to modify home entertainment and office furniture to your specifications.

In the early 1980's a few dedicated woodworkers started a small custom furniture shop in Wisconsin. With talented carpentry skills, they built beautiful cabinets for the special needs and creativity of their customers.

The company has grown considerably and yet our focus remains the same: to build custom, quality case goods using a combination of old-fashioned craftsmanship, computerized operations, and high-quality materials. Sophisticated computerized equipment helps us to be efficient. Time-honored furniture techniques are combined with our ability to efficiently build one piece at a time. We build heirloom quality and give the customer exactly what they want for today's needs.

Custom Shoppe furniture is hand-crafted by nice people who have fun and love what they do best: build quality custom furniture one piece at a time. There are no assembly lines at The Custom Shoppe - only an occassional lunch line in the cafe where we can chip in for a hot meal and the proceeds are donated to the American Cancer Society - this is America's Heartland!

Throughout the furniture making process, each person in our company adheres to one quality principle. We ask ourselves, "Would I be proud to have this in my home?" We hope that you enjoy designing your own Custom Shoppe furniture. We certainly will enjoy making it. Do your furniture ideas seem like an unattainable fantasy? If our products, size ranges, finishes, and optional features still do not satisfy your dreams, show us your design. We will provide a quote through our Mastercraftsman Studio. Our Craftsmen will transform what YOU imagine into real wood.

What Can We Do For You?

Tips:

One size does not fit all. your furniture will be built to your measurements.

Measure Your Room

Before choosing furniture, consider the windows, closets, heating vents and electrical outlets in the room. Does a door open into the space? Next, measure the perimeter of the room and draw a simple floor plan to plot your furniture placement.

Note the size and placement of your room's standard furnishings. Don't forget the details. A bench or extra storage chest can make a size difference in any room.

Measure Your Components

Measure your television and other components that you would like to place in your furniture.  If you have special collectibles - a fine piece of Lladro or a special vase - note the measurements.  We will build your furniture to fit.

Always buy your television before your custom made furniture.  Do not rely on manufacturer TV specs and not estimate. 

Use one of these checklists when measuring for your furniture.

Measure for Delivery

It is important that your furniture be delivered through all entryways, elevators and up all stairways.

Follow these simple guidelines to help ensure an efficient delivery:

Measure the height and width of your entryways, including staircases, hallways, elevator doors and interiors. Make note of any fixtures, decorative moldings, interior walls, ceiling heights, stairwells and banisters that may pose an obstacle once inside.

Consider the furniture to be delivered and determine if it can go straight through entryways or if it will have to go in at an angle or on end.  Note that your Custom Shoppe furniture can be built in two pieces (Horizontal Split) for easier delivery.
