Durability & Longevity


Solid wood furniture is known for its robustness and ability to stand the test of time. It resists wear and tear much better than furniture constructed from particleboard or MDF and capped with a thin veneer. This makes solid wood ideal for pieces that get heavy use, like dining tables, desks and bed frames. With proper care, solid wood furniture can last for generations and become an heirloom for your family.


Timeless Appeal


Wood has a natural warmth and beauty that never goes out of style. Solid wood furniture features unique grains and textures that add depth to any room. Dealing with a natural product ensures that each piece is unique and distinct. Whether furnishing a modern or rustic home, wood furniture's versatility will complement various interior styles seamlessly.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable


Our solid wood furniture is sourced responsibly, making it an eco-friendly choice. Our builders use sustainably harvested wood reducing their environmental impact. The Mennonites who craft our furniture will use scraps as firewood to heat their homes and shavings to keep animals in the barn warm at night. Solid wood furniture has a much longer lifespan than composite furniture, reducing the need for replacements and minimizing waste in landfills.


Easy to Maintain & Repair


Wood furniture is remarkably easy to maintain. All you need is to wipe clean with a damp cloth and dust occasionally to maintain its finish. In the event of minor damage, solid wood can be sanded, refinished or painted and repurposed making it look as good as new. MDF and veneers are virtually impossible to repair making solid wood furniture a smart choice for long-term value.


Enhanced Value Over Time


One of the unique advantages of solid wood furniture is its ability to gain character as it ages. Well crafted solid wood pieces often become more valuable over time as they acquire a desirable patina and rich history. This makes solid wood not only a functional purchase but also an investment as pieces could become vintage or antique treasures in the future.
