Discipline · Custom Furniture What we build

Furniture that fits the room it was built for.

A bookcase that ends exactly at the window casing. A dining table sized to the rug you already own. A media wall that hides every cable and still leaves room for the speakers. This is the work that doesn't ship flat.

Frank D'Esposito has been running the shop since 2003. The same crew that builds our kitchens builds the furniture — same CAD process, same Sherwin-Williams finish booth, same Gizir and Querkus veneers we use for cabinetry. The only difference is that a piece of furniture has six sides that show, and every one of them gets the same finish work as a cabinet door.

If you can describe it, draw it, or hand us a photo, we can scope it. We've built one-offs across the East Valley and into commercial spaces; most start as a sketch on the back of a measurement, then move into a shop drawing before a single board is cut.

How a commission begins

A measurement, a sketch, and an honest conversation about what it costs.

Most commissions start the same way — a phone call or a contact-form note describing the piece, the room, and roughly when you'd like to live with it.

From there we'll come measure, talk through species and finish, and put a CAD shop drawing in front of you before anything is committed. You'll see the proportions, the joinery approach, and the finish samples — and you'll see the number — before we ask for a deposit. We don't draw for free forever, but we draw enough to make sure you're approving the right piece.

Our finishers work with Sherwin-Williams; our veneers and panels come from Gizir and Querkus / Decospan. Those partnerships are why a custom piece from us looks consistent in five years instead of yellowing or flaking at the field joints.

Method Commission Flow

From a sketch on a napkin to a piece in your room.

01

Sketch & Brief

Send us a photo, a Pinterest board, a rough drawing, or just a paragraph. We'll come measure the room, talk through how the piece will be used, and write down what we heard so nothing gets lost.

02

CAD Shop Drawing & Quote

Our shop drawings show the piece in elevation and section, every species and finish called out, every hardware choice noted. You approve the drawing; that drawing becomes the build contract.

03

Prototype & Samples

For unusual pieces or unfamiliar finishes, we'll mock up a corner or a sample door so you can see species, grain, and color in your actual lighting before the run starts.

04

Build

The piece is built in our Gilbert shop on Monterey St. — not in a subcontractor's garage. You're welcome to visit during the build; many clients do.

05

Finish

Sherwin-Williams stains, sealers, and topcoats applied in our finish booth, not on a job site. The piece leaves the shop fully cured.

06

Delivery & Install

We deliver and place the piece, level and scribe built-ins to your walls, and walk you through any care notes for the finish. We pack out our own debris.

Knowledge FAQ

Commission questions, answered.

What's a typical lead time for a custom piece?

It depends on the scope and on the shop's current backlog. A single piece of furniture is usually in the eight-to-twelve-week range from approved shop drawing to delivery; built-ins and entertainment walls run longer. We'll give you a real date in the quote, not a guess.

Can I bring you a photo or a Pinterest reference?

Yes — that's how most commissions start. We'll talk through what's structural in the reference versus what's stylistic, and we'll show you on the CAD drawing where we'd diverge from the source image to make the piece work in your room.

What woods and materials can you work in?

Solid hardwoods (walnut, white oak, maple, cherry, alder), veneered panels through Gizir and Querkus / Decospan, and any of the standard Sherwin-Williams stain and paint finishes. If you want a species we don't stock, we'll source it and price it into the quote.

How is the deposit structured?

Typical structure is a deposit at shop-drawing approval, a progress payment when the build is underway, and the balance on delivery. Exact percentages are written into your contract — we don't change them after the fact.

Will it match the cabinetry or trim we already have?

Almost always. We can color-match an existing finish from a door sample or a drawer front you bring in. If the match needs to be exact, we'll do a sample on the same species before we finish the piece.

Do you deliver and install?

Yes — anywhere in the East Valley and the broader Phoenix metro. Built-ins are scribed and fastened in place; freestanding furniture is delivered, placed, and leveled. We handle the debris.
