7 Places to Shop for Furniture That’s Made in the United States
Designing a space that looks and feels like an extension of you can be so exciting — particularly if you’ve spent years living with hand-me-downs and mismatched finds. But sourcing new furniture can also be quite the project. For starters, there’s a seemingly never-ending list of places to find everything that’s needed under one roof, from a space-saving dining table and versatile bed to a stylish-yet-comfortable sofa and throw pillows.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, shopping for new furniture has historically been, well, expensive. And with the United States in the middle of a major tariff war, the price of furnishings will likely increase if they’re made overseas. One way to save money on new home decor in the midst of this economic uncertainty is to buy products made in America. And luckily, the Apartment Therapy editors know exactly where to shop.
The editors at Apartment Therapy have spent many years reviewing every kind of home furnishing — from beds to sofas to rugs — using extensive testing and research in their own homes, so they know when a sofa is truly firm enough to withstand a big family or comfortable enough for a midday nap.
They know which beds stand the test of time — and life — and which aren’t exactly worth the long-term investment. They leave no specs overlooked and review the assembly required or delivery service options through the same thoughtful lens you would. Basically, what they recommend to readers is exactly what they’d tell their closest friends to buy.
Bolstered by a commitment to community and transparency, Apartment Therapy’s sharing a helpful guide to American-made furniture brands for every room in your home to help you save money as you buy things for your home. If you’re interested in supporting American-made home goods for your next purchase, this list of retailers will hopefully be your guide as you navigate buying new furniture and saving money where you can.
How Do You Know if a Product Is Made in America?
According to the Federal Trade Commission, “all or virtually all” of a product must be constructed within the U.S. in order to receive this distinction, and doing so sidesteps any additional fees imposed by tariffs. The good news: Adhering to American-made options when shopping for home decor could potentially save you money, especially on larger purchases like furniture.
So where should you begin when looking for American-made furniture and home decor? We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite furniture brands that feature products made in the U.S., and included pieces that can match a range of styles and budgets. Many of them are editor-tested and approved. Read on to get insights you can use now and save for later.

And as far as shopping goes, BenchMade Modern is just as thorough with its design offerings. Customizations span dozens of options, and most products come fully assembled. This brand is ideal if you want high-quality furnishings made to your exact specifications, with the confidence that the investment will last for many years.

Our Review
BenchMade Modern makes it easy for shoppers to get exactly what they envision, which is why this brand is best for those who are detail-oriented with a mid-size budget. Britt Franklin, a senior shopping editor, picked BenchMade Modern’s OG Couch Potato Sofa because she wanted a fabric that was durable for pets and could cover a substantial size: 95 inches. Her customizations came in the form of a real-size printout, which is free for all customers, ensuring that she’d choose wisely.
“Once the delivery team left and I was able to finally sit down, I was pleasantly surprised by the sofa’s support,” she said in her review. “The wide arms are cushioned on the top and sturdy around the frame, so it was immediately clear that the sofa was well-constructed, and the fabric looked just like the swatch.”
But if you’re not in the market for a big-ticket item, you can still shop Benchmade Modern’s catalog. In her review of the brand, AT contributor Caroline Mullen says, “As for smaller items like rugs, lamps, and tables, they’re drop-shipped to your door in one to three weeks.”

Apt2B
Founded in 2010 as a direct-to-consumer furniture brand when showrooms were still the most prevalent way to buy a couch, Apt2B has since perfected its collection of mostly mid-century styles that can be customized according to size, fabric, and orientation. While not all of its products are made in the States, there are collections of sofas and beds that warrant the label and can be delivered in a month — customizations, on the other hand, can take up to six weeks. Like its name suggests, Apt2B is worth a browse if you live in a small space and need to stick to a tighter budget (or both).
The Details You Need to Know
- Sofas: From $1,300 to $4,100
- Beds: From $1,200 to $3,000
- White glove delivery service available
Our Review
Maximizing space is often very important to Apartment Therapy contributors and readers, so when Britt had a chance to review Apt2B’s Sonnelino Sleeper Sofa, that’s what she was prioritizing. Seeking out furnishings that can pull double-duty on a budget can be a challenge, but according to her review this Apt2B sofa is worth a look — and there are plenty of complementary alternatives that will likely do the same.
“The leather upholstery is smooth and soft, with a gorgeous natural texture that adds to its elegance,” she wrote. “Our sofa has three cushions for the seats and back that provide optimal support, making the sofa cozy and comfortable whether you’re sitting on it or lying across it. I also love that it doesn’t feel overly stiff like a showpiece I’m not allowed to touch. This sofa fits seamlessly into our home and will be great to use when guests come to visit for the summer and holiday seasons.”

