Hand-built Furniture Made In the U.S.
While some report that the manufacturing sector in the U.S. is shrinking, the fact is that some manufacturers in the U.S. are thriving.
Furniture is generally expensive; therefore, I believe that if you’re going to spend a lot of money on furniture, you should spend your money on quality furniture.
My wife and I shopped around quite a bit before ordering our dining room set. We found that in many cases mis-made Asian imports cost nearly as much as, and in some cases cost more than, high quality American products. We decided to purchase chairs, a table, and a corner cabinet built by Tom Seely Furniture, which manufactures antique furniture reproductions by hand, one piece at at time. Their furniture is manufactured in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio by expert craftsmen and craftswomen. I expect that the furniture we purchased will last well beyond my own lifetime.
If you live in Northern Virginia and like traditional-style furniture, I highly recommend shopping for furniture at The Miller House, located in Stephens City. The owners offer great advice, outstanding customer service, and fair pricing. Their store carries Tom Seely Furniture, as well as other quality American brands.
