Furniture
This company started after listing my bar cart online and I sold one to a customer in California, I realized that it would cost around $200 to ship the bar fully assembled. These shipping costs were more than the sale price of my initial bar cart, so I had to rework the design and allow for it to pack flat. This reduced the shipping costs to $50, ΒΌ of the fully assemble shipping cost.
This is when the light bulb went off in my head and I realized that by designing furniture to ship efficiently I could create quality handmade furniture that is priced competitively with the big box furniture stores. After 6 years of producing flat packed furniture, these designs have progressed from using Home Depot construction grade materials to the hardwoods pictured below throughout continual drive to improve the end product.
I have sold over 800 of my items around the country (a few around the world) on Etsy and Amazon, I was also featured on Etsy's homepage.
