We've combined all of our product lines into a new, easy-to-navigate site at GatCreek.com

We still build all of our furniture in the United States. We produce about half of our furniture in an over-sized workshop in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. A collection of more than 25 individual workshops – many owned by Amish and Mennonite families – hand builds the remainder in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

We approach furniture manufacturing in a holistic manner and take pride both in what we create and how we create it. We make each piece of furniture specifically for you. The artisan who makes it signs and dates his/her work. We work exclusively with domestic hardwoods, and we are careful that all of our wood comes from sustainably managed forests. We also create family-friendly jobs for over 150 talented people. Thanks to our locally sourced material and production, we avoid oil-intensive shipping, deforestation and the unmitigated pollution that's allowed with overseas production. Simply stated, we care equally about our products, our people and the environment.

We use no assembly lines. We simply learned to build furniture by copying antiques. Builders of the 19th century furniture, specialists in the art of fashioning pieces of wood together referred to themselves as "joiners". At that time, people bought furniture directly from the person who crafted it – long before the introduction of plywood and other engineered materials. By using the highest forms of construction

that allow solid wood to expand and contract over time and with the changes in season, joiners built furniture to outlast their customers' lifetimes. We hold this heritage sacred and apply it daily to our own work.

Solid-Wood Backs
We still build the backs of our furniture with solid wood. No form of plywood and “corner blocking” can give you a more solid or authentic piece of furniture.

Dovetailed Drawer Fronts
A favored technique of joiners, dovetailing allows two different pieces of wood to interlock and creates an unmatched level of stability.

Floating Panels
All of our door and side panels float inside their frames to allow for the natural expanding and contracting of solid wood.

Mortise & Tenon Construction
This classic technique, where boards are “joined” by inserting a projected section (the tenon) of one board into a carved socket (the mortise) of the second board, creates long-lasting strength.

Interlocking Mullions
We build our glass doors with an interlocking wood frame and individual panes of glass that are held in place by traditional wood mullions.
