The 15 Best American-Made Furniture Companies of 2023
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.
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.”

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 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 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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 (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 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.

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).

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 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 that fit seamlessly into the mid-century modern mold 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.

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 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. 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 and features honest customer reviews. Just be sure to read the product descriptions beforehand if you want to make certain that you’re choosing an American-made piece.

As the name implies, AllModern is your place to go for modern furniture. 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 for chic looks. Selling everything from stylish couches like the Geo Upholstered Sofa to tufted area rugs, AllModern has it all. This American-made furniture company has physical storefronts, but only two, 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 the majority of its furniture is American-made in the North Carolina mountains. Some pieces are imported, so you’ll want to double-check the product details as you shop to ensure the items you’re interested in are truly American-made.
Some customers feel that AllModern furniture quality doesn’t match the price on some products. Fortunately, the surplus of reviews you’ll find online provides legitimate insight into what you’ll be getting, so be sure to read those.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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, 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. Custom-built furniture will take slightly longer. Fortunately, Maiden Home offers white glove delivery for some of its more substantial pieces.

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.
