Elias Furniture is a wood-design-studio in rural Northwestern New Jersey established by Matthew Elias. We focus on creating generational designs that are made to last with a timeless, modern style.

Matthew is a self taught woodworker who started Elias Furniture initially providing interior designers, contractors, and the general public with high quality custom furniture. In addition, our small batch collection that we offer continues to grow. We primarily use locally sourced hardwoods and tend to use traditional joinery methods that are both simple and strong.

As a small business in the greater NYC region we source our materials from local retailers and often use sustainable locally harvested woods. We offer regional delivery and ship nationally.

    After spending a lot of time looking for the perfect coffee table, I decided I wasn't finding what I wanted and that I needed to consider a custom piece. I saw pictures of some of Matthew's pieces and the style was exactly what I was looking for. Working with Matthew was so easy and efficient. The communication was great and I never wondered or had to proactively contact him to find out the status. He personally delivered and assembled my table yesterday and I couldn't be happier! I would definitely work with Matthew again!

    Matt was incredibly easy to work with - very responsive and kept us in the loop through the whole process. He even delivered the table himself which allowed us to meet him. We couldn't be happier with the final product - it was exactly what we had hoped for!

    Matt from Elias Woodworking has been a pleasure to work with for my custom coffee table project! He exhibited exceptional professionalism from the first point of contact and throughout the project. Without prompting him, Matt provided regular updates of his progress to ensure the table was coming out the way I wanted. He also delivered the finished product nearly 5 days before scheduled delivery date. Besides his responsiveness and professionalism, Matt's work is beautiful and high quality. The table came out exactly how I had envisioned it, if not better. This was a challenging table because I had a custom table top already and Matt had to work with the existing dimensions and weight. He created a product that is an beautiful replica of the inspiration table, made with high quality material, and assembled with perfection. I am very pleased with the end product and working with Matt. Highly recommend to others!

    Great to work with, super easy all around and forgiving of our many questions. My only wish is that the shelves came ready for installation with holes drilled in and brackets included. Overall though, we're loving the shelves!

    Working with Matthew Elias was perfect from beginning to end. He sent photos of different slabs of wood to get my input. Photos and descriptions were sent all along the way in detailed emails. Matt always responded promptly to my emails. He delivered and set up the table according to schedule. The table and matching bench are absolutely beautiful, I'm thrilled. I highly recommend Matthew Elias, he is an artist and great communicator. Marika Hahn

    We ordered a 7 ft reclaimed wood dining room table. Matt found great reclaimed elm wood and used steel u-shaped legs. The table is wonderful! Matt was very communicative throughout the process. This was a big expense for us and we are completely satisfied!

    This was one wonderful experience, from beginning to end. Matthew's work is stunning. After we met with him, we knew we had chosen the perfect craftsman to make our table. He constructed it to our exact measurements and specifications. He communicated with us on every detail, especially the choice of material. We will enjoy this table for many years to come and our children will for many more.

    This was the best experience I have ever had buying furniture. My table is GORGEOUS and really amazing. Matthew was truly a gentleman and a professional. Every step was smooth. A lot of communication, pictures and listening to the customer and making sure I was always satisfied. It was a tremendous value and I hope everyone will check the pictures to see how beautiful my table came out. I would happily use Matthew's services again and really recommend contacting him about any project you may be considering. He will make it happen without any problems and he will always keep budget in mind. For the craftsmanship and quality this was a great deal and a pleasure. Thank you Matt. Lisa

    Working with Matt was far beyond all my expectations. From the initial communication, to the project creation, and even the delivery Matt made the entire process flawless. Matt stopped at nothing to make sure the table was exactly what I had envisioned. I'll never buy a piece of furniture from a retail store again.
