Burrow Introduces Resale Program in Partnership with FloorFound

Furniture World News Desk on 6/23/2022

Recommerce pioneer FloorFound  recently announced a strategic partnership with leading direct-to-consumer furniture brand Burrow. With this partnership, Burrow and FloorFound hope to reduce waste and sidestep supply chain delays by reselling a number of its award-winning modular sofas, loungers, armchairs, and soon mattresses.

Now, through FloorFound, Burrow is offering high quality returned and open-box items at a discount through the FloorFound store. FloorFound's circular commerce platform includes a nationwide reverse logistics network and technology for intaking, grading, pricing and merchandising non-new items and powering resale channels. Burrow has sold hundreds of resale items to-date and plans to launch a branded resale portal on its flagship site www.burrow.com.

"Since the beginning, Burrow has been on a mission to reduce waste by designing furniture that's meant to last from home to home, and move to move. Our customers know what values are important to them, and our resale program enables people to purchase accessible ready-to-ship pieces while positively affecting the planet," said Stephen Kuhl, co-founder and CEO at Burrow. "This program makes it easy to shop for great furniture, have it delivered quickly, and at a great value – all while keeping oversized items out of landfills."

Through this partnership, Burrow can promote in-stock furniture that is ready to ship – a selection supplemented by the FloorFound resale items, which can be delivered to new buyers within weeks, not months. The average price of a Burrow piece offered through the FloorFound store is $800, with an average discount of 43%, indicating that shoppers are seeking quality, sustainability, and rapid delivery, in addition to value.

"With many industries impacted by supply chain complications, we know customers appreciate fast and free shipping – which Burrow has always offered," continued Kuhl. "Now, our FloorFound partnership means that we can return popular designs to the marketplace and connect buyers quickly with sought-after products."

Burrow designs high-quality, long-lasting furniture – and each piece is constructed using scratch-resistant surfaces and sustainable, stain-resistant fabrics. When customers rearrange their spaces or move to a new home, they can simply reconfigure Burrow pieces with modular add-ons and accessories for decades of enjoyment. This focus on durability and long-term customer relationships is a perfect match for FloorFound's mission to power the circular economy.

"By launching a recommerce channel that gives high-quality merchandise a second life, Burrow is moving away from the linear 'Make, Take, and Trash' model," said FloorFound founder and CEO Chris Richter. "Customers are happy because they can take delivery of resold items that are already here in the U.S., and they're helping conserve our planet's resources in the process."
