Top Furniture Retailers Using More Sustainable, Reclaimed Wood

High Point, N.C. - The Sustainable Furnishings Council (SFC) and the National Wildlife Federation (NWF)'s 2025 Wood Furniture Scorecard assesses top furniture retailers' commitment to responsible sourcing practices. The eighth annual Scorecard reveals that most retailers' results remain consistent and top performers continue to lead by example, but notes that the industry faces an urgent need to accelerate action against deforestation and strengthen stewardship of forest resources.

The Scorecard empowers consumers to make informed choices and challenges companies to go beyond incremental progress toward transformative change. Companies that prioritize reclaimed and certified wood achieve top scores, as verified sourcing and reuse practices are among the most effective ways to reduce deforestation risk and improve sustainability performance.

"The Wood Furniture Scorecard continues to shine a light on retailers who are making responsible sourcing a priority," said Scarlette Tapp, SFC Executive Director. "Our eighth year demonstrates that consistent commitment to certified and reclaimed wood is the most effective way to reduce deforestation, improve forest management, protect biodiversity, and drive meaningful change in the industry. Top and high scorers show that sustainability is not a one-time achievement but a long-term commitment. In today's complex global supply chains, maintaining high standards year after year is a true mark of leadership."

"The Scorecard highlights the consistency of the top performers and empowers consumers to make informed choices to purchase furniture from brands committing to wildlife-friendly furniture," said Nathalie Walker, associate vice president of International Tropical Forests and Agriculture at the National Wildlife Federation.

Key findings from the 2025 Wood Furniture Scorecard include:

●Several top retailers continue to focus on offering FSC® wood furniture, which certifies products use sourcing practices that are environmentally sound.

●Some top-scorers such as Kase Customs and re.dwell use only reclaimed wood, reducing the need for additional deforestation.

●Retailers are increasingly adopting robust sourcing policies, maintaining transparency, and using certified or reclaimed materials - especially important in a challenging global economy.

●Top scorers like Model No., Sabai, Room & Board, and Williams-Sonoma, Inc. illustrate that sustainability is a continuous effort. For example, Room & Board increased sustainably sourced wood in the last year from 95% to 98% and diverted 400 urban trees from the waste stream-an increase from 300 the previous year.

●Two newcomers achieved Top Score rankings: MasayaCo., an FSC-Chain of Custody certificate holder based in Nicaragua, and Sonoma Restorations, a California company using only reclaimed wood, while Ethan Allen, 2024's Most Improved, moved into the High Score category for the first time.
