Sustainability. 10 Points.
‘Green’ is a good start, but we are also forging a sustainable business guided by these points.
Our products are comfortable, durable, reparable, handsome, and not-too-expensive (but not cheap!)
Production is extremely low-waste, local and efficient (0.00 to 0.06 is left from each sheet of plywood or plastic).
Materials are environmentally sound and structurally solid (we use recycled and recyclable plastics and the best sustainable plywood).
Methods are the best of the old and the new (computer-controlled routers plus sharp hand tools).
We pay decent wages and offer training, suitable jobs and good working conditions.
Warehousing and storage is minimal (most products are made-to-order).
Delivery minimizes and reuses packing materials (as much as possible, we use straps and moving blankets, not plastic wrap and bubbles).
Shipping is flat (plus, as we branch out to more small shops we eliminate shipping).
Assembly is simple, pleasant and sturdy (few parts and no loose hardware).
Our products offer years and years of pleasure (we stand behind everything we make!)