Schoolhouse
Based in Portland since 2003 and known for its cozy Scandinavian feel, Schoolhouse’s catalog encompasses every room in a home and prioritizes clean lines and bold details. While not every item they offer is made in America — be sure to check the product descriptions to be sure — there are plenty of well-crafted pieces that fit that bill and the company’s promise of creating heirlooms from sustainably sourced materials. That being said, Schoolhouse’s furnishings are more of an investment than a budget-friendly find, but you can find distinctive accessories that won’t feel like too much of a splurge. Either way, plan to turn your deliveries into coveted hand-me-downs over time.
The Details You Need to Know
- Orders are shipped from Portland, Oregon; in-stock items ship within 10 business days
- Oversized furnishings are shipped by third-party vendors
Our Review
Schoolhouse is suited to design enthusiasts who want the feel of a lived-in home without all the patience. When AT contributor Jennifer Billock was hoping to balance her inherited furnishings with equally cozy-yet-new items, she called on designer Ana Cvetkovic, principal of Philadelphia-based Rowhome Design, for help. She picked accessories that Billock can hold onto for the long haul, like a quilt and coffee table, knowing that this brand’s catalog is all about embracing a classic feel. Think of it this way: If you follow through on a Schoolhouse pick that you’ve loved for a long time, chances are you can love it forever.

Maiden Home
Founder Nidhi Kapur started Maiden Home to fit between the cost-conscious offerings of big-box stores and the expensive options at New York City boutiques. It features pieces for living rooms, dining spaces, and bedrooms. The fabric options are mostly decadent, like merino and mohair, which is why the prices may seem steep. Nevertheless, there are dozens of ways to customize the furnishings to your exact specifications — particularly if you’re looking for larger items for a big family. Take note, though: Not every item in Maiden Home’s collection is constructed in the U.S., but two highly important furnishings are: beds and sofas.
The Details You Need to Know
- Beds: From $2,325 to $3,950
- Sofas: From $2,375 to $5,800
- U.S. Shipping excludes Alaska and Hawaii
Our Review
One of the most popular sofas in Maiden Home’s collection is called The Dune, and it’s worth considering if you want to clean up messes more easily. In our review of the brand we wrote: “The entire sofa has a removable slipcover that’s machine-washable, if you choose a performance fabric, which definitely comes in handy for spills!” Furthermore, there are multiple options that are sized for groups, so you can hold on to this investment as your family grows.

Room & Board
Founded in 1980 and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Room & Board has a reputation for crafting classic silhouettes with modern updates, which means that many of its pieces can fit a range of design styles. It employs about 12,000 craftspeople working throughout the country, and ships just about anything you’d need in your home — from vanities and bookcases to dressers and sectionals.
About 90% of its catalog is made in the U.S., and the entirety of the company is owned by its employees. Lastly, Room & Board has committed to sourcing all of its wood sustainably by the end of the year. Shop this brand if you want on-trend and super-comfortable sofas that will become timeless with age, alongside accessories that won’t quite break your budget.
The Details You Need to Know
- Bunk and loft beds for kids are available, from $2,399 to $3,099
- A flat rate of $159 for full-service delivery is applied to all orders
- A clearance section has items up to 50 percent off its original price
Our Review
Back in 2017, contributor Arlyn Hernandez and a group of AT editors tested Room & Board’s sofas at its Manhattan showroom, hoping to land on winners they could recommend to readers. They came up with a criteria to rate each seat, from depth to height to softness, and provided their honest opinions about their favorites. The Metro sectional is still available, and comes in 30 different sizing options — exemplifying the versatility that makes this brand worthwhile.
“I love the feel of down cushions (although they take maintenance), so to me this was perfect in softness,” Hernandez wrote. “Very mushy. Would make an excellent family sofa.” And just last year, contributor Nina Derwin reviewed the company’s Slim Console Table, an American-made option that can be used in small spaces and family homes alike. “Whether you have a small, cozy home like mine or you want to put your favorite decor pieces on display, the Slim Console Table is a beautifully designed piece that can do just that,” Derwin said.

The Joinery
The Joinery began as a one-person furniture repair shop back in 1982, and has since established itself as a reliable source of craftsmanship out of Portland, Oregon. All of its products are designed and built in the Pacific Northwest, and showcase an attention to detail that can be rare for new pieces these days — namely, a prevalence of dovetail construction.
Customizations are limited to types of high-quality wood and finishes, but what’s lacking in the scope of potential changes is balanced by the classic beauty of each piece. Given the care that goes into this catalog, patience is required. Some pieces can take up to 15 weeks before delivery, but once they arrive they’ll stay just as beautiful for generations to come.
The Details You Need to Know
- Showroom pieces are available immediately; made-to order items can take 10 to 15 weeks
- The furniture structure and wood materials have a lifetime warranty
