Why Shaker Style?
When you buy at Shaker Style, you support an American small business and buy directly from a craftsman working in his chosen trade. We are an independent retailer. Competition from big box and mega chain retailers seem to threaten the long-term viability of the independent-store format. But our local shop is withstanding the threat by doing what we do best: offering magnificent products and superior customer service.
A common bond between us and our valued customers is the appreciation of quality and craftsmanship. Our products are superior in wood choices and finish. You will find clarity in the wood grain from our hand sanding and no sags or drips in our hand rubbed finishes. Our heirloom quality pieces are built for you and for generations to come.
Testimonials
“The first piece that came in the door today was the blanket chest & I was speechless. Every piece is perfect in every way & I can tell the wood was hand selected piece by piece. Thank you so very much for a truly positive experience. Stephen you are a superior craftsman! I hope you continue to make furniture for many years to come, because this is certainly not our last purchase.” Debra & Scott Lindell
"I am enjoying my new furniture very much. My husband was sitting in the porch swing looking through the living room window and he said that it looks so comfortable and beautiful that it just invites you to come in and relax. My son, the future furniture maker, got down on the floor and inspected every inch of it. He repeated that he was to get any furniture that came from you when I die!" D. Pattillo
"Everyone that comes in looks at the table and benches first! It really is an eye piece! It is awesome! I love it and so does everyone else here. Thanks for everything!" G. Clark
"Now that four years have passed, we are even happier! The cherry has seasoned nicely, and the furniture is the focal point of our house. What's amazing to us is that the swelling/shrinking of the wood has been minimal to nonexistent. In the hutch, every single door and drawer opens and closes just a smoothly and evenly as when you first crafted it for us." V. White
"Well, the blanket chest arrived a few weeks ago, it looks very at home here in Tokyo. The solidity of the construction is very satisfying and the grain is lovely, as is the scent of cedar when I open the lid." D. Lucas
"We just wanted you to know how completely thrilled we are with our pieces. They are beautiful. The wood Steve selected is amazing. Steve's handiwork is more so. We couldn't be happier. Thank you for your wonderful work and the care that went into making these pieces for us. We'll be back when we need something else!" M. Carter

"The sofa table is perfect—and beautiful. Your work is so fine, the graining of the wood so well chosen, it is easy to call you an artist as well as a craftsman—we both love your work." E.R. & D.A.
"We were thrilled to receive our Arch Panel Bed and Dresser. Beyond being two very useful & needed pieces of furniture, they are beautiful pieces of art. When we lived in Washington DC, we saw a sensational exhibit of the finest in Shaker furniture at the Smithsonian. The pieces we now own could easily have taken their place in the exhibit." S.R. & J.T.
