Though when it comes to other furniture, it is a broad category but there are a few basic tips to source a piece if you are a green enthusiast:

  1. Opt for sustainably sourced hardwoods rather than composite woods like particleboard and plywood. Not only do these have a short life span but they also contain harmful chemicals and toxins such as formaldehyde.
  2. Check the source of the wood attained for manufacturing furniture, for instance, most businesses source wood and other materials locally as well as dispose of waste materials responsibly. 
  3. Shop for eco-friendly bunk beds designed to your specifications and handcrafted by expert woodworkers.
