HEIRLOOMhomeEst. 1978

A family workshop since 1978

Furniture built to be handed down, not replaced.

Three generations, one workshop in Asheville. We mill our own lumber, cut our own joints, and put our initials under every rail we make. Order it today and your grandchildren will still be arguing over who gets it.

Why our furniture lasts

  • Cut by hand

    Mortise-and-tenon and hand-cut dovetails, not staples and dowels. It takes longer and it lasts longer.

  • Timber we can trace

    Hardwood from within 200 miles of the workshop, milled by us. We can tell you which county your table came from.

  • Guaranteed for life

    Frames, joinery and springs, for as long as you own the piece. If we can't repair it, we replace it.

  • Delivered properly

    Blanket-wrapped and brought into the room you want it in. Free on orders over $999.

How it’s made

Slow is the only method we know

Nothing here is assembled from flat pack. A dining table passes through six pairs of hands over about five weeks, and the last pair belongs to whoever signs the underside.

  1. We buy the log, not the board

    Buying whole logs is how the grain stays continuous across a tabletop. It also means we occasionally own a very expensive piece of oak for two years while it dries.

  2. Every joint is cut to fit

    Drawers are fitted individually to their openings. That is why all six in a dresser pull with the same weight, and why we cannot build one in a day.

  3. Finished so you can repair it

    Hardwax oil rather than a factory lacquer. A scratch comes out with steel wool and a rag on your own kitchen floor, no shipping required.

From the people sitting on it

  • “Four years and two toddlers into owning the Alder and it still looks better than the day it arrived. The slipcovers have been through the wash more times than I want to admit.”
    Priya N., Portland, ORBought the Alder Three-Seat Sofa
  • “I asked whether they could add four inches to the table. They sent back a drawing the same week and didn't charge me for it. It seats my whole family now.”
    Daniel W., Austin, TXBought the Thatcher Dining Table
  • “The dovetails on the sideboard drawers are the kind of thing you notice once and then think about every time you open one. Worth the six-week wait.”
    Marguerite O., Chicago, ILBought the Ashford Sideboard
