Heirloom Quality Furniture

In a time where almost every new piece of furniture is made as cheaply as possible, our main interest and goal is to make only the best quality furniture; right here in the United States.

Our Furniture is built with the intention of possessing a lifespan longer than that of your own.  The idea is to only buy once; preserving resources for everyone.  Less time + money will be spent, less trees will be cut, and less fuel will be burned when engaging purchases with this type of ideology.

We firmly believe that purchasing our solid wood furniture, crafted with mortise + tenon joinery, will provide you with a product which you will never need to replace.  We build with this traditional type of joinery, hand crafted with modern procedures + techniques to maintain efficiency.  Each table is handmade with the highest quality domestic hardwood and a specific focus on overall build quality and longevity.

Invest in our furniture with the intention of passing it down to your children.  It’s once again time for the United States to be known for it’s long-lasting products, quality design + craftsmanship.

Guarantee

We are certain that our furniture is built to endure the test of time; which is why we offer a lifetime warranty on all of our work.  If the joinery ever fails due to craftsmanship, we will repair or replace it.

Warranty Repair Policy Details

The lifetime warranty we offer guarantees that the joinery in your furniture will never fail.  Intact joinery is the most essential component in a piece of furniture.  The warranty does not cover damages resulting from abuse, normal wear and tear, or cosmetic damages to the wood surface or to the finish that do not affect the functionality of the furniture.  If its visibly obvious that the joinery failed due to severe abuse, the warranty will be void.

Wood is a natural product which engages it’s environment sometimes in unpredictable ways.  Over time, after the furniture experiences many years of seasonal changes + moisture exchanges, it is possible (though unlikely) for small cracks and splits to develop.  By purchasing our solid wood furniture, you are accepting this as a possible risk.  If you ever need to apply your warranty, you are only responsible for relocating the furniture back to its warranty destination.

A wood finish is only preventing the inevitable…Regardless of the type of finish, it will scratch, dent, and abrade over the years.  Unless of course you live in a museum and use a coaster for your coaster.  While it is very possible to keep the finish in very good condition for a decade or so, most people don’t tend to protect their furniture in this manner.  Refinishing a piece of furniture in time is an essential part of maximizing it’s overall lifespan.
