Custom Furniture Builders in Boston

“For years I had been searching for a small dining table in a dark, earthy brown. I wanted it to pull in history like a whirlwind, kick up the raw smell of dirt, tumble the rugged American West into the rustic Spanish countryside. Maybe I have a weakness for marketing. But Pier 1 Imports and Crate & Barrel had lured me with their romantically named “Arapaho” and “Basque” furniture sets. The problem was, like a lot of major retailers, they did not offer such dining tables in smaller sizes. I kept looking. Finally, this summer I came across the website of Saltwoods. At last, a local studio that lets you customize every element from dimensions, to wood species, to color! The variety of choices is amazing. I picked a stain called “tobacco” on white oak and the vision of my Basque table was complete. Now my dining area is so warm and inviting – I feel there’s a fireplace even when there isn’t. The food and wine taste better. It was impressive, too, that despite global shortages of raw material and labor, the production was completed sooner than projected. The price fit my budget and the entire Saltwoods team was a pleasure to deal with. They worked with me to get the details just right, and really seem to take pride in their work. The guys who made the table also delivered it. Customer service is first class. I’m so happy to have found this studio. It’s now one of the first places I shop when I need something special. I hope you check this place out!”

“Guys who love what they do and we love the product. I had been searching for almost a year for the right breakfast table to go in our newly redone kitchen. Then I found Lighthouse furniture. I went to their work room and picked out the style and wood. Now we have a custom made table that fits our eat in space perfectly! We get many compliments on it. We love that it is reclaimed wood from a barn in Pennsylvania not far from where I grew up.”
