EACH PIECE IS MASTERFULLY DESIGNED FOR STYLE AND FUNCTION, THEN CRAFTED WITH PRECISION AND CARE BY OUR SKILLED CRAFTSPEOPLE. CONTINUOUS INSPECTIONS THROUGHOUT ALL PROCESSES ENSURE QUALITY – FROM SOURCING QUALITY LOCAL LUMBER TO OUR STRINGENTLY TESTED DURABLE FINISHES. EVERY STEP OF OUR PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO CREATE HEIRLOOM QUALITY SOLID WOOD FURNITURE THAT WILL DELIGHT OUR CUSTOMERS AND LAST FOR GENERATIONS.
100% MADE IN THE USA.
WE CRAFT ALL OF OUR FURNITURE RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN FACTORY IN THE BACKYARD OF DENTON, TEXAS. CREATING COMPLETELY AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS IS IMPORTANT TO US – IT MEANS LOCAL JOBS, SUPPORTING OUR ECONOMY, AND HONESTLY, IT’S WHAT WE’VE ALWAYS DONE. WE’RE PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE LIVE, RAISE OUR FAMILIES AND WORK RIGHT HERE.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY BELONGS TO ALL OF US.
OUR FOCUS IS ON BUILDING HARDWOOD FURNITURE THAT WILL LAST A LONG TIME, KNOWING THAT WHEN WE MAKE AND BUY PRODUCTS THAT LAST, WE REDUCE WASTE. WE TAKE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP SERIOUSLY – FROM THE FSC-CERTIFIED LUMBER AND WATER-BASED FINISHES WE USE, TO THE SAWDUST WE SEND TO LOCAL FARMS FOR ANIMAL BEDDING… TO THE FRESH PRODUCE GROWN FOR OUR EMPLOYEES ON THE SMALL ORGANIC FARM BEHIND OUR MILL. WE’RE CONTINUOUSLY WORKING TO MAKE A MORE POSITIVE IMPACT.

Deanna Martin
Mrs. Martin is not only the beauty and brains behind the A&H guys, she’s also a key component to our operations management and project coordination.
