Our best-selling case goods are crafted in the heart of Northern China, a region steeped in a centuries-old tradition of furniture-making. For over a decade, we’ve partnered exclusively with a single, small, family-run workshop that blends time-honored techniques such as mortise-and-tenon joinery and hand-planed surfaces with a deep respect for natural materials.
Our workshop specializes in reclaimed woods like Elm, Northern Pine, and Poplar, salvaged from old buildings and developing villages. Each piece tells a story, full of character, texture, and authenticity. Unlike mass-produced imports, our furniture is never machine-made or molded. These are heirloom-quality pieces, made slowly, by hand, using skills passed down through generations.
While the phrase “Made in China” can carry certain assumptions, our pieces proudly defy those expectations, offering exceptional craftsmanship, soulful materials, and a deep sense of place.
Every Habitat piece is built by hand, crafted by skilled artisans using solid, natural materials and time-honored techniques. From frame to finish, every detail is considered with care and intention. This is furniture made by real people, not machines, carrying the character, quality, and soul that only handmade work can offer.
Habitat’s Reclaimed collection features newly crafted furniture built from reclaimed wood, most often sourced from rural villages, barns, and historic structures. Naturally aged and full of character, each board tells a story rich with patina, texture, and the marks of time.
Skilled artisans transform these repurposed materials using traditional joinery and hand-finishing techniques, blending age-old character with thoughtful, contemporary design. While available in multiples, no two pieces are ever exactly alike, each one shaped by its past and made to last well into the future.
Sustainable, soulful, and full of personality, these pieces bring history into the present with style and purpose.
Delivery timelines vary based on your location. For customers in California, orders typically arrive within 1–3 weeks from the time of purchase. For customers outside of California, orders typically arrive within 3–5 weeks from the time of purchase.

How will my furniture be delivered?
All full-size furniture pieces are shipped via our premium White Glove Delivery service. Once your order is on the move, our team will provide shipping updates via email. Prior to final delivery, you’ll be contacted to schedule a delivery appointment.
White Glove service includes delivery to your room of choice, unpacking of the item, and removal of all packaging materials, so you can enjoy your new piece, hassle-free.
Is your furniture made from solid wood?
Yes. Our case good furniture is made from solid wood, stone, and metal—never veneers, plywoods, or plastics.
How do I clean my wooden furniture?
Dust regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, a damp cloth or mild household cleaners are recommended. Use coasters to protect surfaces.
Will my furniture have natural imperfections?
Yes, and that’s part of what makes it special. Whether vintage, reclaimed, or newly crafted, our pieces are made from natural materials and are handmade, so you can expect beautiful variations in grain, texture, tone, and subtle imperfections that give each piece its own unique character. These aren’t flaws, they’re the marks of authenticity and craftsmanship.
What’s the difference between vintage, reclaimed, and newly crafted items?
Vintage: Authentic pieces from the past with unique character and signs of age.
Reclaimed: Newly made products from reclaimed materials like old wood or stone.
Newly Crafted: Made new using traditional techniques and high-quality materials.
Will my product look exactly like the photo online?
Our product photos show a single piece from our current stock. Unless you’re purchasing a one-of-a-kind vintage item, you’ll likely receive a different piece from inventory, not the exact one pictured. We maintain consistency in style, finish, and overall appearance, but because we use real wood, natural variations in grain, tone, and texture should be expected.
