It’s been a while since our latest Brand Spotlight, so today, we’re getting back to it! We’re highlighting Durham Furniture, a Canadian company that we know you’ll love just as much as we do!
What type of products does Durham Furniture manufacture?
Since 1899, Durham Furniture has been making heirloom-quality pieces in the charming town of Durham, Ontario, Canada. They make bedroom furniture (beds, chests, dressers, nightstands, and armoires) as well as occasional tables, benches, and more. Our showroom display features the Chateau Fontaine Collection, a sophisticated yet country-inspired set, as well as the Defined Distinction Collection, which has a classy and contemporary feel to it. Come on by to see it!
Can I customize their pieces?
If you’re into custom furniture, you’re in luck! Durham’s Perfect Balance Program lets you choose the furniture design, finish, and hardware. The design is in your hands! If you’d like to start designing your custom piece, head on over to the Perfect Balance website. It’s always helpful to see exactly how your piece will look. Then, pop in to see the samples in real life. Our sales team will help you finalize the perfect piece for your home.
And, who exactly is Durham Furniture?
As we mentioned earlier, they are a Canadian company (which we love) and all of their furniture is made from sustainably harvested wood, which is very important in our changing climate. They employ approximately 170 craftspeople and are a tight-knit group of folks who are passionate about creating quality furniture.
Since Durham Furniture has been around for a long while, we might as well see what the beginnings were like for them! According to the History page on their website (make sure to give it a read), a community initiative to provide employment for the people of Durham was what started Durham Furniture. The town purchased a six-acre piece of land for $500, which remains the present site of Durham Furniture today!
Consider Durham!
Durham Furniture remains one of North America’s leading manufactures of solid wood furniture. We hope you’ll stop by to see our display and consider one of these gorgeous solid wood pieces for your home.
