When I was curating furniture and decor for my first home, I was well-prepared for sourcing furniture and textile-based decor like pillows given all of the research I’ve done over the years for my guides. But mirrors presented a new challenge: what makes a mirror “sustainable”? And are there any style-forward sustainable mirrors to choose from? And how do I source something like a full-length sustainable mirror within a reasonable budget?

This guide is the result of all of that research — mirrors from companies I purchased from and others I researched but didn’t ultimately select for my own space.

What to Look for in a Sustainable Mirror:

Most mirrors are made from glass and reflective metal with a frame. Some lighter weight or “shatterproof” mirrors use transparent acrylic or polycarbonate — in other words: plastic. If sustainability is something you’re looking for I’d avoid those materials, as they’re directly derived from fossil fuels.

Here’s what else to keep in mind.

Note that this guide includes affiliate links, meaning if you make a purchase through some of these links, we may earn a commission which enables us to keep creating resources just like this one. As always, these are brands that meet high standards for sustainability and are brands we truly love — and that we think you’ll love too!

Search for Secondhand Mirrors

Shopping for pre-loved mirrors keeps existing mirrors out of the landfill while reducing the need for new production. (Get tips for shopping secondhand home goods here.)

Local Secondhand Options:

• Local thrift shops and furniture resale stores
• Estate sales or garage sales
• Apps like Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp for local pickups

Online Secondhand Options:

While these options are typically priced a bit higher (and may involve shipping fees) they can be more convenient and curated than the above options. These resources do all the work of inspection, cleaning, and delivery for you.

1. AptDeco is best for big name brands at lower prices. The resale site has gently used, mid-market furniture (think West Elm and Ethan Allen) for prices that are anywhere from 10-85% lower than new.
2. Chairish is best for unique finds and investment pieces. The vintage site has a stunning, curated selection of everything from art deco mirrors to traditional 19th century mirrors.
3. Happy Vintage Studio is best for vintage accent mirrors. This “star seller” on Etsy has plenty of one-of-a-kind mirrors of all shapes and sizes — and at quite reasonable prices for vintage, too. You can get the pieces delivered or do a local pickup if you’re near the Virginia-based seller.

Responsible Materials

If shopping new, look for mirrors with eco-friendly frames. As I mentioned, the mirror itself doesn’t vary all that much (just make sure it’s glass, not plastic!). The frames, though, can vary quite a bit. Most mass-production mirrors are made with metal frames or pressed wood, potentially sourced irresponsibly. Instead look for mirrors made from materials like sustainably-sourced or reclaimed wood, bamboo, rattan, or recycled metal.

Working Conditions & Craftsmanship

The people aspect of sustainability is just as important to consider. Does the brand publish information about how the mirror was made and if the makers earned fair, living wages? If they worked in safe conditions and had benefits? There are some certifications like Fair Trade Certified factories, though this is still rare among furniture companies unfortunately.

Where to Find Sustainable Mirrors

Sustainable home decor shopping isn’t easy, but I’ve done a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Check out the following vetted sources to find responsibly-made more sustainable mirrors.

2. Green Row

Best for: Artful mirrors that add real character

This sustainable furniture and decor brand is newer to the scene, and I only recently learned about it. Part of the Williams Sonoma family, Green Row was founded with sustainability at its foundation — with decades of design and sourcing experience behind it.

Green Row’s mirror collection leans into artisan techniques you don’t see often in mainstream home decor: from bone hand-inlaid onto mango wood frames and reverse-painted etched glass (made in India) to natural shell inlay(Philippines). Each piece is framed as an effort to preserve traditional handcraft techniques, so the natural variation between pieces is part of the character. (They do use MDF for backings, though.)

