Mission at Home

Here are just a few of the ways we’re making a meaningful difference in our community: We’ve replaced over 2,000 fluorescent bulbs across our 400,000-square-foot campus with energy-efficient LEDs. In 2017, we took this initiative a step further by hosting a “Waste Not Watt Not” event. Partnering with Air Cycle Corporation, we safely disposed of thousands of old fluorescent bulbs using a custom rig that captured all off-gassing, preventing harmful emissions that would have otherwise occurred if the bulbs were simply discarded.

That same year, we adopted Finch Avenue in High Point, NC, as part of the city’s clean-up program. As the caretakers of the street where our main warehouse is located, we were among the first furniture companies in the area to join the Adopt a Street initiative. We hope our commitment inspires others in the community to take similar steps toward environmental stewardship.

In our warehousing and product preparation processes, we focus on minimizing waste at every stage. This includes optimizing how we pack, move, and store products throughout our facility. To combat inefficiencies like product damage from mishandling or moisture content issues, we’ve built dehumidifying rooms in our warehouse. These rooms help us quickly reduce moisture levels, ensuring our products are received and stored in optimal conditions.

When it comes to finishing our wood tables, we prioritize environmental impact by using water-based stains and low VOC sealers and topcoats. Even our spray equipment is optimized for maximum coverage, significantly reducing the amount of material needed for each piece.

We’ve also reimagined our use of bubble wrap with sustainability in mind. By partnering with Atlantic Packaging, we now receive compact rolls of unfilled bubble wrap—essentially plastic wrap without the bubbles. With a specialized machine, we produce bubble wrap on-site and on-demand, eliminating the need for bulky, pre-filled rolls that were inefficient to ship and took up valuable warehouse space. This new system allows us to create only what we need, exactly when we need it, saving space and reducing waste.
