Room & Board

Also called Room and Board, Room & Board Furniture, Room & Board Inc.

American modern furniture brand founded in 1980, known for solid domestic hardwoods, steel craftsmanship, and enduring American design.

Founded in Minneapolis in 1980, Room & Board is an American furniture brand known for clean-lined modern design rooted in Shaker, Mid-Century Modern, and Scandinavian traditions. Over ninety percent of their catalog is crafted in the United States through long-term partnerships with artisan workshops across North Carolina, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

Signature lines like the Linear storage collection, Portica steel tables, and Andre sofa showcase durable construction: solid domestic hardwoods such as walnut and white oak, dovetail joinery, welded steel frames, and bench-made upholstery. To identify an authentic piece, look for a discreet metal brand plaque along frame bases, a woven fabric tag underneath seat cushions, or a stamped logo inside top drawers.

Built with heavy-gauge steel and solid timber rather than thin veneers over composite board, these pieces easily endure decades of daily use. Understated proportions and American craftsmanship allow a pre-owned piece to retain its structural integrity and quiet elegance through moves, guests, and long seasons of living.
