Veteran’s Day on 11/11/11

Veteran's Day 11.11.11

In a time when our country needs the most synchronicity to upright and change the tide of a failing economy, immoral bank abuse, political agendas for a select few, and a restless occupy movement finding tent cities in every major metropolitan area in protest in part of this societal unrest; what better place to start that synch of a blissful and self-realized future than on 11-11-11.

An important day it is, as it finds celebration and honor for our veterans who have served, and we wish to thank them dearly for that service.

As an American made solid wood furniture manufacturer, Manchester Wood takes this day to not only keep in mind that synchronicity in which we put forth the idea for a more peaceful and spiritually uplifted union, but also for those who either chose or were found to be in military action as a service to the freedoms America possesses.

Manchester Wood’s founder Clifford Pierce was a medaled Korean War vet who valued and respected his time served and wished nothing more than the same for all those who have put on a uniform. We continue to extend that hand today to our veteran employees and those in our extended community.

This Veteran’s Day is filled with love, respect, gratitude, and an eye on a bright future where war, whether socially, politically, or physically drawn, will never be seen again.

God bless all veterans on this day!

It’s time for indoor furniture!

A few items pictured above from Contemporary Collection.

With Fall entering full swing and leaves showing most of their transformation, we begin bringing things inside and reside more in our homes than outside them. The lawn is cut for the final time, the grill and Adirondack chairs are put away, improving our indoor living becomes the next top priority.

Manchester Wood would like to focus this blog on our vastly growing Contemporary Collection. A line that features a very 21st century minimal approach with a touch of country and tradition.

Our Contemporary Collection features an assortment of Media Stands, End Tables, Coffee Tables, Sofa, and Console Tables in several shapes and sizes. Providing you with a high quality American made furniture piece is our mission with a varying selection of product to fit your needs is our strong condition, and one we abide.

Aside from our Contemporary Collection we have an ever-growing furniture store, all American made in our shop in the Slate Valley Region of the Adirondacks, be sure to visit our website: www.ManchesterWood.com

School Season: An Opportunity for Made in USA

Although this article doesn’t pertain so much to first year college students, or those boarding for high school studies where most furniture is supplied in dorm living; this blog focuses more on the student returning this school season with a more definitive approach on his or her’s future.

Our Portable Work Desk -- Perfect for any small living space or mobile environment. Only $89.95 + FREE Shipping

We can’t think of better items for study and work than our American made solid wood desk furniture. Providing your child or yourself with a product that will not only last beyond the school years, but also instill a powerful conscious decision that will help our next generation understand, touch, and feel apart of the difference between products made domestically to cheap overseas pieces that resemble how they’re made — with a vicious method in business regulation and employee satisfaction — which is found to be almost non-existent.

The more we pump money into a system far away from here where we can’t see to feel bad about, the more we need to start to look around, grow a heart for ourselves, and leave Washington politics and executive money hunger to the 1% making the billions we admire.

Let us start our young budding professionals on the right path. Don’t buy cheap furniture for them from China or Vietnam, buy them something their kids will not only be able to use but feel honored about. A piece of furniture that has meaning, its not something you know you’ll throw away in a few years to a landfill already past its limit.

Consider Manchester Wood as your leading provider in American made solid wood furniture.

Labor Day

Grover Cleveland

Grover Cleveland isn’t known for much as President of this grand country of ours, and that’s typically a good sign. He reined in an era of no major wars, conflicts, or treacherous natural disasters that we exist in today. He was a pro-business man, and business had the main issues during his two terms.

So, with a mostly clean slate and America humming along with our newfound machines, the beginning of the industrial age, an exploding domestic boom in manufacturing was moving briskly along. President Cleveland made the labor movement, the interests of the blue-collar man and the owners where they worked, a high priority. A stake not many in Washington hold true today.

Although, the only real move Grover Cleveland made during his tenure that still captures our conscious was the holiday, Labor Day.

It began like most national holidays, recognized first locally, which occurred in New York with the Central Labor Union, and after twelve years it became a nationwide celebration following a tragedy where a number of workers on strike died at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the famous “Pullman Strike.”

The event entails great tragedy, unlawful Government actions, and fatality, but represents a business era we’re experiencing today. A fight seeking a lawful representation of the American business, their rights, both as workers and owners, whom loyally stand behind them the basic principles of economics.

Manchester Wood has stood behind the principles of the American workers, and continues to do so while providing the best in customer service, savings, and a quality item that will last for generations.

On behalf of all of us at “the mill” we’d love you to consider buying your next furniture pieces from Manchester Wood. Our Chairside Storage Table is spotlighted below.

Classic Comfort with Room for Fun!

Traditional rooms in most homes call for a more enlivened spirit, touching on vintage as well as current styles. We mentioned in a previous post, placing comfort before formality has been a growing trend in the new century.

At Manchester Wood our ever-growing Contemporary Collection seeks the common ground between style and comfort for all when enjoying a room. Whether with our coffee, sofa, or end tables and media stands to present your entertainment systems, we trust you’ll find what you’re looking for.

Antique and old traditional lines influence many of our designs. When we add a new “updated” flavor to these items of influence it adds a familiarity, but more importantly, a forward outlook – an important aspect that furniture should carry in your home.

If your family is growing, many of these traditional formal living or dining rooms become “all-purpose” rooms, and we totally understand. It’s important for all of us to create! Especially for our youth, an all-purpose or “great” room makes perfect sense – a shared space for all to enjoy.

With our step stools, cabinets for storage, and children’s furniture, Manchester Wood prides itself on finding items that suite your needs for classic comfort in your home!
