Skilled trades
We hire experienced upholsterers, sewers, cutters, and frame builders — craft first.
Hourly, not piece rate
Our sewers are paid hourly so the right amount of time goes into every piece.
Custom work
No two orders are alike. Fabrics, finishes, and details change piece to piece.
Built to endure
Kiln-dried hardwood, double-doweled joints, lifetime-warranted frames.
Eight-way hand tying is an art passed down through generations of craftsmen and women.
The craft
Kiln-dried North Carolina hardwood, precision-cut and assembled by hand. Double-doweled joints and corner blocks. Eight-way hand tied coil springs. Panels cut and sewn so that lines and patterns match all the way around the piece. It’s demanding work, and it takes trained hands.
Cutting & 360° tailoring
Panels cut and sewn so lines and patterns match perfectly from every angle — front, side, and back.
Sewing
A labor-intensive process that is crucial to a fine piece of upholstery, done hourly rather than by the piece.
Finishing & inspection
Every piece is checked against the ticket before it’s wrapped and shipped to the customer.
Benefits
Full-time associates are eligible for coverage after their introductory period. Full details will be shared during the interview process.
