I struggle to buy american. I do. For one thing american products are not required to mark the country of origin...in the USA it is assumed the country of origin is in the usa, but over time I have gotten tired of meticulously searching for that micro print font "made in China" hidden from view. Can anyone post a short list of who is and isn't using american wood and manufacturing their flooring in the USA?

You are not alone Willow.

Or add some more information in how you can better differentiate; make it easier for folks like yourself.

I've put some research into this recently. It can be frustrating. I can safely say #1 and #2 are all USA made, but Homerwood uses Baltic birch as their engineered base. IE; Russian or eastern Europe. Not sure if that makes a difference for you, because the FTC says all components have to be made in the USA to use the made in the USA statement. This is sometimes swayed. Not sure why. Politics?

1. Somerset. They did outsource (engineered only) from China until two years ago
2. Homerwood
3. Anderson - most of their lines
4. Shaw - about 85% USA made
5. Harris Wood - I believe 100%
6. Mannington - is pretty high, but not with the popular new wider plank styles.

There are many smaller mills that are entirely made in the USA with limited visibility on the internet. I could add WD, but for some reason, that guy (CEO) rubs me the wrong way. Can't put my finger on it.

Kevin could probably help in this department in adding more.

Curious what price range you're looking at.
