Hardwood frame parts using native trees provide the backbone to a sturdy frame. The frame is computer-engineered and cut to minimize defects and wasted material. This frame is then glued, screwed, and corner-blocked for stability. The stress points are then reinforced with heavy-duty truss plates, and fitted with heat-tempered, sinuous wire springs and polypropylene-coated, squeak-free clips. Next comes the softest seat cushion in the industry, multi-layer comfort with high resiliency foam, and high loft polyester fiber. Finally the upholstery is tailored by a group of highly skilled craftspeople and inspected for sewn strength and quality.

Recently a lot of furniture manufacturers have moved their production off-shore, since it is cheaper and the environmental protection regulations are less strict in other parts of the world. Since Best had no intention of abandoning its quality promise and domestic employees, we have tightened our belts in a number of ways to help reduce our global footprint on the environment. A few ways we monitor our environmental footprint is by participating in a voluntary program to reduce diesel emissions by cracking down on unnecessary engine idling. We also reuse or recycle excess packaging and upholstery materials whenever possible. Greener materials like water-based glues and foam products derived from soy beans are replacing the less sustainable, potentially dangerous chemical compounds used in the past.
