Fast Fashion Furniture
You may have heard of “fast fashion”: the “American” companies paying appallingly low salaries to women(& even children!) in countries like Bangladesh & India where the working conditions are poor & even dangerous. Companies like H&M & Forever 21 take pride in their “low” prices, but take no consideration of the impact on the environment around them or the humans they employ. (The True Cost documentary on Netflix is extremely eye opening for more information on this topic!)
You may have already come to know these things about your clothes, but what about your furniture?
Most of this furniture is made overseas with toxic materials.
Most even made in factories with underpaid employees.
It may be a good price, but at what cost?
Over the past two years, we have made it our mission to source our materials for our pieces from local & ethical sources.
Slowly we have been making the switch to companies for our paints & stains that are non-toxic & use ethical practices for their products. These businesses, like Rubio Monocoat, use environmentally safe materials that you can feel safe putting around your children, pets, & yourself.
Is this the most cost “effective” way of building furniture? Certainly not. But we’ve seen the damage of what cutting corners can do to the integrity of furniture, not to mention our society as a whole.
Our care for our customers & our passion for building furniture that will last you a lifetime is what leads us to use this knowledge as a catalyst for change here at Clines Crafted Woodworking LLC.
We want to help our wonderful followers gain more knowledge about what goes into building the furniture for their homes. We want to help YOU create your dream custom piece that will stand the test of time.
