Manufacturer Information

Flat Rock Furniture is America's leading maker of hand crafted Appalachian furniture. Made in America by skilled craftsman we continue to lead in producing historic designs and new designs for collectors of this venerable American design.

For over three hundred years Americans have constructed furniture from tree saplings. These naturally occurring small trees are stunted, from the shade of larger trees in the forest. They commonly are thirty to forty years old with diameters less than six inches. Abundant in supply, their dense wood is perfect for steaming and bending to create perhaps the strongest wood furniture made today. The choice specie of wood for this purpose is Hickory a dense and fibrous wood valued for its strength and durability. Known as nearly indestructible, Hickory Furniture has become prized by collectors who seek examples of early American hand crafts.
