We specialize in making bunk beds but also design/build by request.


We have designed our beds to be the best and strongest on the market. Our beds are only constructed with quality lumber. This means you won’t find particle board or any other inferior materials in our beds.

Compared to other bunk beds you’ll find that:

* We use kiln dried lumber. Kiln dried lumber has over 2 times the strength and is 2 times stronger than wood that is still “green”.
* Our beds are assembled with over 100 heavy duty fasteners. This provides you with over twice the holding power that you will find in other mass produced beds.
* We create and assemble our beds one at a time. At each stage of the production process there is a pair of hands constructing the bed and a pair of eyes overseeing construction.

Our bunk beds are made for adults and children. We do this so you can use the beds at your lake house, hunting lodge or other living quarters.

Attention firehouses, non-profits and other overnight meeting facilities! We also create beds for camps, needing to maximize their sleeping quarters in a confined space. Contact us to find out more.

If you can’t find the bed you want. Then let us know! We are a full service woodwork shop and can accommodate most requests!

    Richard was terrific to work with! He was able to provide the low VOC beds that we were looking for. We can't wait to sleep in them.

  • Desk

    by Lynn L. Aug 17th 2012

    Excellent!!! Richard was great to work with. He did exactly as I asked and was so great on double checking with me. For instance he felt the color I had selected looked too light so he sent me a pic side by side with another color. I really appreciated that because I went with his recommendation And best of all the price was 100 less than quoted. Awesome! • Personal note: Thank you so much for building a GREAT desk. It is really awesome. I appreciate your great communication on the project. Of all the bids I got (within and without of Custom Made) you were the only one who really did exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate that. I also appreciate your double checking on things like the stain and the height of the desk. FYI - I know the desk looks short but that lower height puts less stress on the shoulders when working at the computer. Anyway, I love the desk. Thanks so much!
