We only use water based, lead free,
environmentally friendly paints. We use only domestic hardwood lumber
from managed & sustainable forests, and we do not use Chip Board,
Particle Board or MDF in the furniture we produce here in Minneapolis,
and yes, you heard us right, we do produce our furniture in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. We are a Family Owned American Company, producing American
Products with American Employees! #1. We at Relics
have always used Water Based Paints & Clear Coats that are 100% lead
free & environmentally friendly. Yep, even 13 years ago when we started
our company in Moms garage, we started by using only water based
products. Most other companies that produce furniture and picture
frames, use Solvent Based Paints and Lacquers. Solvent based Paints &
Lacquers are commercially easier to use because they reduce the dry time
of painted or stained finishes, and they do expedite the manufacturing
process, however they are NOT easier on people or our atmosphere. #2. We at Relics
have always used Wood Products from Managed Sustainable Mid-Western
Forests. In fact, the original wood we used when we first started
producing “New” products, was Basswood harvested only from trees that
had naturally died & fallen in the forest. Eventually, in order to keep
up with demand for our items, we needed a larger supply of Basswood. We
have since turned to wood suppliers that have contracts with their local
& state governments to clear paths for highway & road projects. The
overwhelming majority of the wood we use is from trees that are pre
destined for cutting. #3. We have
always manufactured our furniture in Minneapolis, MN. USA. We employ
Americans & we produce a great American product. It is true that we do
offer a small amount of imported items that we purchase unfinished and
sell finished, however over 97% of the items we offer are made right
here in Minneapolis, MN. USA. Some of the items we sell, but do not
produce, come In these times when consumers are craving
a clear choice of good products, we at Relics stand tall & declare that
we are that choice. We use all water based finishes, domestic hardwoods
& local American craftsmen. On top of that, we offer nearly unlimited
choices of color & have fun timeless furniture designs. How many others
can say that? How many other furniture companies may instead be
importing 90-100% of their products from Asian countries, Eastern Europe
or elsewhere? How many of those overseas factories do you think use
environmentally friendly manufacturing processes? We think that for those customers who are
concerned about the environment, & our domestic labor force, Relics is
the clear choice.. Thanks for selecting Relics Furniture. We look forward
to furnishing you. |
