Storage

Ethnicraft, Tikamoon and FDB Møbler make most of it, from sideboards and TV stands to shelving, cabinets and dressers. UMAGE, Greenington, WOUD, Case, Tiptoe, Heller and Mater add smaller selections.

FDB Møbler holds FSC chain-of-custody certification (FSC-C164841), WOUD's storage is FSC certified, and Tikamoon's FSC certification (FSC-C143349) covers part of its range. Greenington builds in solid Moso bamboo, a rapidly renewable material, and Ethnicraft works in solid oak and teak from named origins.

It varies by brand. Ethnicraft makes its furniture in its own factories, mostly in Indonesia, with oak pieces made in Serbia. Tikamoon is mostly made in Indonesia and India, Greenington in China, UMAGE mostly in China and Vietnam, and Tiptoe in France and Lithuania.

FDB Møbler gives a 10-year warranty. Ethnicraft is ANSI/BIFMA tested and offers spare parts, Tikamoon runs a buy-back and repair program, and UMAGE and WOUD sell spare parts with a 2-year warranty. Greenington gives a 1-year limited warranty.
