The United States is home to several legendary legacy furniture makers renowned for uncompromising, heirloom-grade craftsmanship and solid wood construction. Prominent elite names include Stickley (famous for handcrafted Mission-style furniture utilizing mortise-and-tenon joinery), Harden Furniture, Milling Road, and high-end custom upholstery workrooms in North Carolina that rely on time-honored hand-building techniques rather than automated mass production.
