We value our environment:

We plant 5 new trees in U.S. National Forests for every solid wood desk sold. By partnering with the National Forest Foundation, we're able to plant tens of thousands of new trees each year Solar powered operations: Our Austin facilities produce over a megawatt of electricity through roof-mounted solar panels on three large warehouses

We use sustainable materials in our products. Some examples are:

Bamboo Desktops, Drawers, & Motion Boards: The world's fastest-growing plant, Moso bamboo is a grass that grows as quickly as an inch an hour Eco Curve Desktops: Eco Curve desktops use 100% recycled MDF and have the lowest carbon footprint in the industry due to not using edgebanding, backer boards, adhesives, or solvents
