The dining table will be constructed from solid maple hardwood, providing a cohesive look throughout the room. The table will boast an angled design, with one long side extending to 144 inches and the opposite side measuring 100 inches wide. This unique shape not only adds visual interest but also optimizes space for dining and entertaining. The table will be 36 inches deep and 30 inches high, making it an ideal height for comfortable dining experiences.
The base of the table will be supported by two sturdy pedestals, which will also be painted white to match the window seat and maintain a unified aesthetic throughout the space. In contrast, the tabletop will be finished in a color that harmonizes with the rest of the kitchen, aiming for a balance that enhances the overall design scheme. Furthermore, the table's apron will feature trim that mirrors the existing elements in the kitchen, tying the entire look together beautifully.

Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture
Ruben Figueroa, who is the owner/manager of Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture, talks about how he was inspired to start his business and describes the inspiration that he uses to manage the team that works for him to produce every piece of fine furniture “I can remember, like it was yesterday, the woodshop at Saint Mary's Recreational Center across from where I lived growing up in Bronx, New York. One day, I found myself exploring the Center, and the smell of fresh-cut wood from the shop was all it took to get me into a simple woodworking project, and I have been hooked ever since! Taking woodshop classes, reading trade publications, and following this passion wherever it leads has been an amazing and challenging journey. As a result, I have learned through experience how to produce a quality piece of furniture. In my opinion, a real craftsperson puts their heart and soul into each creation, and this is truly evident in the sweat, blood, and effort that goes into every detail. When I begin a piece, the "fascination with wood" starts all over again. How does the final piece come into being? How do the raw materials form into a thing of beauty? How does each creation become appealing and unique in its own right? I have come to an understanding that one of the magic ingredients is a part of the craftsperson and his team that stays within the final product. My intention is always to meet the needs of the clients. That is, to make a piece that is functional, beautiful, and well-built. I am filled with joy when the client is thrilled with the final product. After working with wood for over 30 years, I can honestly say that I enjoy it more today than when I walked into that shop as a ten-year-old boy. I hope you will recognize the love and care that my team puts into every piece as you view our website. Ruben Figueroa personally supervises every project produced by Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture team to maintain his unique quality and attention to detail. When you choose Ruben Figueroa and Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture, you are selecting the absolute best custom work.

For storage bench/dog crateI had very detailed instructions; Ruben followed them perfectly and made sure to communicate with me about any question. He delivered the project himself to my house on time and in great condition. I very highly recommend him to anyone looking for custom-made furniture.