Conscious Qualities: Mango Wood and Rattan Frames, Artisan-Made, Cultural Craft Preservation

Price Range: $219 (accent mirror) – $5,000 (hand-sculpted Venetian glass mirror)

Browse Green Row

3. Village Thrive

Best for: Rattan mirrors in playful, artisan-made shapes

Village Thrive partners with an artisan collective of over 100 makers in Kerobokan, Bali, handcrafting rattan mirrors sustainably sourced on the island. Beyond the classic round and rectangle shapes, they offer genuinely distinctive silhouettes — think arches, crescent moons, blooms, an “opened eye” shape, and a rainbow.

One of the touches I appreciate is that Village Thrive sells “imperfect” mirrors with slight cosmetic damage at a discount, rather than discarding them — this is both a way to reduce waste from the handcraft process, and a good option if you’re not picky about flawless decor and want to save some money.

Conscious Qualities: Ethically Artisan-Made, Natural Materials

Price Range: $111 (imperfect option) – $285

Browse Village Thrive

4. VivaTerra

Best for: Organic and antique accent mirrors

Green lifestyle retailer VivaTerra offers a selection of sustainably-crafted home decor and furniture, including mirrors.

Among their current available options are a hand-hammered antique brass framed mirror made by their artisan partners and a woven flower-shaped mirror crafted from cane.

Conscious Qualities: Artisan-Made, Natural Frame Options

Price Range: $249 – $329

Browse VivaTerra

5. What We Make

Best for: handcrafted solid wood mirrors

Made from sustainably-sourced American hardwood by a woodworking studio in Pittsburgh, these are not your average mirrors.

Each timeless mirror is handmade to order with heirloom quality joinery and a mirror glass with hardboard backing (to make it easily replaceable). Choose between Walnut, natural White Oak, or White Oak with a black finish.

Conscious Qualities: Sustainably-Sourced Hardwood, Made to Order in the US

Price Range: $995 – $1,495

Honorable mention:

West Elm – Natural Fiber Mirrors

Furniture retailer West Elm has several accent mirrors made with natural rattan. The natural mirrors blend contemporary shapes with a textured frame for a beautiful modern on the boho interior aesthetic.

Best for: Contemporary mirrors with natural fiber frames

Price Range: $229 – $439

5 Sustainable Mirrors That Make for Stunning Wall Decor

Whether the family is sitting down for dinner in the kitchen or you and your roommates are marathoning Netflix in the living room, the sustainable tables from these brands will be your new gathering places for enjoying meals, drinks, and conversations together.

The sustainable table brands featured in this guide have furniture for any of your living and dining places:

• Dining tables,
• Side tables,
• Coffee tables, and
• Bar tables.

But first, you might be wondering: what is a sustainable table anyway?

What to Look for in a Sustainable Table

The word “sustainable” is used frequently and in so many different contexts that it can be difficult to pinpoint what exactly sustainable means.

That said, here are some key elements to consider when looking for your next coffee table, dining table, or desk.

Eco-Friendly Materials

When it comes to eco-friendly tables, wood is the most common material used because it’s a natural, renewable, and durable material that works with nearly any room or interior design style.

Note: If you find a brand that uses engineered wood or pressed wood, make sure to look on their website or ask about what adhesives are used. These products are often made from wood pieces that are bond together with glue that contains formaldehyde, which the EPA classifies as a “probable human carcinogen”.

Here’s what to look for to ensure sustainably-sourced wood:

• Reclaimed Wood. Using existing resources reduces waste and the need to cut down additional trees. Plus, reclaimed wood — especialcan add authentic character to your table!
• FSC-certified. The Forest Stewardship Council’s certification is the most widely used verification for responsible forestry practices. Just like any other large certification, the FSC seal is not perfect but can be an additional seal of approval to look for.
• Traceability. Look to see if the brand can tell you where the wood was sourced from. Usually, smaller furniture brands will be able to have more transparency and traceability of their supply chain!
• Local sourcing. Locally-sourced wood (from native or climate-appropriate trees) is preferable because sourcing locally reduces emissions from transportation.

Zero-VOC or Low-VOC Finishes

Similar to paints, finishes can contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Not only do VOCs create environmental hazards like air pollution and smog but they also pollute your indoor air too.

