Most your furniture is going to be American made anyway. Shipping bulky furniture is cost prohibitive.
But to answer your question, it depends on the product and dropoff in quality. I buy US manufactured tools because they'll last a lifetime compared to their chinese counterparts. But if we're talking about shoes or clothes, I don't even look at where it's made. I just look for quality materials and stitching. |

I try to buy the best that I can afford. But of course I would rather pay a little more for American made products than foriegn products all other things being equal.

This. If an item is available that is made in the USA that is somewhat higher I will generally pay the extra. I have a decent job and I always try to support our own when possible.
