Salvaged from a local barn here in West Michigan this solid oak top provides a durable surface for whatever you can throw at it. The boards started as 4x8 barn floor joists and were milled in half to make 2x8's from which the tops were fabricated. A welded 1-1/2" square tube steel frame on 5" iron casters provides a sturdy yet mobile base. A powder coat finish provides years of protection. (This could be done in any color) The tables pictured are 48" wide x 60" long x 42" high

re.dwell, short for "reclaimed dwelling", is the combination of my architectural studies, passion for design, love of working with our hands, and desire to repurpose old materials. Each piece is unique, allowing the quality and character of the materials to help determine how it gets used. Our materials are sourced mainly from the West Michigan area. They come from old barns, homes, , factories, and other buildings that are slated to be demolished or are being renovated. We pull out as much material we can before it is destroyed, documenting each building when possible to provide a record and a story. The result is a unique new furniture piece full character and history.
My family and I currently call the vibrant city of Grand Rapids, Michigan home. I received Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Architecture from Ball State University, in Muncie, Indiana where I focused on sustainable design and alternative building methods.
I spent my summers helping a friend, a skilled carpenter and craftsman, with his small deconstruction business. We dismantled old blighted structures saving the materials from the landfill for resale and repurposing. Though I had been interested in furniture making for some time, it was here learning the trade from my friend I really found a passion for it. Designing and building furniture was a perfect outlet for my creativity, desire to work with my hands, and repurposing the materials we saved.

For Laser Cut Metal SignGreat job on my last minute project of getting three signs out in a week. Can’t thank you enough for the quality and quick turnaround. The signs where the finishing touch to our booth. Thanks again.
William Millar
For Maple Mid-Century Modern Coffee TableDaniel was accommodating with our design wishes, maintained communication during the project and shipped in bomb proof packaging. Took a bit longer than initially planned but what doesn't in this environment and Daniel kept me apprised of any delays. Couldn't be happier with end product. Exactly what I was hoping for and something I could not have found at a retailer. Highly recommend. I would definitely use again.
Heather Epstein
For Reclaimed Hardwood Coffee Table In Steel Box FrameI can’t say enough great things about Daniel and his work.
Robert Karamon
For Robert's Dining TableWe're extremely pleased with our table. Working with Dan has been great. Even though there were some delays, Dan provided transparency and kept us informed on the progress. We would recommend re.dwell to anyone.
Brian Green
For Custom Modern Round Walnut Dining TableI had pretty high expectations for this project, and they were easily exceeded. The table is beautiful and solid. I would definitely hire Dan and all the re.dwell guys again in the future. Thanks.
Annika Gentles
For Dining tableDaniel did a wonderful job on my table. He even held it for us for a few months after our house build got delayed.
Grant Tobey
For Modern Round Walnut Dining TableWe had Dan make us a 60” round table with a black epoxy river. It turned out better than expected! We love this table and the way it looks.
Tish Rausch
For Laser Cut Metal SignDaniel was an extreme pleasure to work with. I was in a crunch for time, with a custom order, and he jumped through hoops to make it happen. My custom sign was delivered before schedule and it’s gorgeous! I would highly recommend working with Daniel and hopefully I will have the opportunity to do so again.
Leanne Edmondson

Glenn Dugas
For Reclaimed Wood Beam Coffee TableDaniel has been very professional addressing an unusual request. He went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. My only issue with this project is with CustomMade. There should be a more efficient venue to communicate directly between client and vendor.
Sandra Bosserman
For Laser Cut Metal SignsThank you ! I just got my custom sign today and it will look great above the bar in my new brewery !!

For Reclaimed Wood/Steel Reception DeskDaniel Chase and his team were amazing to work with! Easy to communicate with, patient and extremely talented! The piece is fantastic! Love it and love them!!
Alyson Veit
For Reclaimed Wood Slat Reception DeskBeautiful reception desk, exactly what I wanted. Timely completion and personal delivery and installation. They spent time making sure it worked in the space provided. Really, really pleased with this experience! Thanks Dan and team!
Alicia Mack
For Reclaimed Wood/Steel Reception DeskWe were looking at very ugly, very sterile looking reception desks in catalogs and had a dream that we could find one made out of reclaimed wood. I found some examples of Daniel's work on custom made as well as on his website and thought we'd give it a try. I am so glad we did! The finished product is BEAUTIFUL. He was super professional all along the way - sent mock-ups of what the desk would look like, worked with us to tweak the design, deliver the desk on our timeline, found solutions to help expedite the project while maintaining the look we were going for, basically ALL of the things you would want in a custom-built piece of furniture. The only thing I could critique is that we did not see the finished product until the day before it was delivered. That said, we were asking him to RUSH, so not sure we could've done anything differently. Fortunately, it turned out great and is exactly what we wanted. It was precision made, pre-drilled, laser leveled and 110% of what we expected. Does not disappoint and is the focal piece of our real estate office lobby! Would not hesitate to work with him again... in fact, we're dreaming up other projects :)

