| Has anyone had any luck using "Green" furniture? I've hear alot about it recently and am thinking about the purchase. Is it durable? |

| What exactly do you mean by "green?" I'm afraid it is one of those labels that companies will put on a product to sucker in the uninformed. I saw a bottle of "organic honey" last week in the store. Really? I used to keep bees and could never train them to go to certain plants. |

| If you mean environmentally friendly kinda green, anything used you get off your local craisglist will beat new furniture for lack of environmental impact. |

| Ditto. Lord, natural latex mattresses are fairly ecofriendly. They typically get just a wood foundation box. Another renewable resource.... Put one of those on a rustic pine bedroom set? The type that looks like bare tree limbs and I guess you're in business. How far do you wanna go? None of the furniture suppliers I have dealings with brag on their chinese or vietnamese tree farms at all. A company called Perdue Woodworks makes domestic particle board furniture that is real decent for the price. Guess you could call them and ask about their forestry practices. |

| Recently "dark" word becomes more and more popular in every area, I think dark furniture is equal to quality furniture. |
