Reclaimed furniture is typically made from wood that’s been up-cycled to serve another purpose. The fact that each piece of reclaimed furniture is one of a kind and unique makes people want to buy them more than regular factory-made pieces.
Some benefits of using reclaimed furniture are that they look unusual and are incredibly eco-friendly. The wood we use here at Browsers Emporium has been sourced from around the world using boat wood, solid oak and locally sourced ecological wood.
Why Is It Better To Buy Reclaimed Furniture?
Buying reclaimed furniture is great if you're trying your best to implement more eco-conscious choices into your life, home and business space.
Not only does reclaimed furniture have character, but it can also turn a dull room into something more lively with its unusual, quirky appearance - great if you’re wanting to make a space more visually pleasing.
If reclaimed furniture is kept well and looked after properly, it will keep its value. Older furniture has already depreciated - meaning it will always be valuable for as long as it's kept in decent condition.
Why Is Reclaimed Furniture Eco-Friendly?
One of the most eco-friendly choices you can make is to buy reclaimed furniture and implement pieces around your home.
By purchasing reclaimed/vintage furniture, you're helping prolong the life of an item. This means it has the potential to carry on being continuously used for as long as it can be.
Benefits Of Using Reclaimed Wood
Reusing wood means that fewer trees need to be cut down. Trees are so important for our planet's ecosystems and life in general. Therefore, contributing to stopping trees from being cut down will result in a better environment overall.
Reclaimed wood plays an essential role in keeping the added CO2 emissions created by the furniture industry at a minimum.
Is Wood The Most Environmentally Friendly Material?
Wood is one of the most naturally renewable energy sources. This means that it will have less of an impact on the environment compared to other types of materials.
Carbon stores itself in wood, meaning there's less carbon in the atmosphere. An added bonus is that compared to steel and concrete, wood contributes fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
The great thing about wood is that it can be reused over and over again, making it one of the most environmentally friendly materials to use.
Reusing salvaged wood means less ends up in landfills or being burned, both of these have a detrimental effect on our environment.

Yes! Reclaimed furniture will be sure to last a lifetime, making it the most sustainable way to buy furniture.
It's completely understandable to worry that buying reclaimed furniture that's already been used so many times before. You could argue that it might be in a less reliable condition by the time you get your hands on it, but this isn't the case at all.
Reclaimed wood furniture actually has a denser make-up, meaning it's higher quality and has had longer to dry. This makes it harder for reclaimed wood to break, split and warp.
