As our customers all know, all of the fine furniture you’ll find in our six showrooms inside the long white building on Covington Road Fort Wayne, IN, is made in America.
Other than helping Americans keep their jobs, why is buying American so important.
Consider this, the less distance your furniture has to travel, the better condition it will be in when we deliver it (free, of course) to your home. Bad things happen when furniture is transported, and that’s one reason why one of Rainbow Furniture’s owners in always on our delivery van. If there is a problem, you’ll deal with an owner, not some poor truck driver trying to make as many deliveries each day he can.
If you buy a Norwalk Sofa, made in Norwalk, Ohio, your furniture only has to travel 160 miles. A recliner made by Best Furniture travels 291 miles from Ferdinand, IN to our store. And Mobel bedroom furniture is made a few miles closer to us in Jasper, IN.
By contrast, furniture made in China has to travel 6,200 miles by ship, then 2,200 miles by truck to arrive in Fort Wayne, IN.
A lot can happen to your furniture during an 8,400 mile trek around the world.
