Before
you could even find a green living furniture store you could still find
sustainable furniture under a different name. Furniture made by the
Amish and Shakers could have been classified as green because it lasted
so long and did not fill up landfills. In addition, it did not contain
materials that were not biodegradable.
However, Amish and Shaker furniture is handmade and normally quite
expensive. Now that consumer demand has grown for sustainable furniture,
a green living furniture store might be in your neighborhood. You can
certainly find one online.
A green living furniture store will have bedroom furniture such as
a bed frame, bureau, and a mirror. It will also feature patio furniture
such as a chaise lounge, a side table, and an ottoman. You will also
be able to find office furniture that meets standards set by The Business
Industrial Furniture Manufacturers Association that will be put in place
before the end of 2008.
