President’s Day Special: Our NEW Campaign Desk!

Manchester Wood's Campaign Desk

In honor of the many great presidential and political leaders who have helped America, both past and present, in this day of their celebration, Manchester Wood is announcing a new historically designed Campaign Desk!

Our Campaign Desk is a variation of a conveniently designed traveling desk from the Revolutionary era of the early Americas. The likes of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other forefathers of the United States penned on a similar desk that filled with letters of love, war, and ideas of independence.

The Campaign Desk was also used many times on the battlefield for officers to write their plans or orders during the Revolutionary and Civil wars.

Work from a solid wood desk that is handcrafted in both historical and contemporary Americana design. Like all our furniture, proudly Made in the USA.

Manchester Wood designs and produces quality, affordable, eco-friendly solid wood American made furniture in the Green Mountains of Vermont and Adirondack foothills of New York.

Manchester Wood announces collection “$64 Gifts for U.S. Jobs”

Manchester Wood Announces "$64 Gifts for U.S. Jobs"

A recent study by ABC World News with Diane Sawyer around the holiday season showed that if each person spent $64 dollars on Made in America items we would create 200,000 new American jobs (source). In support of this finding, Manchester Wood is offering an affordable and unique gift collection that allows you to bring home an heirloom quality American made product for only $64 dollars, which includes free shipping. This is a great opportunity to support the Made in USA cause, own a quality piece of furniture at a very affordable rate, practice conscious consumerism, and help create more American jobs.

The collection is currently offering a Lap Desk, Serving Tray, Tea Cup/Mug Stand, Folding Table, and Step Stool. All American made and entirely of solid Northeastern hardwood, milled and crafted in our manufacturing shop in Granville, New York.

The Lap Desk is ideal for working while sitting in a chair or on the couch, perhaps upright in bed. It allows mobility, comfort, and an old-fashioned style using a laptop computer while also keeping harmful rays and unwanted heat away.

The Serving Tray offers someone sick in bed a meal, a child a snack, or a Mother’s Day morning surprise. The Serving Tray is also good for while you watch TV in bed or on the couch, perhaps while paying bills or working in a more leisurely manner.

The Tea Cup/Mug Stand is perfect for your coffee or tea while enjoying a nice read. Perhaps while basking in peaceful solitude on the porch or in the sun room. Bring this antique style stand with a refreshed Americana twist into your home today!

The Folding Table under our TV Tray Table category has been a customer favorite for over 35 years, and now you can bring home this item at a more inexpensive rate. We imagine it’ll give a great preview to the quality of our TV Tray Table sets.

Need a few inches to get something around the kitchen? The garage? Maybe for the little ones to reach the sink? The Step Stool is an inexpensive way to own a nice American crafted solid wood item that’s hefty and durable, which is important for its many uses.

Stores Desire Made in America

“I think people want to buy USA made. I want to be the proof in the pudding — yes, you can buy American made [here],” Beth Cook told The City Wire a Business, Political, and Cultural News source in Northwest Arkansas this past Monday about her store “B LaRue,” a boutique retail outlet in Rogers, Arkansas now carrying Made in the USA products. “I just want to encourage small business in America…We make quality products. And we need jobs.”

The City Wire’s article entitled “Rogers store looking for Made in America” continued with a report that shows the greatest impact outsourced goods have are in furniture and household equipment, which mainly derive from China.

“In the last decade, manufacturers rushed to China to take advantage of low wages there, which meant U.S. job losses… according to a recent report by the Boston Consulting Group, a global-management advisory firm” (The City Wire).

It’s reading articles like this every week on our news feed, whether local coverage somewhere in America (like Arkansas) or national that puts Manchester Wood and other American made manufacturers in a growing ascent towards domestic consumer justice. And for the furniture world we’re one of the few proudly left standing.

Beth Cook, The City Wire these are some of the many Americans helping raise that kind of consumer awareness on Made in USA products, and Cook’s support for Made in America in her store shows her dedication to the cause. She knows for a small store in a small town in Arkansas it’s “not likely to help the economy overall, but she hopes maybe her decision will help save one or two jobs for Americans” (The City Wire).

Cook, like many store owners beginning to stock Made in USA items not only can see the clear picture of helping create more jobs here, but also the quality and craftsmanship of Made in America “that carries a lifetime guarantee…there’s a lot of pride in American products,” she concluded.

It’s great to see people not only acknowledge the support of their fellow person by purchasing something they made, but also realizing the quality and longevity of the products like ours entirely American made solid wood furniture at Manchester Wood. These are not landfill, cheap throwaway pieces of furniture that last a few years, but a nice solid Northeastern hardwood piece to give your grand-kids. Buy American. And if you’re looking for American made furniture, buy Manchester Wood.
