In my experience most eco friendly furniture is modern. Also look for furniture that is hand crafted. Thanks,

Many furniture stores sell furniture made of wood, bamboo, reed. Cotton cloth to cover, nothing plastic, all natural fiber. It just cost more. Just go to a high end store.

I have looked all over, but I can’t seem to find anything that in more classic in style. Everything seems to be very modern. I have found a few custom makers, but that is out of my price range. Any suggestions?

Providing old furniture is fumigated,then it’s ok.Remember old wood can have borer in it.And old upholstery could have spiders in it. But don’t ever buy pine,it is a cheap wood and marks badly.
