  • It's not really easy to find it , is it? Most
    Americans think of North Carolina as the nice
    furniture capitol of the USA, but within the past
    30 decades, that has changed.
  • The furniture firms people think of as being
    quintessentially American -- such as Thomasville,
    Broyhill, Ethan Allen and Lane -- no more make
    much, if any furniture in the united states.
    Instead they outsource their furniture to
    factories in China, Vietnam and other third world
    countries.

  • So where can one go to seek out authentic, high
    quality, handmade wood furniture? It turns out
    that Vermont is now considered by many to be the
    fine furniture capitol of the nation.
  • By unofficial count, a few 2000 small wood
    furniture manufacturers dot the rural Vermont
    countryside, using this heavily forested
    character of our state for supply of organic

  • Vermont has traditionally been home to a vibrant
    cottage industry of people, working in all kinds
    of media, such as native hardwoods. Wood
    furniture manufacturers from all around the world
    flock to Vermont to practice their craft from the
    Green Mountain state.

  • A thriving community of woodworkers has evolved,
    bringing Vermont families who have practiced
    woodworking for centuries and newcomers who've
    brought new and different aspects of the craft
    into the area. Shoppers come from around the
    world to shop in the little furniture studios and
    showrooms belonging to those craftsmen and women.
