My grandfather, Roman Yoder, started our company in Northeast Ohio with a vision to provide high-quality bed hardware to Amish furniture builders in our community. Through his designs and dedication, he built a foundation of trust and quality that we’re proud to carry forward today.

When I took over in 2017, I was inspired by my grandfather's dedication but also saw an opportunity to grow. While we continue to serve Amish furniture builders with the same personalized care, we’ve expanded our offerings to include table legs, sewing machine lifts, router templates, and poly lumber. We’ve loved watching our products find their way into the hands of DIY enthusiasts and furniture makers nationwide through our online store....
