This chair was designed to replace an antique that was valuable, but uncomfortable. Drawing on inspiration from the Portsmouth, NH furnituremakers of the 18th century, this chair is not only comfortable, but a focal point in a room dominated by museum-quality antiques. The double tapered Marlborough style reeded legs and arms combine with the deeply curved crest rail to make the chair both visually interesting and inviting to sit in. We feel proud to be included in some wonderful private collections throughout the East Coast. Made from Mahogany with ash as a secondary wood, with a hand rubbed shellac finish.

For round extendable dining room table with pedestal legRichard Oedel of Fort Point Cabinetmakers was so helpful, professional, and creative throughout our design process of making a dining room table. Very professional drawings were presented; friendly and timely communication over the phone, email, and in person to take measurements and see our space; through attention to details and consideration to our project restrictions, preferences, and style. Very appreciative of our positive experience -- and would highly recommend as Richard has a sincere interest in completing a project to the exact customer's preference and specifications.

For Custom Oak Benches (2)From the start, Richard Oedel of Fort Point Cabinetmakers was more than helpful and insightful. Because he was making matching benches for my dining table and my table was so large, he drove 60 miles each way to see it in person, take measurements and pictures to discern the right look. Drawings were presented, a budget was agreed upon and not only was the project delivered on time, but it matched perfectly and the quality was unsurpassed. I could not say enough good things about Fort Point Cabinetmakers as to their skill, quality of work, professionalism and sincere interest in completing a project to the exact customer specifications.
