A Letter from our Customer Like many wives, I have suffered through untold nights with poor sleep due to my husband’s snoring (I admit, my spring allergies have caused me to snore too in recent years). After investigating CPAP therapy and numerous “better sleep” websites, a friend recommended that I look into “incline sleep”. Various sites on this subject agreed that inclining our frame with a 5% slope would in their research help improve and […]

History of Desks While the standing desk is a recent phenomenon, desks and work surfaces have been utilized by humans for centuries. The earliest written history of the desk can be traced back to Medieval times in which illustrations show the first desks being used for reading and writing. During the Renaissance, desks became slimmer and the use of drawers became more prolific. In the 1850’s we became familiar with the first change in desk […]

When I was growing up, I was an active little boy spending my days exploring the world and playing Cowboys and Indians. When I became exhausted from the day’s adventures I would stagger into my twin bed but I always yearned for a bunk bed!

So, we have designed several new tables that are clean, functional and great looking. We are organizing the tables into several groups- Nightstands- usually used in the bedroom and have a drawer to keep things out of sight Side Table- can be […]

I was helping in the shop today and I was reminded why we work with Premium American hardwoods. I was applying linseed oil to pieces for new tables and the wood made me stop and appreciate the natural beauty. I decided to take a photo of oak and walnut pieces that had oil on one half of it…. As you can see, the oil finish just enriches the natural glow of the wood grain with all […]
