Is This Furniture Made in the USA? Here’s Why It Matters

When you're investing in furniture, it's natural to ask where—and how—it's made.

At Fly By Night, we believe country of origin isn't just a label. It says a lot about the materials, labor practices, environmental impact, and craftsmanship that go into every piece. It’s a story of how something is built and who’s behind it.

American-made furniture still matters. The quality control is tighter. The materials tend to be better. Labor standards are more ethical. And sourcing regionally means a smaller carbon footprint. Plus, you’re supporting U.S. jobs and small, often family-run manufacturers. You’re not just buying a table—you’re keeping a network of skilled craftspeople and sustainable practices alive right here at home.

We’re proud to carry a range of American-made lines. From American Leather in Texas, to Younger and Jonathan Louis in North Carolina and California, to natural mattresses from Berkeley Ergonomics and Gold Bond. You’ll also find solid wood furniture from West Virginia’s Gat Creek, Vermont’s Maple Corners and Copeland, and our own Noho Bedroom line, handcrafted right here in Western Mass. These pieces aren’t mass-produced. They’re built to order, built to last, and built with integrity.

That said, imported doesn’t automatically mean inferior. We carry a few select European lines that meet our same high standards—sustainable materials, thoughtful design, and transparent labor practices. Our vendor list stays short on purpose. If we carry a brand, it’s because we stand behind it.

No matter where a piece comes from—Massachusetts, Vermont, California, or overseas—it’s been vetted by our team for quality and values. We believe in buying thoughtfully, and we’ll gladly walk you through how and where something was made.
