After writing about new, sustainable dining room furniture, I got to thinking about an even more earth-friendly option — furnishings made from reclaimed wood. The wood is sourced from fallen trees or salvaged from old buildings and barns. Rich with an aged patina that is lacking in new wood furniture, these pieces using reclaimed wood are stable and strong and will last a lifetime. Whether you are looking for solid wood tables, chairs, benches, hutches, armoires, beds & headboards, these furniture makers have it covered. They also handcraft each piece and typically use eco-friendly stains and paints or leave furniture in a natural, unfinished state.
