In other side, trying to furnish your house with chairs, tables and sofas that are not harmful to you or your environment can be very difficult, either because the price for solid wood furniture with low (or no) toxins is prohibitively expensive or simply unavailable.
Furniture restoration maybe a right solution. Restoring old furniture can be eco-friendly on many levels. By restoring your furniture, you are:
- decreasing demand for virgin lumber, helping to save forests
- reducing by one chair or table the volume of a landfill, and often the carbon emissions from its transfer to a landfill far away
- improving indoor air quality and the local environment through the use of eco-friendly paints, primers and polishes