For Re.Dwell Industrial StoolDaniel Chase did a wonderful job with a set of custom built counter stools. We wanted something very specific - Douglas fir with a black iron base - and he was very responsive in explaining what he would be able to do, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. We are thrilled with the final product and can't wait to use them. I wish other furniture makers and builders were as easy to deal with as Daniel.
Kylie O'Connor
For Reclaimed Wood/Steel Reception DeskI was very excited to work with Dan on designing a custom desk for my company's office space based on the work and reviews I saw online. I wish I could give them 5 stars, but there were a few things that hold me back and at one point I would have given a 2 or 3: 1- When I first reached out I asked for the desk to be stained to match our decor. When Dan sent the final pictures there was a matte coat of varnish, but no stain. It was too late to fix that so it technically was not what I wanted. 2- Installation was not at all easy. We are in Boston, so the desk was shipped to us. I was assured that the instructions would make it simple. A contractor and 3 other sets of hands struggled their way through constructing and were not able to get pieces aligned just right. 3- The desk was late. The contact that I signed had the desk being delivered of the 7th, I didn't get it until the 16th. There was no communication from the team that there was going to be a delay until I reached out asking for a tracking number when it hadn't arrived. I will add: I gave 4 stars because although all of this, Dan was responsive when I reached out and did refund us partially for the lack of stain. If I were to work with the team again I would ask them to come do the install and insist on better communication along the way. Albeit, that comes at a price.

Thelma Dasho
For Custom Walnut Table TopOther than the fact my delivery was rescheduled twice and I was unsure of when or how to make the final payment everything was excellent!
Kim Eyring
For Reclaimed Pallet Wood Coffee TableDaniel was great to work with throughout the project. He communicated everything perfectly and quickly from design to shipping. The tables arrived yesterday and were just what we wanted. Daniel promised tables built for a lifetime and they are just that as well as being beautiful. He did an outstanding job crating them for shipping since they had to be shipped ocean freight since we are in Hawaii. My husband said he must be an engineer, he did such a great job. Daniel completed the job early. Working with Daniel was a great experience .
Elizabeth West
For Elizabeth's Dining TableWe are so happy with our dining table, the craftsmanship is impeccable! Daniel & his team are amazing! Very easy to work with, quick response time, and very good attention to detail. I would definitely work with him again and recommend him to family & friends!
Kate Hick
For Contemporary Reclaimed Wood And Steel Trestle Conference Table.Daniel was so easy to work with and kept me in the loop through the entire process. I wanted something unique and man, did he deliver. The final product is awesome and I would recommend this process again and again.
Jim Lewis
For Contemporary Reclaimed Wood And Steel Trestle Conference Table.Overall, Dan was excellent to work with. He communicated very promptly whenever I had questions. He worked with me to come up with the design as well. The table we ended up with is very nice. There were some poorly set expectations along the way and he didn't do some things that I would have assumed should have been done. I would do business with Dan again but now I know better how to ask the questions that I would need to ask in order to get the final product I want. Dan is a really good guy but it is just inherent in building something so custom that there is likely going to be miscommunication along the way.
Linda Cobos
For Reclaimed Wood And Steel Industrial High Top Conference TableWow! We are in LOVE with our new conference table! It was a fabulous experience working with Dan! He was very patient with the trouble-shooting process of designing a conference table that best suit our needs with many updates and revisions. Daniel was very communicative and pleasant throughout. He always answered any questions or concerns we had until we were ready to go with the project! The table is beautiful and we can now fit the whole team comfortably for our weekly production meetings and accommodate visitors. We highly recommend Dan and his company for communications, outstanding quality and superb craftsmanship! Hope to work with you again for our next collaboration!
Laura O'Connor
For Reclaimed Wood And Steel Industrial Conference TableDaniel's work was incredible - the reception desk and conference table that we purchased are beautiful! Daniel maintained constant communication with us, and was ideal to work with in getting this job crafted - the handmade tables FAR surpassed any pre-made furniture we could find on the market. We highly recommend using Daniel!!
