From the Manufacturer

The elements of custom quality.

Wood selection

We pay premium prices to obtain the highest quality lumber with the most consistent color and grain. Besides, we specify the length and width of the boards, so we can select sets of parts that match perfectly. Even on our widest dressers, the one-piece drawer fronts are cut from a single board, so the grain flows smoothly across the entire unit. Our tops must be glued from separate boards, so we work carefully to match the grain and color in each finished piece. None of the smaller pieces on our furniture is glued from cut-offs — our goal is to present the wood as it is sliced from the tree. Because we do not stain any of our furniture, the color of each piece must match the other pieces perfectly — the human eye is the ultimate arbiter of this process and the parts in our furniture can be rejected at any time by any craftsman, ensuring that the completed piece is of the highest quality.

Mortise and tenon joints

Wherever structural right angles meet, a mortise and tenon joint is used. As shown in the photo, a solid wood tenon connects the two adjoining components. The tenon secures the joint and holds it tightly together, which gives the joint its superior strength and flexibility. In high-stress joints, additional glue blocks are used to ensure durability. We rely on the geometry of the mortise and tenon joint and the strength of the glue. Our furniture is glued and clamped for 24 hours using true bench-crafted assembly techniques. As a result, the joints are extremely strong and rigid, and the furniture is rock-solid. This is the time-tested process for building heirloom quality furniture, and we adhere to it.

Dovetail drawer boxes and inlays

Our drawer boxes are made of solid hardwood with traditional English dovetail joinery. This method is simple, beautiful, and time-tested. The drawer box bottoms are made of plywood that is compliant with current California codes, but solid wood bottoms are available for an additional charge. All of our drawers are completed with a smooth hard finish that will not catch threads on your clothing.

Floating panels

Solid hardwood floating panels are used in the sides of our cases and on any doors. Each panel is fitted and inserted into the frame. This construction method allows the panel to breathe within the borders of the frame and prevents the piece from warping or cracking. Floating panels are also aesthetically pleasing by providing an element of depth in areas that would otherwise be unappealing.

Fit

Every VFD case is assigned to one «fitter» who is allowed as much time as necessary to ensure that every door and drawer fits and works perfectly. The drawers are hand-fit to each location and are numbered to make sure they are placed properly in the dresser. The reveal around each door and drawer must be perfect all the way around, and they must open and close smoothly and easily — no furniture is sent to shipping until everything is just right.

Finishing

We use an oil and wax finish that is based on linseed oil. This natural product brings out the color, grain, and depth of all of the hardwoods we use. While it requires some care, the rich patina that develops with re-oiling is worth the effort. Finishing with oil requires a very detailed level of sanding. When you touch our furniture, you are touching the wood, not a chemical finish. Because the oil sinks into the wood, we must hand sand to a very fine grit to ensure a smooth surface. Oil finishing does not produce any VOCs. It is a natural and safe process that has been used for centuries.

Customer Reviews

Manufacturer

We pride ourselves on building solid hardwood furniture that delivers custom quality without the custom price. We work by hand, combining the latest technology with elements of traditional joinery in an effort to create heirloom-quality pieces that are reasonably affordable.

Producing fine furniture that will last for generations is a time-consuming process that cannot be rushed by taking shortcuts. All of our furniture is enhanced by unbroken lines of solid wood construction with a minimum of laminated or glued-together parts. Parts are produced in multiples and then handed to small teams of people who work by hand in the traditional bench-crafted fashion. Drawers and doors are precision fitted by specially trained teams as well.

Smooth delivery and comfy futon mattress
First time buying from Futonland so wasn’t sure what to expect. The delivery experience went very smoothly, I got several calls to set up and confirm delivery times. The futon mattress itself is very comfortable, no weird smells (bought the Wool Wrap Cotton And Double Foam 8 Inch Futon Mattress by Gold Bond). It’s tough to fold the mattress as a sofa though, you need two people. Overall a great online shopping experience

I was a little bit nervous ordering
I was contacted by Futonland the next day to confirm the purchase. Shipping was quick, there was a one week delay by the shipping company but I was kept informed of the delay. Delivery was very good.

Excellent quality of the furniture
Pay extra for the assembly of the futon even though I found it to be expensive and still question the cost. The delivery was on time and the technicians did assemble the futon and dispose of the packaging. They did well to check final step of assembly for any missed steps or imperfections with the furniture.

Very happy with murphy bed and excellent delivery service
Our murphy bed arrived earlier than expected, in great shape and was not difficult to put together. The people who delivered it went above and beyond to help us and were very kind. We really appreciated their great service. The mattress seems comfortable and there is plenty of extra room for storing sheets and a comforter. Would definitely buy from Futonland again!

Very well done beginning to end
First I actually got to speak To a human. He knew the products and was able and willing to discuss my needs and wants and make recommendations. He also checked inventory to be sure the item was available rather than getting all the payment info hen sending an email saying - oops, it's backordered.

The futon we purchased is beautiful! It was easy to assemble because the video instruction was well done. I’m so glad that we purchased a better mattress for this futon. It’s comfortable for sleeping and sitting. The whole experience was great from beginning to end. Thank you!

Futonland to the rescue
My husband and I are so pleased by the integrity of Futonland. We had problems with the delivery company, and the people at Futonland, Patrick, Irena and Eddie, advocated for us.
