Craftsmanship and Materials –
Making beautiful furniture in America is our passion. Not a day goes by that we don't recognize how fortunate we are to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and come to work every day right alongside true artisans who were raised in these rugged hills and who take great pride in everything they do. Whether they are forging hot metal or hand-planing a solid wood table top, you can see and feel a sense of hand in every piece they make. There are no high speed production lines -- each piece is made one at a time, by hand. Our furniture is beautiful and it is designed to be used -- not pampered.
And speaking of "not pampered", not only do we make residential furniture, we make furniture for restaurants, hotels, resorts, assisted living facilities, offices, conference rooms, kitchen cabinet suppliers, granite and marble fabrication houses (who need strong bases to support their heavy tops). We've made furniture for well known retailers such as Room & Board, Restoration Hardware, Crate & Barrel, and Bloomingdales, just to name a few. We even made a custom bed for a famous boxer who had a body almost as big as his ego.
Product Care -
Maintenance on the items is fairly simple - Dusting with a dry lint free microfiber cloth or anything without chemicals is ideal. All iron and protected table top surfaces can be cleaned easily with mild soap and warm water. We recommend furniture polish be used regularly, every 1-2 months or as needed based on use. We ship all of our copper tops with a wax coating and recommend that you wax your copper table every 1-2months.
