The Sofa Company: You Design It, They Build It.
*Custom Options *Lots of Variety *Modern Choices *Not Just Sofas
Modern design with tons of options. Los Angeles based manufacturer has quite a few stores in their area, but allows customers (you!) to design your next couch online. Product also includes sofabeds, sectionals, accent chairs, daybeds, headboards, ottomans, recliners, kids options, dining chairs and bar stools.
May cost around $1500 or more, but considering quality and flexibility in design – as well as an optional lifetime warranty, this could be a great choice. Some pricing is clear, others say “call for pricing” which I think needs to be re-thought . But here they are!

Patriot Plastics: Plastic Kitchen Utensil Set
*Non-stick *Reasonable pricing *One-piece mold doesn’t leak *Great reviews
Patriot Plastics: Kitchen tool set of eight for about $55. This is a manufacturing technique that is easily done in America – injection molded plastics (why the need to do this overseas?). Gentle and perfect for non-stick surfaces. I personally prefer this one-piece mold versus the separate handle because I find that other handles leak and contain water when submerged or washed in the dishwasher – in this case the water can slowly trickle out, even into your cuisine.
Includes
-New Stir Fry Tool (not shown in picture)
-Cooking Skimmer
-Pasta Spoon
-Large Spatula
-Large Slotted Spatula
-Small Spatula
-Large Cooking Spoon
-Large Slotted Cooking Spoon
Gets fantastic reviews!!

Room And Board: Modern Furniture Mostly US Sourced
*Fantastic modern selection *Competitive pricing *90% Made in USA *Shop “rooms”
NICE!! Very very impressed with this company that sources 90% of its products domestically. Classic contemporary home furnishings, similar to Crate And Barrel in both price and style. Historic modern designs from Charles Eames, etc. Their online catalog shows individual products as well as “Inspiration” photos where you can shop entirely within those photos (like a showroom). Since 1980 their focus has been on “bringing you timeless designs made in the USA from the finest natural materials”. I am truly impressed with their design choices and quality of construction. I will start here for our next purchase for the home.
Here is their online showroom, divided into rooms and items, with TONS of selections, all with very reasonable prices listed. There are a few miscellaneous expensive items, but for the most part very affordable.
Chairs: a fantastic selection:
Room and Board: A Great Selection of Chairs
Recliners: if you’re looking for an alternate to LaZboy:
