It seems Made in the USA is catching on according to this article from the trade publication Furniture Today.
“Retailers tell us that a growing number of consumers are coming into their stores and asking for furniture that is made in the USA,” said Becki Gould, director of marketing for Saloom.

Love your blog, mine is similar. I want to share an experience with you about furniture. We just moved to AZ and we went to a high end furniture store and bought a bedroom outfit and a table/trunk. We paid a lot of money for these items. When they were delivered I was so disappointed to find that they all came from China. Had I known that I wouldn’t have bought any of it. We’ve had the furniture for about 2 wks now and inside the drawers has an awful chemical smell. I have tried everything to get rid of it and it is still there. Needless to say I can’t put any clothes in there. I really learned a lesson with that. I was surprised to find that it is very difficult to find furniture made here now. I am on the hunt for a dining room table and I am searching high and low for one made here. If you know of any in the AZ area please let me know. Thanks, and keep up the good work,
