Timber is a Natural Renewable Resource that provides an
eco-friendly means of manufacturing quality, innovative, enduring,
hard wearing and functional beautiful furniture of distinction.
Growing trees remove carbon dioxide from our atmosphere,
carbon dioxide is a major air pollutant global warming green
house effect contributor. Solid timber furniture locks-in-carbon
infinitely, half it's dry weight is carbon. Choosing solid timber
furniture is an eco-friendly purchasing decision to feel good about.
The production of timber furniture uses less fossil fuel energy than
most other alternative furniture manufacturing products.
Most of Lifestyle Furniture's Solid Timber Furniture is hand crafted
by craftsman furniture/cabinet makers, using traditional hand tools
and construction methods, which means even less fossil fuels
being used in the manufacturing process.
Australia's Forest Management is eco-friendly and amongst the
best in the world - Only 6% of Australia's 147 million hectares of
native forests is public forest potentially available for timber
harvesting, only 1% of which is commercially harvested.
