We look for products that are made from natural materials or from recycled man-made products; sustainably harvested wood products; naturally grown cotton, hemp, and bamboo without the use of pesticides or chemicals; and although it is not always possible, we consider the distance a product has to travel to get to us. In a perfect world, we would choose a product that fits all of these requirements plus be of high quality. When it is not possible, we have chosen what we feel is the best of what is out there.