According to the EPA, health impacts of VOCs include:

• Eye, nose, and throat irritations
• Headaches and nausea
• Damage to the liver, kidney, and central nervous system
• Some VOCs are also known or suspected carcinogens

All too often we think of environmental sustainability as something separate from ourselves — something “out there in nature”.

But as with so many aspects of sustainability, what’s healthy for the environment is also often healthy for us as well — humans are, in fact, part of the environment. That’s why this sustainable table guide only includes non-toxic tables, too.

Other Sustainability Initiatives

Some other initiatives to look for from sustainable table brands include:

• Use of renewable energy to power their operations or the purchase of renewable energy credits to offset fossil fuel energy use.
• Take-back and/or repair programs to extend the life of their tables.
• Quality manufacturing that ensures durable products built to last.
• Trustworthy tree planting projects, especially if the company uses wood for their products.

Certifications

While not the end-all-be-all, certifications are third-party verifications that back up a company’s claim around sustainability, ethical sourcing, or non-toxic material use. Here are the certifications you might see for sustainable tables:

• FSC Certified = the wood sourcing was responsibly managed; this certification is imperfect but has a higher standard that Sustainable Forestry Initiative, as reported by environmental nonprofit Sierra Club
• GREENGUARD / GREENGUARD Gold Certified = the finished product was tested for low chemical emissions, with Gold representing the strictest tier
• Cradle-to-Cradle Certified = evaluates a product across material health, circularity, clean air/climate, water/soil stewardship, and social fairness; one of the only certifications that can assess a whole furniture product rather than a single material

Where to Find Sustainable Tables

Just as with fashion, looking secondhand first is a great way to find eco-friendly furniture at a more affordable price. Check out your local flea markets, secondhand stores, and keep an eye out for estate sales.

For online secondhand options, check out:

• Facebook Marketplace (owned by Meta of course, but does have the most options)
• OfferUp
• Chairish
• AptDeco

There are several tables with extendable designs too: each leaf adds 20 inches of length and seats two more people, and they’ll also sell you a matching bench sized specifically to slide beneath the table when not in use.

Because most of their tables are made with reclaimed wood (with a few exceptions — double check the product descriptions), expect some variations in the form of knots, splits, nail holes, weathering. It’s part of the character! Custom sizes are available on request, though lead times will vary based on when you order.

Best Locally Sourced Coffee Table: Sylvan Craft

Sylvan Craft’s heirloom-quality tables (and other furniture) are all crafted with care from solid wood by their Amish business partner. And it’s not just any wood — this is wood that was sourced from Sylvan Craft’s own sustainably managed forest. Since their entire process from harvest to finished furniture takes place within a 5 mile radius, this “hyper-local” business also boasts a small carbon footprint and impressive average 8-10 week lead times on delivery. Blanket-wrapped shipping also minimizes packaging waste.

On a mission to preserve and restore forests through sustainable forestry and land management, Sylvan Craft has a meticulous forest management plan that centers on forest health. They employ selective harvesting (i.e. prioritizing damaged or dead trees for their wood), plant a variety of tree species to promote forest biodiversity, and use low-impact timber removal practices instead of heavy machinery.

Sylvan Craft’s selection of sustainably-crafted tables includes end tables, sofa tables, coffee tables, dining tables, and benches.

Speaking of Copeland’s factory, the brand doesn’t stop at sourcing sustainable materials but also has a solar array installed on the factory’s property and uses wood waste to heat the building. And the tables are low-toxic with a GREENGUARD certified finish.

Sustainable Non-Toxic Sofas for Truly Restful Relaxation

The post 7 Sustainable Solid Wood Dining and Coffee Tables Built to Last appeared first on Conscious Life & Style.

7 Sustainable Solid Wood Dining and Coffee Tables Built to Last

Similar to sofas, finding sustainable armchairs is a tougher category than most other furnishings because there are just so many components to an upholstered chairs! There’s the wood frame and legs, but there’s also the foam, springs, upholstery fabric plus all the finishes on the fabric and wood.

