Read our short IFD furniture review to learn about one of our best-selling brands, and to discover whether International Furniture Direct is right for your home!
Who Is International Furniture Direct & What Makes IFD Furniture Special?
International Furniture Direct is a furniture manufacturer with a decades-long reputation for excellence in woodworking. However, unlike brands who only focus on a narrow market, IFD makes quality pieces for every part of your home. This includes pieces for your dining room, living room, bedroom, home theater, home office and more.
To oversimplify, there are 4 key things we really appreciate about our friends at International Furniture Direct. We love how IFD furniture is styled, we love how it’s made, we love where it’s made, and finally, we love the materials their furniture is made with. This combination of factors is precisely what gives IFD its unique appeal. Let’s dive into each of them below.
Eclectic, Fun, & On-Trend Designs
Every single bed, nightstand, chest-of-drawers, coffee table, bar stool, or kitchen island is reminiscent of rustic woodworking, a vintage farmhouse or villa, a reclaimed industrial space, or some combination of the three. The best part is that International Furniture Direct offers these expensive styles at a fair price, without the designer mark-up.
Do you like live edge furniture, industrial chic, rough-hewn timber, exposed rivets, old-world looks, or the vintage feel of reclaimed wood? If so, IFD’s aesthetic is perfect for you.
Crafted & Finished by Hand
Handcrafted furniture is increasingly rare and increasingly expensive these days. Since manufacturers seldom “make ‘em like they used to”, consumers are often willing to pay a premium for high quality, heirloom pieces. But wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to?
Each piece of IFD furniture is built and finished by experienced craftsmen and women. Additionally, every piece includes sturdy, tried-and-true features like solid wood frames, solid wood drawers, mortise and tenon joints, and ball bearing drawer glides. As a result, IFD furniture is extremely durable and ready to endure years and years of use.
Made Right Here in North America
So, where is IFD furniture made? International Furniture Direct manufactures their furniture here in North America at their state-of-the-art facilities in Puebla and Guadalajara, Mexico. Since IFD fully owns and operates their own factories, they can eliminate waste and extra costs normally passed on to consumers.
With 4 warehouses across the United States (and one right here in Atlanta), retailers like us don’t have to worry about the long delays in transit that come with shipping furniture across the ocean. More efficient transport is yet another way IFD helps keep costs down – savings which we are then able to pass on to consumers. It also makes it easier to keep our favorite IFD furniture in stock for our customers.
Crafted With Quality Materials
What else makes International Furniture Direct so special? Honestly, it’s their unorthodox build materials. IFD regularly uses sustainably-sourced exotic woods like mango, parota, rosewood, and mahogany, and pairs them with industrial metals like wrought iron, copper, and zinc. All of these elements fit together to create IFD’s distinct style.
Additionally, International Furniture Direct is extremely involved in conservation and reforestation efforts. In fact, they are solely responsible for planting a whopping 45,000 trees every single year! So, if green business practices are as important to you as they are to us, you can feel good about buying from IFD.
Is International Furniture Direct a Good Fit for Me?
Are you looking for rustic, industrial, or other eclectic-style furniture for your bedroom, dining room, home office or media room? Have you always wanted handcrafted, high-end, reclaimed wood or rough-hewn, solid wood furniture but couldn’t justify the price? IFD might just be the perfect fit for you!
International Furniture Direct prides themselves on making handcrafted wood furniture affordable and accessible. We love that IFD’s incredible craftsmanship, solid build quality, and unique materials don’t come with an outrageous price tag.
However, we understand that no brand is perfect for everybody. IFD furniture may not be perfect for you if you’re on a strict budget or only interested in entry-level furniture. Additionally, since IFD’s lineup is mostly modern, quirky or on-trend, it may not fit if your style is very traditional.
Who Sells IFD Furniture? Pssst…We Do!
Let’s recap. Between the eclectic style, solid wood construction with uncommon materials, and handcrafted quality, International Furniture Direct offers furniture shoppers a ton of value for their money. Plus, since IFD makes their furniture in North America and has their own warehouse here in Atlanta, there are far fewer logistical hurdles between and the delivery of your new furniture. Considering the supply chain disruptions over the past couple years, this has never been more important than right now.
