Room Doctor has eco-friendly and economical solutions! There are a variety of styles, and each bed is available in all sizes for children and adults.

This solid-wood platform bed is simple yet stylish,  made of sustainably grown, premium, southern yellow pine, grown and manufactured in the USA. The platform bed sits 15″ high off the floor, providing 10 1/2″ of space beneath for storage and for ventilation. Feng Shui principles recommend allowing free space beneath your bed to allow chi to circulate. This bed is perfect for a single mattress or futon. The unfinished solid wood is safe because there are no toxic chemicals emitted. Leave the bed unfinished, or you can easily add a non toxic finish or stain to match any decor. The bed comes in 2 compact boxes for easy transportation and ready-to-assemble (which makes finishing very simple). As allen wrenches are included, there are no tools required for you to have . If you want underbed drawers, they are sold separately (shown below).

If you think that safe, eco-friendly wood furniture is to be taken for granted, think again! Most wood furniture companies do not use wood from sustainably managed forests and plantations, and then they make it even worse by preserving it or constructing it with toxic adhesives and carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde that invade your body with toxic emissions. They then add insult to injury by adding poisonous paint and stains. When you find a company like Room Doctor, take advantage of their ethical standards and protect your family with Room Doctor unfinished solid wood furniture.

Do you need a place to focus on one experience at a time, to truly savor the flavor and texture and temperature of life, and help you to be fully present and in the “now”? Do you simply have great taste in decor, and hold Japanese traditional home design in high esteem ?

Harmony In Design has done it again!  They’ve brought us just the right furniture piece to complete our room design, and they’ve done it the eco friendly way. Their new Tea Table is made from the same sustainable Mango wood as the Raj meditation chair (shown in the previous post).  The petite size and shape of the traditional tea table allow it to be versatile enough for a variety of functions. When not using it for a tea ritual, it can be used as an end table, or coffee table. The traditional round Zafu cushions store neatly under the table when not in use. This is a great help in saving space and in keeping the cushions clean. The table is available in 2 non-toxic waterbase finishes (Natural and Espresso) and the cushions are available with 2 different washable covers (Cream and Mocha). For descriptions of the pillow materials, see the post below this one.

You can feel good about Mango wood products.  The mango tree stops bearing fruit after 20 years, and is then a good source of  timber. Plantation grown mango trees are a responsible alternative to damaging  rain forests. By eating the delicious and nutritious mango fruit and then building from the warm and beautiful mango wood, we do not waste any part of the tree before replanting.

The masterful craftsmanship of this elegant and understated table is truly harmonious. By choosing a round table, you also protect your shins from getting bruised and allow the room’s Chi to circulate gently. You will feel well in a room with such mindfully designed furniture; they help you to reach a state of no mind.

The materials comprising the Harmony In Design meditation furniture are fast growing seagrass and banana leaf weaves. Both sea grass and banana leaf are highly abundant and sustainable materials grown in the region where they are locally manufactured. To seal the pieces HID uses only clear water-based finishes. This adherence to ethics helps to eliminate harmful toxins polluting the environment and prevents your home from being filled with carcinogenic emissions. Finally HID cushions are stuffed with soft silky kapok from the flowering of the Kapok tree and 100 % cotton covers.
