Background:
Smithson Woodworks is a small shop in Woodstock, Illinois, founded by James Smithson. With over 40 years of design and building experience you can be assured you will get a quality product every time. In joining the family business, his son Jonathon brings contemporary design and growth to the business.
Design Philosophy:
Furniture should seamlessly combine form and function. Most box-store furniture is designed to appeal to a wide array of people thus it lacks distinct style and detail. Custom-built furniture allows you to tailor the piece to the individual customer and opens the door to infinite possibilities. Our design style is based on combining classic design features with contemporary elements to create a unique style that will be cherished for many years. The character of each piece is obtained by using different woods to create contrast in color as well as texture and pattern. (Click for more about woods)
Commitment to Quality:
We believe that furniture should be built to last. This is achieved by using the highest quality components including hardware, wood and finishes. Our attention to detail from every glue joint to the final coat of finish ensures your piece will last a lifetime. We take the utmost pride in our products and stand behind them 100%.
The future of Smithson Woodworks:
We are continually expanding our product line as well as evolving into new markets. We feel the green movement – local sourcing, sustainable resources, environmentally responsible practices – will become ever more relevant to furniture construction. We aim to be at the forefront of this movement.
