be some differences in wood finish as well as up to a 1-inch size difference. As well, custom built furniture will take slightly longer. Fortunately, Maiden Home offers white glove delivery for some of its more substantial pieces.
Return Policy: 30 days | Warranty Policy: Lifetime or 2-year limited, depending on product | Delivery Options: $145 white glove delivery for all furniture, UPS for smaller items | Payment Options: Affirm 12, 24, and 36 month payments
The Appel Shop
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/The-Appel-Shop-843ff4756b7940fcba6a73a9d240b163.jpg)
The Appel Shop
Wide range of size options available
Varied farmhouse-inspired product selection
Uses sustainably sourced wood
No free shipping to Hawaii and Alaska
Assembly required
Started in 2014 as a one-person operation, The Appel Shop has grown dramatically from its humble roots. While it now features a retail location in Monticello, Florida, it also ships its furniture nationally through its solid website, with free shipping around the continental US. The company’s specialty is tables, with dining tables like the Hannah, desks like the Tristan, and coffee tables like the Willow. Much of the furniture is available in a variety of different sizes, making it a great choice to not have to compromise on that front. And in terms of style, you can expect to find mainly farmhouse items here.
Just be aware, however, that while The Appel Shop is great for those who love farmhouse furniture, there isn’t much variety in style beyond this one aesthetic. However, we love that this American-made company uses sustainably sourced hardwood and offers payment options through Afterpay.
Return Policy: 14 days with 20 percent restocking fee | Warranty Policy: None listed | Delivery Options: UPS Ground | Payment Options: Afterpay
For more contemporary styles that are made in America, we recommend Floyd or Burrow, while Stickley and The Joinery are unbeatable options for top-quality solid wood pieces.
What to Look for in an American-Made Furniture Company
Construction
Investing in well-made furniture ensures you’ll have pieces designed to last you a long time, unlike fast furniture. Henry tells us that construction details are key clues that can signal durability when looking for furniture: “There should be no gaps in the joints and no visible glue. Nails and staples on butt joints do not withstand tension.” When asked about quality, Caione tells us that “if the drawers are dovetail, that’s a tell-tale sign,” for quality. Keeping this in mind, we highly recommend Vaughan-Bassett, which makes drawers with dovetail joints and focuses on solid woods and veneers.
Material
When it comes to considering materials, Henry tells us that while veneer and solid wood are good, you should be cautious of things built with medium density fiberboard (or MDF, as it’s commonly known) as it can be easily damaged and can swell. Caione also points out that while many pieces of furniture today are made with particle board, you’re much better suited looking for items made with plywoods or solid wood, like the products from Stickley. He also notes that pressboard, another common material, is one to keep an eye out for, as this material tends to swell when water touches it, rendering it unfixable.
Style
The fun thing about furniture is that it provides a chance to express your own unique style and sense of creativity. And fortunately, there is no shortage of American made furniture brands that use high quality materials and cover the spectrum of different designs. Different materials, leg lengths, and finishes all contribute to creating unique styles. If you're someone who likes farmhouse furniture, you’ll love the product selection over at The Appel Shop. Conversely, if you like more mid-century modern flairs, we suggest checking out Burrow.
Customization
Many brands offer a chance to customize your furniture, either through fabric and material choices, color choices, different leg options, or sometimes even the positioning of the furniture itself. One thing to be aware of, though, is that customized furniture can potentially have longer wait times as it needs to be built. Additionally, it may have more strict return rules with less refunding available. For customizability, we like BenchMade Modern, which has no shortage of fabrics, 5-inch size increment options, and material options to get you exactly what you’re looking for.
Where to Buy the Best American-Made Furniture
While some brands may feature storefronts to go in and purchase furniture, many are exclusively online today. Both of these have their own sets of benefits. Being able to go and see furniture in person is a great way to make sure that it looks how you want it to, and it also offers a chance to ensure it is of good quality. On the other hand, purchasing online makes your life easier because you can just do it from home, and you also don’t have to transport the furniture from the shop to where you live.
-
How can you tell if furniture is good quality?
There are a handful of ways to ensure the furniture you’re purchasing is of good quality. According to Henry, “High quality furniture tends to be heavier than less expensive, less durable furniture.” Beyond the weight, you can also look at the drawers, as Henry tells us, “The highest quality pieces are constructed with mortise and tenon or dovetail joints.” Lastly, she recommends testing it on your own, stating, “You can check for stability by seeing if it creaks, wobbles, and sways when you put weight on it.”
-
What is the most durable material for furniture?
While Henry does note that metal furniture can last you for some time, she says that “Wood, particularly hard woods such as mahogany, oak, ash, teak or walnut make the most durable furniture.” She tells us that with these hardwoods, you can expect less warping or scratching.
-
When is the best time to buy furniture?
Generally speaking, the summer and winter are the best times to look into furniture, as the spring and fall is when new furniture is generally released. Some holidays are also very popular for sales, including President’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the Fourth of July. Of course, this all varies by brand, and some custom made shops may not follow these trends. As a result, it may be worth setting alerts or signing up for email notifications for these brands so you won’t miss out.
Why Trust The Spruce?
Jack Byram is a freelance writer who specializes in all things home. He has interviewed numerous interior designers and furniture builders and written countless articles about different styles of furniture. For this article, he spoke with Jane Henry of Jane Henry Studios and furniture restorer and refinisher Jim Caione of Hudson Valley Furniture Service to glean expert insight into what makes furniture high-quality. After that, he researched dozens of brands, using customer reviews to guide his picks for the best American-made furniture companies.
