About the Craftsman's Woodshop

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't it easier to just browse the web?

While browsing the web it's easy to get caught up in the standard search engine search mode of having to conduct a number of searches to find exactly the right piece of furniture to suit your needs. At the Craftsman's Woodshop, I have done all that work for you, saving you valuable time and in the long run, your hard earned money. Moreover, the furniture and art pieces you find here are made by woodworkers that are dedicated to producing quality pieces that you can be proud to display in your home or business.  Why search when you can have it custom made for your home.

Why not just go to the furniture store?

These are not production pieces that you find in your local furniture store. There are a plethora of products that mass production is suited for. The concept of running out to the store and making a the purchase, bringing it home and setting it up in one day is a result of the fast paced lifestyle we have all become to accustomed to. However this convenience has come with a price. We pay for this convenience by sacrificing the quality, style and final satisfaction of the purchase. What we thought would last a lifetime generally lasts only a fraction of that.

Why should I buy furniture from the craftsmen on your site?

My wife is always laughing at my tendency to inspect furniture and cabinet construction at the local stores. I always end up shaking my head in disbelief of the lack of quality and ultimately the price tag for the less than desirable product. Most of the furniture on the mass market today is held together by staples, plastic parts and made of veneered particle board. I myself purchased a chest of drawers for my sons bedroom about 3 years ago and now it already is in need of replacement. I will soon be starting that project to build a new custom piece for him. The point here is that when you spend your hard earned money you want to know that a piece is going last more than just a few years and that you won't have to replace it prematurely. The furniture represented here is built to last.

Can this help our economy?

Absolutely, by working with woodworkers you find here, you are not only supporting the national economy but more importantly your local economy. Because you can find a craftsman in your own state your dollars are staying in your state. When you purchase furniture from a big box furniture store you have no idea where your money is going. The dollars you spend are more than likely going to a factory overseas while only a small portion remains in the country.

What makes your site better than other online furniture stores?

First of all, I don't consider this an online furniture store. This is setup to be a place where consumers can find quality furniture producers to build furnishings for their home or office. I have noticed that when conducting a search for, let's say a bed for example, many sites come up and when you browse through them you see the same bed from site to site. These indicates that the bed you are seeing is probably mass produced and not of the quality you are expecting. In addition, other sites that are like this one lack the information that we provide to you to aid your decision making process. There are links directly to the craftsman's own web page so you can learn more about them.
