Poly and Bark and Article are two furniture retailers with distinct differences. Poly and Bark prides itself on creating furniture that fits customers' lives, with impeccable quality, durability, and design. Their collections are inspired by a melting pot of cultures, updated takes on iconic furniture, and much-loved classics. They pay careful attention to every step of the process to ensure picture-perfect furniture. As an entirely online company, they pass on savings up to 50% less than traditional retailers. Article's mission is to make great style easy, long-lasting, and well-priced. They work directly with manufacturers to produce unique pieces using high-quality materials at unrivaled value. Their team can get most in-stock orders from their warehouses to customers' front doors in two weeks or less. Article's culture is rooted in four core values: customer obsession, doing things differently, ownership mindset, and winning together. While both retailers have no equitable labor programs in place, Poly and Bark has a commitment to ethical sourcing that includes ensuring suppliers adhere to fair labor standards. In contrast, Article does not have any specific policies or commitments related to labor practices but relies on suppliers for ethical treatment of workers. Both retailers also have a commitment to sustainability but do not claim any un-certified sustainable benefits or self-claimed benefits. Customers can be assured that products purchased from either retailer are produced with respect for workers' rights and environmental protection in mind.
