Scott at Rustic Elements Furniture is amazing! I met with him at his showroom to discuss a few tables for a project we were hired to design. We walked through the showroom talking about different styles, colors, finishes and wood species. Scott was very thorough with his explanations about wood species, fabrication, timelines, etc. and at the end of our meeting with selected two custom tables for our project. His installation team went above and beyond during the day of delivery to ensure that the tables were placed correctly and that their was no issues. We will definitely be using Rustic Elements for our future projects!

I have worked with Scott and Rustic Elements on many projects and they have become my go-to supplier of custom, locally-made furniture. They have excellent materials, finishes, craftsmanship, and customer service. I highly recommend them to both homeowners and design professionals!

I found Rustic Elements Furniture while looking for furniture on Houzz. I loved their custom, handmade, made in the USA tables. We had recently just purchased a new dining room table and we were looking for chairs for it, as well as coffee tables for our living and dining room. I did further research on this company and was amazed by the amount of 5 star Yelp reviews! My husband and I visited Rustic Elements in November 2016 and were immediately impressed with Scott Grzelak, and his beautiful furniture. We fell in love with a gorgeous walnut, natural slab table on display. We asked Scott if he could make coffee tables for us out of a slab of walnut. He had great ideas for us and made the ordering process very simple. We ordered 4 Tall Mission Chairs Solid Black with Scuffing and 2 Coffee Tables
made From one Larger Walnut Slab. One was roughly 52x40 with an
X Metal Base and the other was aprox. 32x32 with an Open Box Metal Base. Our pictures don't do these tables justice. I have added pictures of the walnut slab we chose (the before), and the after pictures. They are gorgeous, outstandingly made heirloom pieces.

We had a wonderful experience using this company and LOVE our dining table that they had custom made for us. The quality is excellent and we're always getting compliments on the workmanship of our table. The costumer service was also fantastic. I will definitely use this company again in the future.

After a disappointing search locally for a high quality farmhouse style table, I began searching online. I found Rustic Elements on Etsy, and am SO GLAD! I live several states away & was initially nervous about ordering without ever seeing a product in person, but almost as soon as I spoke with Scott I became more comfortable. He helped me with all of the design choices, and made recommendations based on our needs when I asked his advice. He emailed photos to help me better visualize, and really, the process was easier than I expected. And when the table arrived... WOW. I ordered a table, bench & chairs. The quality & craftsmanship is incredible!!! The table & bench are very heavy, this is some serious wood! And they are so beautiful. We are so impressed. And delivery, from halfway across the country... He arrived 4 minutes early! I would absolutely recommend Scott & his team, and would undoubtedly purchase another product from Rustic Elements.

I had been shopping for "rustic" dining room furniture in stores and online, and couldn't find exactly what I wanted....either the size was wrong, or the color was wrong. When I found Rustic Elements on Houzz, I went directly to their website. There I found pictures of several different table tops, table bases, chairs, and buffets. Although Rustic Elements is in Chicago and I'm in Maryland, I decided to give Scott a call and inquire about his services. At Rustic Elements you can choose the size and shape of your table top, and base, as well as choose your own color. Then there are also options for distressing and trim detail. With Scott's help, I was able to design my furniture to perfectly suit my space.
My expectations were exceeded when my furniture was delivered last weekend. I knew I was getting custom made furniture, but I was blown away by the quality and workmanship. As for the cost, you will not find anything near the quality anywhere for the price. My furniture was delivered to my door and assembled right here in my dining room, also for a reasonable fee.
I received a 60" round, belly pedestal table; 6 tall mission chairs; 2 san remo bar stools; and a 70" two-tone buffet. I couldn't be happier with my furniture, especially since I had a hand in choosing so many of the options.
I've attached photos, but they don't really do justice to the beauty of this furniture.
If you're looking for CUSTOM made furniture, give Rustic Elements a call. You will not be disappointed!!!

We found Rustic Elements on Houzz. When I saw the photo of Scott's Belly Pedestal Table, I new it was the table I wanted. The trouble was we live in Northport Alabama and Rustic Elements is in Chicago. We had never ordered anything like this off the internet and was a little nervous about doing so. We decided to do a "road trip" and go see if the table was as good as it looked. Scott met with us, answered all our questions, and showed us his shop and pieces of furniture he was about to deliver. My husband and I both agreed that within 10 minutes of meeting Scott you could tell he was a man of integrity. Our table was delivered in the time frame which Scott promised. It is the most beautiful piece of furniture in our house, but it is also solid. My husband and I would both highly recommend Scott and his team at Rustic Elements Furniture. They BUILD REAL furniture that can be used in your everyday life and hopefully for a few more generations! THANK YOU!!!!!!

If I could give Scott and Rustic Elements 6 stars I would. That's how great this local company is.
When we contacted Scott about constructing 2 custom tables, he invited us out to his shop. We spent nearly an hour discussing the tables and he welcomed my family into his workspace. He treated us like we were his only clients.
He was incredibly skillful at turning our vision into a reality. Not only did he take the time to carefully understand every detail that we wanted, but he also stood by his promised delivery date without compromising any quality. The table they made for us is pretty much the best piece of furniture we have in our house. We are thrilled with the table he constructed and look forward to the seeing the finished products from our upcoming orders.
Oh yeah by the way, the table is about the sturdiest and most well constructed piece I have ever seen. I usually shudder at the damage my 3 kids inflict on personal property, but I have no worries about this gem.
In this day and age, it is quite hard to find people who actually care about what they are doing. Scott and Rustic Elements care about what their name goes on and will not disappoint you. They are dedicated to making quality custom furniture. Plus, you will have a piece of furniture that is made right in your backyard with local materials by local people for a fair price -- that's pretty cool in this day and age of mass production.
If you are looking for a a great custom piece of furniture at a great price, you can stop your search now and call Rustic Elements. You will not be disappointed with the quality and customer service that Rustic Elements has to offer.

I came across Rustic Element's website on craigslist while looking for a farmhouse style dining table. After looking at hundreds of tables on-line, in catalogs, and in stores.... Rustic Elements seemed to be the place to go.
I was able to pick the size, color, leg style, distress level, purchase extra leaves, etc., and I got EXACTLY what I wanted for a price that is lower than many of the popular stores. They also delivered it and assembled it for no extra charge. Scott was great to work with, and I could not be more impressed with the quality of work.
Check out the Rustic Elements website to view tons of photos of beautiful tables, chairs, bookcases, etc. You will not be disappointed!

I can't express how happy I am with my table. Scott listened to what it was I wanted and was amazed at how he exceeded my expectations. It is solid, sturdy and beautiful. We just recently went back and made design plans for our center island. Beyond excited to see how that turns out.

Commented: Are ogee edges out of style now too?We fairly frequently will make a table with the ogee edge. It can be a bit more of the traditional look. It depends on what style you're going for.
