We received a 40' container at our Van Nuys, California location yesterday. It contained mixed freight including 30 tables 8' to 16' in length and a dozen organic consoles. So, where do these come from? The short answer is Thailand. The process starts with obtaining reclaimed wood. The wood is obtained from areas that are cleared for a variety of reasons. The wood isn't grown to made furniture. In the case of the tables we just brought in, we bought a large section of a tree that was reclaimed and had it sliced to our specifications. The slabs are thick. The wood is then cleaned up and dried, finished and fitted with legs. We keep these in our Thailand warehouse and ship to California with our logistics company as we need them. Being in control of the entire process allows us to have the product we want and being to offer it at an extremely good value. It's also rewarding to us to know that the wood is responsibly obtained.
