The
pride and detail we put into our furniture translates into quality you
can trust. We make the extra effort to go above and beyond to bring you
superior craftsmanship and timeless design. Our purpose-built facility
for computer assisted design (CAD) drafting, 3D modeling and
prototyping, ensures a seamless transition from concept to manufacture,
and our high-end imported machines cut components to precise
measurements.
In addition to using local wood in our products,
like mahogany, teak, acacia and white cedar, we also import oak, spruce,
maple, and other timbers from Europe. We hold large stocks of logs
which we saw to specification in our own sawmill, treat for insect and
fungus infestation and then kiln dry in our computer-controlled kilns.
All
of our non-wood furniture components conform to international standards
as well, including fire retardant foam and upholstery, lead-free
finishing materials, safety glass, etc. We are a member in good standing
of FIRA (Furniture Industry
Research Association.) For 60 years, FIRA has developed many of the test
methods that form the basis of furniture standards worldwide. We work
closely with this organization and retain all test samples and written
results on file for our customers.
To assure our customers solid,
long lasting furniture, we use time-honored construction techniques,
including tongue and groove, finger jointing, mortise and tenon, and
dovetail joints.
Wood is alive. Even after thorough air and
subsequent kiln drying, wood still expands and shrinks according to
changes in humidity and temperature. Every aspect of construction on
every piece we make anticipates this movement, virtually eliminating the
warping, cracking, or splitting which you may have experienced with
other manufacturer's products.
For years of trouble-free use, we
use only the best quality local and imported brass and stainless steel
drawer pulls and knobs, handles, hinges, drawer rails, and other
fittings and hardware.
Our products are offered in a wide variety
of colors and finishes, including stains, paints, fine to heavy
distressing, metal gilding, French polishing, hand-painted motif
patterns, hand tooled metal and leather applications and more. We mix
and develop colors and finishes in our own on-site facility for
application on 3 automated finishing lines which incorporate traditional
hand application, adding a warm, human touch to each piece. And we are
continuously developing new finishes in our lab so the finish you get on
your furniture is limited only by your imagination!
To ensure
that your furniture arrives in first rate condition, our standard
packaging includes foam sheets and specially made corrugated corner and
edge protectors in a hard-carton box. We can also engineer custom
packaging on site to suit your particular needs, as well as providing
personalized labeling, printing of your logo, and any other specific
information you may require, upon your request.
