Reclaimed Oak Farm Table

Hi! We are Athena and Gabe, the co-owners of STMS Furniture. We started out Online in June 2010 as just a hobby. We were both working full time jobs with 3 children. Gabe won a bid through another handmade site for a small stripped table made using pallet and barn wood. He decided to take the table outside in the beautiful green grass and with the natural light and vibrant colors the photo made it to the Front Page on the internet and has been featured in other articles. That day we sold 4 tables. Gabe had to quit his day job 2 weeks later! I followed a few months behind him when the finish work and paperwork were too much to handle with a day job.

We take great pride in every piece of furniture that we make. From a simple mirror to a 6 foot dining room table. Each item gets our full attention and only the best products are used. We both come from families that have hardworking, artistic and creative people that have shown us through the years how to create a great product and a great business.

We firmly believe that handcrafted, well made furniture does not need to cost a fortune. We worked out of our home for over three years, just the two of us designing, building and finishing everything, so we were able to keep our costs and prices low.

We recently purchased a real facility to make our furniture. We went from about 600 sq/ft to over 13,000. It is still a small operation for us. We still sell, build, finish and ship all of our items ourselves. We are working hard to make SweetTea & MoonShine a success!
