We firmly believe that every element making up our pieces should be of the highest standard. That is why we made a conscious decision to avoid using plywood or softwood in any part of our designs. Plywood and softwood, often utilized for its lower cost and flexibility, can compromise the durability and sturdiness of furniture. By excluding plywood softwood from our manufacturing process and exclusively using FSC Certified Hardwood, we ensure that our designs are built to last, capable of withstanding the test of time. At Archer Furniture, we strive to create pieces that not only enhance living spaces but also establish a lasting legacy of timeless beauty and exceptional craftsmanship.

By utilizing mortise and tenon joinery in the construction of our shelves, we guarantee their longevity and strength. Unlike other types of joinery that may weaken over time, our shelves remain steadfast, holding up against constant use and heavy loads. Whether you choose to display cherished possessions or stack your favorite books, rest assured that our shelves will never fall apart.

We are commited to sustainability at all points of our production, from reusing and donating waste material, to exlusively using FSC Certified hardwood. FSC certification ensures that the wood used in our designs comes from responsibly managed forests, promoting sustainability and environmental conservation. With FSC Certified North American Walnut and White Ash, our designs not only exude timeless elegance but also contribute to the preservation of our planet's natural resources.
