and video cabinets, bookcases, dining tables, buffets, hutches, desks, cabinets,

chairs, barstools and more. If custom sizes or custom pieces are needed, we can

build what you want. Whether it’s natural ability or experience, the results make

us just as proud of our artisans as we are of our fine McKinnon furniture.

Our customers tell us they are proud to own McKinnon pieces because of our

superior hardwood furniture craftsmanship, “simply elegant” designs, and excellent

customer service. This is the foundation of all that we have been doing since

1989. You can feel the difference in handmade furniture with just one touch of

your hand. The warm colors and rich hardwood grains capture your eye. You

compare the elegant balance of curves, symmetry and proportion against the

furniture knowledge you’ve gathered, tested and refined over the years. This

is definitely fine woodworking. You recognize the craftsmanship with all your

senses. It is the culmination of everything being done just right, by people who

know the craftman’s art of handmade custom wood furniture.
