Why Custom Furniture

There was and age when quality was a way of life. Everyday objects such as furniture were carefully handcrafted using solid, honest materials. The craftsman signed his name to each piece, an assurance of excellence and integrity.

This era gradually gave way to the age of "industrialization." Mass produced objects became cheap and readily available. Traditional materials such as fine hardwoods were replaced with manufactured products such as particle board or vinyl veneer. Screws and staples replaced careful joinery. The results are familiar to all of us.

The alternative of fine, custom-crafted hardwood furniture is still available. Ron Diefenbacher designs and makes exquisite pieces to meet your needs and tastes. Your furniture is handcrafted using traditional methods of fine woodworking. Each piece is original and unique, a statement of individuality. This combination of fine design and quality craftsmanship results in furniture made to endure for generations, a contemporary heirloom.

How do you transform this vague concept into a beautiful, functional reality? The process may seem daunting to the uninitiated. To help you better understand here is an outline of a typical course of events.
