The 14 Best American-Made Furniture Companies of 2024

Support local economies with our top-vetted picks

Made in America furniture we recommend on a green background

The Spruce / Lecia Landis

If you’re tired of cheap furniture that doesn’t last, it may be time to look into buying some quality American-made pieces. Often, 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 and save money in the long run, since it won’t need to be replaced, is more easily restored, and in general is more comfortable.” Plus, you can even maintain most with just a simple DIY all-purpose cleaner.

In addition to Henry, we 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 focus on craftsmanship and use quality materials meant to last in their products. 

Floyd

Floyd The Flow Rug

Floyd

What We Like
  • Well-made furniture designed to last

  • Easy assembly

  • Modern but timeless design

What We Don't Like
  • Shipping isn't included for furniture and rugs

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, so you can search for accessories like rugs and throw pillows in addition to the major pieces of furniture.

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 that 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 who's seeking quality, style, and easy assembly.

Burrow

Burrow Arch Nomad Loveseat

Burrow

What We Like
  • Flexible, adaptable furniture for every room

  • Modular designs

  • Free shipping

  • Easy assembly

What We Don't Like
  • Shorter warranty

  • 20 percent fee on returns without original packaging

Founded in 2016 after the founders became frustrated with a lack of quality, affordability, and convenience from other furniture brands, Burrow decided to 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, Burrow can offer free shipping, ease of moving, simple assembly, and the option to add to your own furniture over time. Stylistically, Burrow sells items Burrow sells items that fit seamlessly into the mid-century modern aesthetic with earthier color options, and while the furniture requires 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

Apt2B Brentwood Sectional Builder

Apt2B

What We Like
  • Wide range of styles for every room

  • Offers more chic and colorful options

  • Free delivery, with white glove option for $149

What We Don't Like
  • Not everything is made in the USA

  • Doesn’t offer shipping to Hawaii or 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 there.

The pieces that are made in the U.S. are clearly noted, like 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. The company also 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. Just be sure to read the product descriptions beforehand if you want to make certain that you’re choosing an American-made piece. 

Return Policy: 100 days | Warranty Policy: 1 year or lifetime, depending on product | Delivery Options: Parcel, entryway, white glove options | Payment Options: Bread Pay

Maiden Home

Maiden Home Furniture displayed in living room in front of window

Maiden Home

What We Like
  • Individually made pieces with unique variations

  • Materials sourced from sustainably managed forests

  • Luxury details and finishes

What We Don't Like
  • Finish disparities can occur

  • Return fee of 10 percent

Maiden Home is a furniture company that’s based in the U.S., 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 is furniture that’s high-grade and durably constructed. 

While this American furniture maker occasionally does popup experiences, it primarily sells through its website, which is well-designed and easy to navigate. 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. The brand also is known 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. 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 Joinery

The Joinery

The Joinery

What We Like
  • Lifetime warranty

  • Furniture pieces are individually made

  • Appointments available on site

What We Don't Like
  • 20- to 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 shop for bed frames, nightstands, and dining tables, as well as 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. Still, we love that the company provides a lifetime warranty on residential furniture for the original owner.

Return Policy: 14 days | Warranty Policy: Lifetime | Delivery Options: Customer pickup, curbside delivery, white glove delivery (depending on delivery location)  | Payment Options: Not listed

Stickley

Stickley

Stickley

What We Like
  • Over 100 years of experience

  • Uses high-quality hardwoods

  • Lengthy warranty

What We Don't Like
  • 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 also features 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 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

Vaughan-Bassett

Vaughan-Bassett

Vaughan-Bassett

What We Like
  • French dovetail construction

  • Over 100 years of experience

  • Replants trees as a sustainability practice

What We Don't Like
  • No online ordering

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 in 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 that 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: Determined by dealer | Warranty Policy: 1 year | Delivery Options: Determined by dealer | Payment Options: Not listed

Allform

Allform

Allform

What We Like
  • Free swatches

  • Highly durable fabrics

  • Furniture made with kiln-dried wood

  • Free delivery

What We Don't Like
  • Only sells seating options

  • Production time can take up to 10 weeks

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.

