About Us

Denver Custom Furniture Design, Fabrication and Certified Welding

BEST OF HOUZZ AWARD WINNER! Where Wood Meets Steel has established itself as the destination for sourcing high-end, custom-designed furniture and distinctive urban wood slabs and lumber. With over ten years in business, we salvage and repurpose felled, American hardwood trees, designing and fabricating custom furniture and fixtures for living and working spaces. Our core business grew from the urge to rescue the local, mature hardwood trees of Denver being cut down due to disease or age, and the desire to offer people a custom solution for their space and lifestyle. Many of these trees are considered ‘invasive species’ or are at the end of their life and we provide the outlet for giving them new life. By definition, no two slabs are alike, and each piece of each tree reveals its own beauty and inspires its new form and function. Pairing these sustainable, reclaimed trees with certified American-made steel (a recycled material in itself) has become our signature style. Our pieces are well-designed, well-crafted, functional works of art designed and built to last a lifetime. Our clients are homeowners, architects, designers and business owners. They are discerning and seek quality, custom, unique pieces that perfectly fit their environment. Strong and enduring, our work is designed and built with climate in mind to avoid compromising its integrity, allowing it to last for generations.

Where Wood Meets Steel was fantastic to work with. We needed 8 ft. long, solid 1-1/2" by 2" highly custom solid steel door pulls. We gave them a photo of what we wanted and they took it from there. They turned out just as they said they would, for the price quoted and ahead of when we needed them. We look forward to providing Marina, Ryan and their team more opportunities.

Ryan and his team at Where Wood Meets Steel did an outstanding job for me. I commissioned 3 pieces for them, and each one exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and aesthetic beauty. We maintained a dialogue throughout the design and manufacture process, and they were delivered earlier than expected. I would recommend WWMS very highly, and am already planning to use them again.

I contacted Ryan and Marina last summer after encountering images of their work via online searches. I live in a unique industrial space in Denver and wanted a 12-foot high bookcase with retractable ladder as well as a large sliding barn door for our den/cave. They visited the space, I gave them some rough ideas of what I had in mind, and they did the rest. I am grateful for their hard work and attention to detail. Everything went smooth all the way through installation. Attached are images of the finished products. The bookcase was Priority #1 for me but the barn door is untouchable. If you find one that looks better, give me a call.

We have used WWMS for 4 projects so far. We started with the entry way bench, hired him for the corner table, followed with the red top table, floating shelves and finally the sideboard. Each of these projects were designed and implemented by Ryan and his team and they all came out beautifully. We are thinking of hiring them yet again to make a railing for the top of our stairs. While perhaps not the least expensive the value and workmanship is superb.

We worked closely with WWMS for a custom counter-top in our kitchen. We could not be more pleased with both the craftsmanship and customer service. Any question or concern we had along the way of the project was promptly addressed. We ended up with a counter-top which is a piece of art, the center of our home, and inevitable conversation starter. It is our hope we can work with WWMS in the future to design additional pieces for our home and will, without hesitate, provide our highest level of recommendation for beauty and quality of custom creations!

Ryan and the team at Where Wood Meets Steel are phenomenal! We needed two 7 foot tables that were wood and steel mixed, with a 5" back board to house a strip with power, USB and HDMI. They designed a couple of options for us to choose from. We went to their shop and were able to pick the wood we wanted to use. Their price was perfect, their time frame was perfect and their customer service was perfect. The Tables are beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I thoroughly enjoyed working with this group of people. Job well done and I would highly recommend them to everyone!

Where Wood Meets Steel was an absolute joy to work with. They offered just the right amount of creative help and then produced a work of art. They installed our table on time and under budget. Everyone we worked with was friendly and professional. We would recommend them without hesitation.

We initially contacted Ryan at Where Wood Meets Steel for a small table top project, but we were so impressed with their original work that we also asked them to make us a more formal dining room table. They did a fabulous job. Ryan was extremely helpful in walking us through the project with various ideas along the way. We were able to review the actual slabs that they used. Ryan and his team are true craftsman. This table is of the highest quality with original character that you won't find in a store showroom. Everyone that enters our home raves about this beautiful table. We highly recommend Where Wood Meets Steel.

Ryan and the team at WWMS designed and crafted our Black Walnut Live Edge Dining Room Table. Ryan was very responsive to our initial email inquiry and then met us at a Denver slab source to help us select a great slab. Ryan carefully listened to our preferences and provided us with finish options and with design options for the legs of our table. We contacted several other companies across the country prior to finding WWMS, but we were reluctant to place an order; we're glad we didn't. Working with Ryan, enabled us to design a beautiful table that we love and that will be able to hand down to future generations of our family.

We were lucky enough to find Where Wood Meets Steel after we got frustrated looking at tables available at local stores and online. Even though the were busy with many ongoing projects, engaging with Ryan and the WWMS team was easy. We had our own log of wood (old walnut log from the family property out of state...) that they were able to receive that log from us, mill it, dry it, and use it in creating 3 amazing tables that were designed with considerable input from us. The tables are what we wanted and not what a national store chain offers... unique, solid/strong, and above all very beautiful.

I've worked with Where Wood Meets Steel on several projects since I moved my design firm to Denver. They are creative, easy to work with and the quality of their work is unsurpassed. They are also very good at dealing with clients and are communicative and open to hearing input for everyone involved in the project. In addition, they meet their deadlines and bring the project in on budget. I will be working with them on many more projects in the future.

It is not just a table it’s a work of art. Working with the owners and creators of Where Wood Meets Steel couldn't have been easier. They listened to my thoughts, and used their own creative & artistic talents to create a table that sits two intimately, yet sits 10 comfortably. How they pulled that off, I will never know! But I do know I will treasure this piece for years to come…..Without any hesitation, I would highly recommend using Where Wood Meets Steel!

We had Where Wood Meets Steel develop some intricate woodwork for our tradeshow booth. Despite it being a new endeavor for them, they were meticulous and created jaw dropping work. We received SO many compliments! They were also so easy to work with- answering any/all questions, being available to help, etc... I would DEFINITELY recommend WWMS to anyone looking for beautiful work to be done.

We hired Where Wood Meets Steel to design and build custom fixtures for our boutique wine shop in Washington Park and it was one of our best decisions to date. Ryan and his crew are true artists and craftsmen. They demonstrated passion and integrity from design to installation. We did finish slightly over budget but not due to Where Wood Meets Steel. They presented us with finishing options that would save us money but also presented best case options which we elected to choose and the slight upgrade was worth every penny. If you are looking for an unique build-out and/or artful furniture look no further.

In 2013 we remodeled our hair salon and Where Wood Meets Steel made the project a huge success with their custom designs. We had 12 hair styling stations and our reception desk made. The furniture is absolutely amazing! Their attention to detail, quality of materials and ability to not lose it while dealing with an indecisive client took a lot of pressure off of us during a major move. Ryan and his team were professional, on time and extremely helpful when it came to guiding us towards a successful and well working product. I look forward to having more projects with them! Grand Salon says thank you!

Where Wood Meets Steel is a true find! They are the perfect marriage of artists of wood and steel and engineers. Each piece they create is a reflection of them as an artist therefore it penetrates their soul. I've used them over and over and over again because their work, creativity and value is unmatched.

Commented: Would love to know the price of this table in 90-96” size.This is walnut, but could be stained any color. Pricing will depend on the wood species chosen, but if you want a dark stain, you could use a more cost effective wood than walnut. Please feel free to ...
