5 reasons why our custom furniture is of the highest quality

A perfect fit.

Unlike pre-fab furniture, our pieces can look like they were built with your home.

By their nature, mass-produced cabinets are not made to fit your space. How can they be? The factories don't know how tall your ceilings are, or how wide your wall is.

For example, most pre-made shelves are only about seven feet high, which leaves a gap on top to collect dust bunnies. ​​That's why store-bought cabinets never really look like they are part of your home.

But we can build shelves to blend into your home perfectly, like this built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcase which is ten feet tall and the perfect width for this wall.

Plus, we'll come to your home and install your furniture right up against the wall, working around the baseboard or removing it if necessary. Then we'll caulk and paint the piece in place so that it looks like it's always been there.

For example, this bench is brand new, but it looks like it's a seamless part of the fireplace next to it.

Handmade means customizable.

With mass-produced furniture, you get what they want to sell you. You're usually limited in your options.

With our locally made furniture, you can start with one of our templates or choose from a variety of materials, finishes and styles so that you get exactly what you're looking for.

You can even adjust the small details, such as whether your shelves will be fixed or adjustable, or a combination of the two.

Sturdy materials.

We're very picky about the materials we use, because we want them to still be beautiful twenty years from now.

Compare that to mass-produced furniture, which is usually made from cheap materials like particle board and laminate that can warp and sag when you actually put them to use.

We use a variety of hardwoods, often locally sourced from the small lumber businesses in the mountains around Asheville.

​For example, this desk is made of vintage chestnut slabs paired with walnut.

We also use hardwood veneer, which has a deep, lustrous grain like solid wood, but is more stable and less likely to warp or twist as time goes by.

That's why you can find veneer on fine antiques made centuries ago: it's gorgeous, and it really lasts.

No assembly required.

Most pre-fab furniture is shipped flat and has to be assembled onsite, which can be stressful if you don't have the tools and know-how.

All of our furniture includes free installation and delivery in the Asheville area.  You can just relax and let us take care of it.

We guarantee our work for a full year.

With a typical mass-produced cabinet, you'll only have a few weeks to return it if there's a problem. 

But we believe in our handmade furniture so much that we offer a One Year Warranty on our workmanship.  That means that in the unlikely event something goes wrong, we'll come out and fix it, because we really want you to love the furniture we make for you. You're very unlikely to get that kind of guarantee with cabinets from a "big box" store.

The bottom line is that custom furniture looks better and lasts longer. So scroll down and...