The brand also 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 that you get the look you want.

In terms of quality, Allform uses fabrics that are scratch-, pill-, and stain-resistant. 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 three- to four-month projection.

Return Policy: 100 days | Warranty Policy: Forever | Delivery Options: FedEx Ground | Payment Options: Affirm 3-, 6-, 12-month payments, and Katapult 

Schoolhouse

Schoolhouse Linen Check Tablecloth

Schoolhouse

What We Like
  • Wide range of products, including home decor

  • Interesting color options

  • Online sale section

What We Don't Like
  • Limited furniture options

  • Some items can’t be returned

Since its founding in 2003, Schoolhouse has 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, 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 that 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 in 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.

Return Policy: Restocking fee for returns for refunds | Warranty Policy: 1 year for light fixtures | Delivery Options: Standard shipping | Payment Options: Not listed

Vermont Woods Studio

Vermont Woods Studio

Vermont Woods Studio

What We Like
  • Sustainability-focused

  • Works with independent furniture makers

  • White glove delivery

  • Lifetime warranty

What We Don't Like
  • Limited color options

Vermont Woods Studios was started in Vermont in 2005, 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 Vermont, and its products can be purchased online or in its showroom at Stonehurst. In addition to selling high-quality and sustainably sourced hardwood furniture, the brand has made a marked investment in the environment, planting over 200,000 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. One added bonus is that the company sells 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 that 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

Sabai

Sabai The Essential Sofa

Sabai

What We Like
  • Free fabric swatches

  • Focus on sustainability

What We Don't Like
  • 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 buyback guarantee. 

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, and it features customer reviews to guide you. 

Return Policy: 30 days, fee is 10% of retail price | Warranty Policy: 1 year | Delivery Options: FedEx Home delivery, 2-6 weeks | Payment Options: No financing

Medley Home

Medley Home Credenza

Medley Home

What We Like
  • Eco friendly materials

  • In-home trial available, white glove delivery

What We Don't Like
  • Non-refundable shipping fees

  • Customer service not available on weekends

Since 2005, two brothers have been trying to create furniture that’s sustainable and 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 shop for 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 another perk that we particularly love about this American-made furniture retailer: 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 that 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

BenchMade Modern

BenchMade Modern

What We Like
  • Reasonable return process

  • Lifetime warranty

  • Modular options available

  • Wide range of color options

What We Don't Like
  • Limited furniture outside of seating options

  • Processing and shipping fees for returns after 14 days

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 U.S. 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).

While BenchMade Modern has a 100-day trial for made-to-order items, if you 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.

Return Policy: 14-100 days, depending on product | Warranty Policy: Lifetime | Delivery Options: Threshold and white glove | Payment Options: Affirm

The Appel Shop

The Appel Shop

The Appel Shop

What We Like
  • Wide range of size options available

  • Varied farmhouse-inspired product selection

  • Uses sustainably sourced wood

What We Don't Like
  • No free shipping to Hawaii or 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 ships its furniture nationally through its solid website, with free shipping around the continental U.S.

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. In terms of style, you can expect to find mainly farmhouse items.

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

Final Verdict

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 that you’ll have pieces designed to last you a long time, unlike so-called fast furniture. Henry tells us that construction details are key clues to 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. With these tips 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 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 off with 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 that 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. Fortunately, there is no shortage of American-made furniture brands that use high-quality materials and cover the spectrum of 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, 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 have longer wait times, as it needs to be built. It may also 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 so you can get 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 avenues 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 that 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.

FAQ
  • How can you tell if furniture is of good quality?

    There are a handful of ways to ensure that 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. 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 notes that metal furniture can last you for some time, she says, “Wood, particularly hard woods such as mahogany, oak, ash, teak, or walnut, make the most durable furniture.” She tells us that with those 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 shop for furniture, as the spring and fall are 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 do not follow these trends. As a result, it may be worth setting alerts or signing up for email notifications from these brands so you won’t miss out.
