Green Front’s Guide to the Best Furniture Made in the USA: Part 2 (The American-Made Leather + Upholstery Edition)

The best leather and upholstery? It’s not coming off a cargo ship. It’s being built right here in the U.S. — by hand, by experts and, in many cases, just down the road. At Green Front we showcase American-made leather and upholstered furniture from makers who know their craft. And it shows in every stitch.

If you caught Part 1 of our American-made furniture series, you know we started with solid wood and outdoor living. Now, in Part 2, we’re turning our attention to on-trend upholstery and fabrics as well as rich, lived-in leather. These are pieces that bring comfort, texture and character to the spaces you use most.

Many of the more memorable pieces at Green Front are made right in our own backyard. Explore Virginia-built sofas by Rowe Furniture and heirloom-worthy leather accent chairs from Taylor King in Taylorsville, North Carolina. These are more than just pieces of furniture; they’re built to last by the people in our region.

Better yet? While our collection of leather and upholstery is rooted in long-standing traditions, it’s designed for 21st century life. We still carry eight-way, hand-tied upholstery and American leather sofas that wear in, not out. In other words: every style meets the moment.

Looking for American-made upholstery for a sitting room or library? Or are you hoping to furnish your living room or office with a leather sectional made in America?

Let Green Front be your guide to discovering timeless upholstery and enduring leather made in the USA. Learn more and explore some of our favorite brands below.

What Distinguishes American Upholstery?

American-made upholstery has fueled many North Carolina and Virginia towns — and we still source our furniture there. From backyard shops to modern factories, the American-made furniture we feature here at Green Front is still crafted by human hands, trained in the same time-honored and trusted techniques of centuries past.

High-quality materials are at the heart of our upholstery, featuring custom options for everything from beautiful fabrics to stitching, trim and cushion fills. With hardwood frames and eight-way hand-tied springs, this furniture is made to last. Its design, construction, look and feel is an experience unique to American-made upholstery.

Still, American-made upholstery isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Green Front, we offer an extensive selection of styles — from modern to traditional and everything in between — so that you can discover the pieces that fit your aesthetic. 

From the bold, luxe look of an oversized sectional to the sink-in feel of a custom chair and ottoman, here’s a look at some of our American-made favorites — the upholstery edition.

What Sets American Leather Furniture Apart?

A product known for its longevity, American leather makes an ideal furniture covering. For centuries, artisans have passed down leathercraft techniques, utilizing a wide range of tanning processes, which allow for more customizable finishes. 

Here at Green Front we source top-grain and full-grain leather from manufacturers in Virginia and North Carolina — top-quality makers that we trust. When you choose our USA leather products, you’re not just supporting small-town workshops and family businesses; you’re investing in high craft and generational skilled labor. Our Green Front Leather collection features solid wood frames and eight-way, hand-tied springs for an organic look and feel that’s exceptional, comfortable and made to last. 

We believe high-quality furniture should be a reflection of who you are. It’s why we curate leather furniture suited to both the keepers and the makers of the American Dream. 

The result? Timeless pieces rooted in history, stylish and without artifice.
