This cabinet is the first of the line and the example shown is one that was donated to the Make-a-Wish foundation. The design is an original to ColeTrain Productions and is an inspiration for the line that is to follow. Many pieces at ColeTrain have the same look and feel and each piece comes with an original story that inspired us to create it. This piece is a rustic, eclectic feel; pine construction with a tinted stain finish effect. Rubbed with an amber glaze to present an antiqued look and sealed all in with a semi-gloss poly. Every piece is handcrafted from scratch and every design is original. No two pieces are similar because every day in the shop holds something different. We at ColeTrain are not your average, run of the mill craftsmen, our quality construction in addition to an eye for original design sets us apart.

Do you remember that coffee table your grandparents used to have? How about that perfect chair you once sat in while out of town. Or maybe that one piece of furniture you just can't find anywhere… at least not like the vision in your head.
Furniture isn't, shouldn't be, just something you sit on, look at, or fill your spaces with. It should be something you love for not only it's looks and durability, but for the memories it recalls and stories it holds.
Cole-Train Productions is a one-man operation working out of a small shop in the heart of Iowa City, Iowa. I am a 5th generation carpenter who builds furniture the way it should be built; with quality materials, an eye for unique design, and a durability you won't find in the big-box furniture store down the street.
