We always put so much focus on the tabletop, but what about those legs?

I’m a perfectionist by nature and attention to detail has always been something I pride myself on. That being said, it can make doing things, like shopping for a new dining table, a challenge sometimes. I tend to be really indecisive because I like knowing what I’m choosing is the best possible product for me. I take everything from color, material used, shape, size and design into consideration.

Outdoor Patio Furniture Should Be Enjoyed Year After Year

When customers asked us to start carrying outdoor furniture, naturally, we searched for a real wood product. However, while there are weather resistant species such as cedar, teak, eucalyptus, and redwood that make fine outdoor furniture, we still worried about the longevity of the furniture, maintenance, and the environmental impact that the use of these woods is causing on forests around the world.

Simply Shaker Doesn’t Mean Shaker Furniture is Always the Same

If you frequent our blog, you’re probably an expert in Shaker Furniture. One thing I’ve noticed about shaker style furniture is how easily stereotyped it is. I’ve come to notice when people think of the Shaker style, they think of plain and simple furniture.
