Looking for furniture that is natural, eco-friendly, and affordable? Look no further than the simplicity of platform frames and folding couches made from fast-growing, sustainable, domestically farmed Southern Yellow Pine from our friends at Collegiate Furniture.
Some facts about Southern Yellow Pine:
Southern Yellow Pine is a clean, renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable, and energy-efficient building material. It grows fast and is literally farmed just like a food crop. 199 million acres of pine forest are replanted in the southeast US every year!
* Pine forests are good for the planet! They absorb carbon dioxide and release pure oxygen as they grow. And since minimal processing is required to turn trees into workable lumber, pine is a much more energy efficient building material than metals, plastics, and even other wood products!
* Southern Yellow Pine is the most sustainably renewed species of tree in the world! 3/4 of all new seedlings planted in the US every year are Southern Yellow Pine trees - that's over 1 billion trees!
* The pine furniture we carry is natural and unfinished, so it is absolutely non-toxic! And frankly, it's also biodegradable - if you're done with a particular piece of our pine furniture and don't feel like passing it on to someone else, just bury it and it will eventually decompose and return back to the earth.
