I started my career in the log furniture industry at the age of 16, working for my father's Michigan-based rustic log furniture manufacturing firm. Today, I'm co-owner of that company (Lakeland Mills, Inc.), as well as the owner of JHE's Log Furniture Place. I spent those early years in the factory, learning all there was to know about building high quality log beds and rustic wood furniture.

I thoroughly enjoyed practicing the art of crafting one-of-a-kind wood furniture by hand, but soon took an interest in the things which were necessary to make our office run smoothly. I handled accounting duties and processed sales orders. I worked closely with other businesses to set up distributor contracts. I earned a well-rounded education and gained invaluable experience about running a family business.

But the real educational landmark, for me, was learning how to properly handle Customer Service calls. Do you know what the most valuable lesson I learned was? That providing excellent customer service was ? and still is ? essential to every other aspect of our family-run rustic furniture business. I'm happy to share my/our story with you here so that you can understand our company better.

Coming of (the Internet) Age

Eventually, I relocated to the beautiful state of Tennessee to continue my college education. While I was there, I learned how to design websites. In those days, the Internet was still a relatively new concept and the endless number of possibilities intrigued me. By late 1996, I had launched a website-based company and began selling my family's log and reclaimed wood furniture products online.

I ran that business from a humble, college-based personal webpage. It become so popular that I decided to officially go live with it two years later, in 1998, with a URL of JHuntEnterprises.com. Through research, I came to find out that we were the first online log furniture store in existence. In 2000, we launched CedarLogFurniture.com ? and have been registering related domains ever since.

Expansion

Initially, I exclusively sold my family's own line of rustic country furniture products. I watched, in awe, as their sales gained momentum thanks to the wonderful word-of-mouth we received from fine customers ? like you. Thank you! Because our products became so popular with online shoppers, other manufacturers approached me to ask if we'd be willing to sell their log furnishings, as well.

Then, like now, only those whose products made the cut were added to our line up?

As a result of working for my parents, I had existing relationships with many of those businesses. Having inside knowledge and first-hand experience with their products, I knew exactly which ones met our own exacting standards and would be well-received by our customers. I met, personally, with builders I was unfamiliar with to assess their wood preparation, building and finishing processes.

Yeah, I've Always Been Pretty Picky

To ensure that the furniture we feature on our website is of the highest possible quality, I make a habit of being pretty picky ? and always have! Our manufacturer network is limited to a select number of companies which we can rely on to deliver the types of products you want and need. As we find new, qualified manufacturers (or they find us), we expand our product lines to be able to better serve you.

But, we keep our growth in check. After all, our main goal is to provide you with top notch customer service. In fact, it's one of the most important things we do ? beginning with wood selection and continuing on as our products are passed down from generation to generation. JHE's customers are repeat customers who refer family and friends for a reason: We reward loyalty with superior quality.

JHE's carries a gold-standard A+ Better Business Bureau rating ? and we've worked hard to earn it, demonstrating a love for our products and a sincere dedication to your satisfaction. Any company can offer the largest selection of cabin furniture or lodge furniture, but if they don't consider functionality or quality what good are those products to you? At JHE's, we make sure you get your money's worth!

The following is a reply from JHE Log Furniture to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