So What Are More Sustainable Chairs?

Before we get into the brands, let’s talk about what I mean when I say “sustainable” — because there isn’t an objective definition to sustainable furniture, so it’s worth knowing how each writer or creator defines it.

Natural or Recycled Material Sourcing

Most armchairs are made with pressed wood (particleboard, MDF) made of glued wood pieces and virgin synthetic fibers derived from fossil fuels. When we think about sustainable armchairs, though, we’re looking for solid, responsibly sourced wood built to last; natural fibers like cotton and linen, or recycled synthetic options; and foam made from natural latex or at least from certified low-VOC synthetic foam.

Responsible and Sustainable Production Practices

Most armchairs are made in completely opaque conditions overseas by workers likely earning wages lower than a livable wage. A sustainable armchair will be made with transparent production practices — by a company’s own furniture workshop, or by a local domestic manufacturer. Or, if it’s abroad, there are other verifications for responsible sourcing made by the company, such as sourcing from Fair Trade Certified factories.

Certifications

While not strictly required from a company to be “sustainable” certifications are third-party verifications that the claims a furniture company is making are actually true. While not perfect, it’s an added layer of assurance and accountability. Here are the certifications you might see with chairs:

• Cradle-to-Cradle Certified = evaluates a product across five categories — material health, circularity, clean air/climate, water/soil stewardship, and social fairness — with Gold representing one of the higher achievement tiers. It’s one of the more comprehensive certifications available. In fact it’s the only one that can certify an entire furniture product.
• GOTS Certified = the fabric meets strict organic and safety standards (95%+ certified organic fiber, restricted chemical inputs, labor protections throughout the supply chain). This is a textile-specific certification, not a wood or foam guarantee, and does not apply to the full product.
• CertiPUR-US® = the foam is made without ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, mercury, lead, or formaldehyde, and meets low VOC emission standards. This is a synthetic foam certification, and not a claim that the foam is natural or organic. Natural latex foam made from the sap of rubber trees may not have a certification but could still be considered the more sustainable option, since it’s not from synthetic sources.
• FSC Certified = the wood sourcing was responsibly managed. This is not a finish, foam, or textile guarantee. And while it might apply to a full product on a wood piece of furniture, it is not a product certification for an armchair, which is made from several types of materials.

Where to Find Sustainable Lounge Chairs and Accent Chairs

Now, let’s get into where you can find eco-friendly chairs that meet some or all of this criteria! We’ll start off with some options to find used chairs and then get into the brands with sustainably-made chairs.

Note that this guide includes partners and affiliates. As always, all brands featured meet strict criteria for sustainability and are brands we truly love — and that we think you’ll love too!

Secondhand Sources

Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are two classic options when it comes to finding used furniture! Here are some others to know:

OfferUp (buy and sell locally)

AptDeco (ships)

Chairish (vintage)

EBTH (like an online estate sale)

EstateSales.net (for finding in-person estate sales!)

1. Savvy Rest

Best for: fully natural and organic certified armchairs

Savvy Rest has some seriously impressive sustainable chairs that have every element I mentioned above covered. Their Verona Organic Armchair is made using GOTS-certified organic cotton and/or hemp upholstery, organic wool batting, sustainably-sourced solid hardwood maple, Cradle-to-Cradle Gold Certified Natural Talalay latex foam, natural coir, jute webbing, and zero-VOC finishes.

2. Sabai

Best for: repairable, recycled-material accent chairs

In addition to using recycled & upcycled fibers for their sustainable armchairs (and now even a sleeper chair), Sabai has two circularity programs: Repair Don’t Replace — where you can find individual parts — and Sabai Revive where you can sell back your Sabai furniture. This full lifecycle approach to sustainability makes them one of my top picks for sustainable seating.

It’s worth noting that their Recycled Velvet and Upcycled Poly upholstery options are both synthetic, though. So if you prefer natural fibers, select the (slightly more expensive) Hemp Blend, which is hemp and cotton.

