More Trees, Please

We’ve made a pledge to recultivate the forests around us with our tree planting program, Returning to our Roots™. Our saplings stay within the Appalachian region of the U.S., where our materials are sourced, and where our furniture is then built and sold.

and Counting

Our mission is to make high-quality goods that are built to last - but we’re committed to caring for the environment in the process. Here’s how we’re doing exactly that through Returning to our Roots™…

We Plant Purposefully

This is all about giving back what we take away, so for every Bench Made style we sell, we plant two trees in its place.

We Plant Responsibly

We use a variety of saplings to create a healthy and diverse environment that feels as natural as possible.

We Plant Together

Our team members participate in the planting each year as a way for us to work together towards a greater good.

Material World

We’re mindful of the materials we use, and we’re committed to recycling as many of them as we possibly can. That includes everything from packing products to wood dust to leftover fabric scraps. Here’s just a snapshot of the impact we’ve made thus far…

Built to Last

Crafted to a higher standard.

About 75% of what Bassett sells is built, assembled, finished and upholstered in the USA by artisans who take pride in their craft.
