ABOUT US / GREEN COMMITMENT
We rely on vendors who support the environment in their manufacturing process. This includes vendors who use wood waste of post consumer goods and engineer it to exhibit properties superior to traditional woods. Many also insist that their own manufacturers are part of a reforestation program.