Conscious Qualities: Recycled and Sustainably-Sourced Materials, Repair Program, Resale Program

Price Range: $795 – $1,875
Shipping: U.S. and Canada

Browse Sabai

3. Urban Natural

Best for: finding several sustainable chair brands in one place

Urban Natural is a mecca for all things eco-minded and non-toxic furnishings, including plenty of options for sustainable lounge chairs and accent chairs. I especially appreciate that they have recliners and swivel chairs among their selection — a rarity about sustainable seating options.

The brands they curate utilize a range of materials — the sustainable highlights are responsibly-sourced hardwood, organic cotton, natural latex cushions, and alternative materials like apple leather. That said, the convenience has a trade-off: the different brands have different standards. Some brands are made in the US but lack material transparency, for example.

Conscious Qualities: Eco-Conscious Materials & Processes, Many Brands are USA-Made

Price Range: $999 – $10,000
Shipping: Contiguous U.S. (free for orders $2,500+)

4. Medley

Best for: made-to-order non-toxic accent chairs

Furniture brand Medley creates quality furnishings from non-toxic materials and their armchair collection is no exception. You’ll find sustainable chairs crafted just for you in the U.S. using materials like FSC-certified hardwood, 100% linen, and organic natural latex.

Important to note, though: the less expensive non-toxic options for Medley’s chairs are synthetic with low-VOC certifications — like CertiPUR-US® certified foam or GREENGUARD GOLD certified polyester. I’d suggest browsing their swatches first to understand the fiber content of each option so you can opt for the natural fibers if you wish.

Conscious Qualities: Non-Toxic Materials, Domestic Production, Solid Wood, 100% Natural Options

Price Range: $1,615 – $5,450
Shipping: Ships globally; contact to get quotes for shipping outside of the U.S.

5. Green Row

Best for: sustainable armchairs with a cottagecore vibe

Green Row brings a distinctly different aesthetic to this list — think vintage wingback silhouettes with a cottagecore, cabin chic sensibility, a nice contrast to the more mid-century and minimalist options above.

The brand, part of the Williams Sonoma family, was founded with sustainability in mind from the get go. Green Row’s chairs are made with 100% FSC-certified solid wood, 100% linen or recycled poly/cotton blend (for a performance option) upholstery, and natural latex or CertiPUR-US® Certified foam fill cushions. I’ll be honest: I often go into sustainability claims from big brands suspicious, but consider me impressed.

Conscious Qualities: Responsibly-Sourced Solid Wood, 100% Natural Fiber Options, Low VOC-Certified Foam

Price Range: $749 – $5,099
Shipping: White Glove or Doorstep Delivery to U.S. (additional fee for HI & AK)

6. MasayaCo

Best for: reforested teak lounge chairs (some indoor-outdoor)

MasayaCo creates sustainable lounge chairs made from sustainably sourced teak wood that was reforested in Nicaragua. The company plants 100 trees for each order, with 1.3 million trees planted to date. And about 40% of those trees are left untouched to allow for the habitats to truly thrive.

Some of the chairs are also indoor-outdoor friendly (be sure to check the description). While these might not be as comfortable as some of the cushier armchairs in this guide, reviewers rave about the “unmatched” quality of MasayaCo’s signature lounge chairs.

Conscious Qualities: Sustainable Materials & Practices, Reforestation Projects

Price Range: $895 – $1,455
Shipping: Ships to U.S.

7. The Citizenry

Best for: artisan-made, fair trade armchairs

Handcrafted and made-to-order with materials like solid walnut and 100% cotton velvet, The Citizenry partners with artisans around the world for all of their pieces, ensuring fair trade conditions and wages for the makers behind their products. Their fair trade chairs are made in Indonesia (teak and rattan chairs) and Northern California (upholstered chairs).

Worth noting though: their Google Reviews are very mixed, with some customers loving the products, while others were left thoroughly disappointed by the customer service.

Conscious Qualities: Artisan-Made, Fair Trade
