Oregon’s climate plays a bigger role in furniture performance than most people realize.

Seasonal changes cause natural wood movement, which is why thoughtful construction and material choices matter so much over time. Some solid wood performs beautifully, while engineered panels can add stability when used in the rig…

Knee pain slowing you down? There is a gentle, non-invasive option that may help.

Cold laser therapy is a modern treatment designed to support the body’s natural healing process. It works by delivering focused light energy to the knee, helping reduce inflammation and improve circulation at the source of discomfort.

Not all wood furniture is built the same.

One of the most common assumptions we hear is that solid wood is always better and engineered materials are always something to avoid. In reality, quality furniture makers often use a combination of materials intentionally to improve stability and long-term performance.

Does Your Business Pass the 3-Second Test?
