ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVE NO. 1
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.
5,000
The total number of trees planted in 2016, the year we began our pledge
170,450
The total number of trees planted between 2017 and 2023
32,000
Trees planted in 2023, our biggest annual number to date.
29,600
The amount of trees we’re committing to replanting in 2024
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™.

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.
