Meet our team
Arthur Teel is our resident craftsman, and he will also meet with you to talk about your project.
Arthur started building furniture as a teenager. His first apprenticeship was with Max Green, an architect and furniture designer who was renowned for his free-form sculptural furniture. He then went on to work with Bruce Nygren, a master custom cabinet maker. By the age of 23, he was collaborating with artist Gene Alcott to create works for the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. Arthur has also had work in William Word Fine Antiques in Atlanta, GA, side-by-side with investment-quality antiques. His custom furniture has been used in homes by top designers nationwide. Here in Asheville, he has displayed in the Grovewood Gallery, one of the premiere American furniture galleries. |
Faith Teel works behind the scenes answering the phone, creating 3D designs of your project, and making sure everything runs smoothly.
She consults closely with Arthur for every design, working to recreate your room and your ideas so you can envision exactly what your furniture will look like in your home. Faith graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a degree in Studio Art, and she also has over 20 years of experience in customer service and office administration. |
"Arthur and Faith Teel are a treasure: professionals you can count on to do work that is both functional and superb. . . . They have earned not only our loyalty, but also our admiration; they have our highest recommendation."

Our standards as custom cabinet makers
We build each project by hand, one at a time, with a goal of creating the best custom cabinets in the Asheville area. For example, Arthur spent extra time choosing just the right kind of wood for the doors of this tall modern cabinet to ensure that they wouldn't warp or twist.
The handmade nature of our furniture also allows us to install it as a seamless part of your home, with no gaps between the wood and the wall, so that it looks like it was always there.
These built in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves are a great example - we installed them right up against the wall, caulked them in place, and painted to match the trim. The end result integrates smoothly into the room so that the focus is on the beautiful books and objects on display in the bookcase.

We also offer a top-notch One-Year Warranty on our furniture, including the installation. In fact, we're so focused on providing the best quality possible that our warranty even covers coming out and recaulking any small cracks that could show up between the wall and the furniture... although we also use the best caulk available to avoid that in the first place. This is way beyond the industry standard, and it's another reason why we have a high rate of repeat customers and referrals.
That's why the pieces we build for you will stand up to the test of time and look great years from now. It's a real long-term investment in your home's value and comfort.

We also handle all of the shipping, assembly and installation so that the whole process is easy and smooth. This is what sets our work apart from pre-fab furniture, which often requires assembly, and almost never includes installation to our standards.
"Arthur was fantastic to work with. Very thorough and spent a lot of time researching to ensure proper wood selection. It was a smooth, modern, walnut, plain front cabinet with doors approx 8 ft. next to hot fireplace. Cabinet is beautiful, no issues with warping from heat. He provided a 3D virtual model of design so I could see it and the scale from all angles within the living space. Used him again for another smaller project. Highly recommend!"
