I'm very impressed with the furniture here.  Like the name says, this is mainly a wood furniture store, so they don't do upholstered furniture.  The furniture they do carry ranges from coffee tables and lamps to cushioned sofas, and wardrobes.  This company started out building murphy beds and lofts, and they still build those, but they seem to more focused on more traditional furniture now.

The majority of the furniture is made from cherry, although I think you could order walnut or mahogany too.  The quality of construction seems to be excellent; except for draw bottoms, all of the furniture is hardwood. The drawers are all dovetailed and the rest of the joinery seems to be solid as well.

I really like the furniture designs they use.  The designs range from mission style furniture to more contemporary and I think the style is a lot more interesting that what's available at the bigger chain stores.  All of the furniture I saw had an oil finish, so if you like the effects like the ebonized wood or the Pottery-Barn style milk paint, this isn't the place for you.

Since the furniture is built locally, it may be more expensive than some of the larger stores, but its on par with Pottery Barn or Ethan Allen.  I've looked at quite a few furniture stores and I've been most impressed with the fit and finish and style of this furniture.
