Design Within Reach (DWR) focuses on creating and sourcing furniture that is built to last and beautifully designed. They believe in design that inspires and solves problems, offering free design services to assist customers in creating a space they'll love coming home to. DWR was founded in 1998 by Rob Forbes, who sought to make clean, simple classics accessible to all. They curate inspiration for the home, connecting artisans and designers with people around the world. DWR is certified by FSC, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Greenguard Gold, and GOTS. They participate in equitable labor programs such as amfori BSCI - Code of Conduct. Crate & Barrel Holdings is an international destination for contemporary and modern furniture. With a distinct architectural aesthetic and experiential store environment, they engage with customers through various channels including social media and mobile shopping. Crate & Barrel is also certified by FSC, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Greenguard Gold, and GOTS. They are involved in the Fifteen Percent Pledge and adhere to the amfori BSCI - Code of Conduct. One key difference between the two retailers is that DWR claims to offer products made with organic cotton assembled in the USA while Crate & Barrel does not make any self-claimed benefits related to their products. Overall, both Design Within Reach and Crate & Barrel prioritize sustainability and safety through their product certifications but have different approaches when it comes to self-claimed benefits related to their products.
