Lovesac Furniture
I recently saw a Lovesac piece of soft furniture, and wanted to know about the materials it is made from. They are textiles, REPREVE, repurposed from plastic bottles, and Durafoam, a premium blend of shredded recycled foam. They make a “Sac” and a sectional couch.
Furniture Finish for Bed Frame
I am having a king bed-frame custom-made for me by a couple that does local workworks in Alaska but they haven't worked much with people with chemical sensitivities such as myself. I was wondering what readily available finish would be best for someone like me with chemical sensitivities; is it better to use Klean Strip Boiled Linseed Oil, or Old Masters 100% tung oil, or something else?
Eco-Friendly Furniture from Pottery Barn
Thanks for all your research and helpful information, which I use all the time. I'm wondering if you know anything about Pottery Barn's new furniture line, "PB Comfort Eco."
Worried about Toxic Chemicals in Furniture
We recently ordered a lot of new furniture from Ashley Furniture store (bought in CA, made in China) and I am nervous about all the chemicals that may be in my air. We got a dining room table and hutch, and kitchen table that have a chemical smell. I did order a test kit from ACS and I am going Safe seal the wood furniture. However, what can I do to protect myself from the chemical exposure from the sofa’s and loveseats? My husband and I have a 4 year old and we’re currently “trying” to have a baby. Any advice would be appreciated.
Unsafe Solid Wood Furniture
I have MCS and know that when I purchase furniture it cannot contain MDF wood or plywoods because of the off-gassing of the glues. What I didn't know was that when I ordered a custom-made solid wood bedframe and work desk that they would be sitting in my garage because they burned my throat turning it bright red and sore, made my eyes burn, plugged-up my nose and made me cough when I got near them.
Sealing Toxic Particleboard Furniture
I have a crazy situation. I put a $500.00 deposit down on some furniture I love, but found out it's wood veneer over fiber-board. I've been agonizing for a week whether to have it delivered or if I should lose my deposit, or at least some of it. My chiropractor muscle-tested me weak on formaldahyde, so it wouldn't be a great thing, but it was on sale for a really good price, it looks great, it's what I need, but I don't want to get sick and I don't want to feel hypocritical.
