Featured Brand: Four Hands

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle; it’s the mantra for 2010 and beyond.Shofer’s is a strong proponent of this and that is why we are proud to feature Four Hands and Shofer’s Blog’s featured brand.

Four Hands is unique among furniture manufacturers. Since they were founded in 1996 they have been proponents of sustainability in the furniture industry. And it’s not just a mission statement; Four Hands backs up this claim with real numbers. They have been producing 46% of their case goods using eco-friendly materials like plantation-grown woods, reclaimed wood and recycled metal.

The numbers and talk sound impressive, but the true measure of furniture is what it looks like in your home — and Four Hands knocks it out of the park in this regard. Take one look at their furniture and you are over taken by a warm feeling. You can actually see the history that this wood has already been through which adds distinction to your home.

Putting together a room with Four Hands products creates a chic-look that still seems inviting. In fact, they call it “EthicChic”. But don’t take my word for it, this is a product that you have to see and feel for yourself.

Shofer’s Furniture is one of the only stores in the Baltimore-area to feature Four Hands in their showroom. You’ll find their products in our 2^nd floor atrium, and you’ll see why their reclaimed furniture is so special. Read through dozens of catalogs and explore their expansive line. There’s no doubt that you will find something that you will fall in love with.

Four Hands has also developed a customized website for Shofers.com visitors. This online catalog contains hundreds of products from the Four Hands line and even tells you how many pieces that the company currently has in-stock at the warehouse. It’s a remarkable way to shop online.
