Your home should feel like it was designed just for you — comfortable, functional, and full of personality. The furniture you choose plays a huge role in that. At Plaza Interiors, we believe the pieces you live with every day should not only look beautiful but also be made to last. That’s why we love working with American-made furniture brands that combine craftsmanship, style, and quality materials.
From solid wood dining tables to custom sofas and eco-friendly chairs, American-made pieces are built with care and designed for real life. In this blog, we’ll answer common questions homeowners ask about USA-made furniture, spotlight a few trusted brands we carry, and show why investing in quality pays off for years to come.
One of the first questions we hear in the showroom is: “Why should I choose American-made furniture over mass-produced options?”
The difference comes down to function, quality, and style.
When we talk about quality furniture, we don’t just mean it looks nice in a showroom. Quality shows up in the details:
You can feel the difference the moment you sit on a sofa or open the drawer of a handcrafted dresser. These pieces aren’t meant to last just a season — they’re designed to grow with your family and become part of your home’s story.
At Plaza Interiors, we’re proud to partner with heritage brands that represent the very best of American craftsmanship. Here are a few highlights:
Based in Ohio, Mavin is a family-owned company dedicated to handcrafted, solid-wood furniture made entirely in the USA. Every dining table, chair, and cabinet is built to order by skilled artisans who understand the beauty of real wood and the importance of longevity. From maple and oak to cherry and walnut, each piece is sourced from sustainably managed forests and finished with meticulous attention to detail.
What sets Mavin apart is their flexibility — homeowners can choose the exact wood species, stain, and size to fit their space perfectly. The result is furniture that feels truly personal, designed to last for generations while adding warmth and character to any room.
True to their name, Simply Amish represents a tradition of craftsmanship that goes back centuries. Every piece is built by hand in small Amish workshops across the Midwest, where furniture-making is not just a trade, but a way of life. You’ll find the builder’s signature proudly inscribed on each piece — a mark of authenticity and pride that’s rare in today’s world of mass production.
Their collections range from classic dining and bedroom sets to contemporary designs, all made from solid hardwood and finished with eco-friendly materials. Simply Amish proves that furniture can be both functional and meaningful — built with patience, integrity, and care you can feel in every touch.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, American Leather is known for redefining modern comfort. Their patented Comfort Sleeper™ sofa line has become a household favorite for its sleek design and unmatched versatility. Beyond sleepers, the brand offers a wide range of sectionals, recliners, and accent chairs — all customizable in hundreds of fabrics and leathers.
Unlike many custom manufacturers, American Leather operates on a “made-to-order, delivered in 30 days” promise. Each frame is precision-built in their Dallas facility using sustainable materials and advanced technology. It’s the perfect blend of innovation and craftsmanship — a forward-thinking American brand that keeps comfort and quality at its core.
For over 50 years, Lee Industries has been crafting timeless upholstery in North Carolina with an emphasis on sustainability and comfort. Their furniture combines clean design lines with plush comfort, all while maintaining eco-friendly practices such as using soy-based cushions, certified sustainable wood frames, and recycled metal components.
What makes Lee stand out is their approachable style — elevated yet livable. Their custom options allow you to select fabrics, trims, and finishes that bring personality to your home, while their focus on craftsmanship ensures each piece is as durable as it is beautiful. It’s classic American design, reimagined for modern living.
Also based in Dallas, Massoud Furniture combines artistry and tradition in every piece. For over five decades, their team of Texas artisans has been hand-building custom upholstery using kiln-dried hardwood frames, eight-way hand-tied springs, and premium cushioning. From sofas and settees to ottomans and occasional chairs, each design can be tailored to fit your style with over 800 fabric and leather options.
Massoud’s commitment to quality means every seam, stitch, and pattern placement is carefully inspected before leaving the factory. Their furniture isn’t just beautiful — it’s built to endure daily life with elegance and resilience, making it a favorite among interior designers and homeowners alike.
With roots tracing back to 1893, Flexsteel is one of America’s most trusted names in furniture. Headquartered in Dubuque, Iowa, the company is best known for its signature Blue Steel Spring — a design that’s guaranteed for life and offers unmatched comfort and durability. This innovative technology, combined with solid construction and American manufacturing, has made Flexsteel a household name for over a century.
Their collections span from traditional sofas and recliners to modern motion seating, all built with comfort, function, and longevity in mind. Many pieces are still crafted in their U.S. facilities by skilled tradespeople who take pride in continuing Flexsteel’s long-standing legacy of quality.
Quality matters, too — a well-built piece will still feel sturdy even if it’s scaled down. And style? That’s where small spaces can be the most fun. A single bold chair or colorful fabric can instantly bring life to the room.
Another common question is: “Why does American-made cost more?”
The truth is, these pieces are an investment. While mass-produced furniture might seem less expensive upfront, it often needs to be replaced within a few years. American-made furniture may cost more initially, but it saves money long-term because it’s built to last.
Think of it like this: instead of buying three inexpensive dining sets over 15 years, you can buy one heirloom-quality table that still looks beautiful decades later.
