About the Designer
I've been designing and building furniture and cabinets since I was a toddler. My business has become so successful over the last few years that I couldn't keep up with the demand, so I now design full time and have all my pieces hand crafted by local Amish craftsman under my supervision.
When you work with me, you get access to a full time designer as well as small, Amish furniture shops that each specialize in desks, beds, tables, chairs, upholstery. . . Instead of someone who knows a little about everything, you get a specialist at each step.
Every piece is designed personally by me, and working with you, we'll design the perfect piece based on your vision and my experience. There are no limits!
Where
For the last 12 years I've lived in a 600 sq. ft. microhouse that I designed and hand-built here in central Ohio. This proves you can live large within a tiny footprint along with a wife and 2 cats! We laugh a lot!!

The bed is mostly cut out and waiting for upholstery and finishing.
The bed is now ready for finishing! The upholstery will be carefully stored and then put back on after finishing for the final third part of the Stacie Bed Movie Trilogy
Here is the test engraving for Elizabeth's memorial. I have sped up the middle because it's a little boring to watch for 3 minutes! Sorry it seems blurry but there is a very scratched shield over the machine
This is a really hip, mod desk for a great Mod client. It's based on an Italian design but with very different custom dimensions and better drawers. Although it's way Cool, it functions flawlessly for everyday and all day computer comfort. Black Glass top with wire grommet, hidden wire chases into credenza, flip door for things like phone charger cords, Black glass top insert on credenza, 2 Black Glass push-to-open drawers, and one Black Oak door on outside of credenza to hide your unmentionables like routers & stuff!

Here is the dry fit & edge banding. We make sure all the parts are correct and start to get prepared for assembly.
My wife and 2 cats have lived here for the last 8 years. Learning to live in 600 Sq Ft is a challenge but you get used to it and learn what is necessary in life!
This gorgeous L-shaped vanity, custom designed to fit an alcove in the client's nest, made in Straight & Curly Cherry, with a Tiger Maple Mirror Frame & drawer fronts, accented with Zebrano Wood sides would fit any decor.

The subtle curves add a feminine feel to the perfectly functioning vanity complete with small drawers for makeup & jewelry, lower drawers for hair dryer, curling irons and other girly stuff, & that awesome mirror for final touch-ups & all 'round primping! Can be completely customized to your wishes for a one of a kind piece built just for you.

I decided to working with Ron because from the start he showed he truly cared about making this the best possible experience for me. He was not interested in rushing thru the project but looked forward to it with excitement. He had no hesitation when it came to spending as much time as needed coming up with creative ways to make everything fit together perfect. He spent several hours showing me different 3D designs and material options before he was even official hired for the job. It is very clear that Ron loves what he does and that shows in his attention to even the smallest detail and his communication with the customer. Once we decided to move forward I was not left out of one step. He stayed in constant communication with me. At each stage of the build I was sent detailed video footage and photos so I was able to watch the desk being made from start to finish. When my desk arrived I completely fell in love with it. I spend a lot of time working in my home office and this desk fits me perfect and Ron would not of had it any other way. Over all I could not have asked for a better experience with a designer. Ron is professional, funny and great to work with. We are already planning our next project together and I'm looking forward to many more after that. Although I was not sure what to expect Ron Corl Design has by far exceeded all expectations and is a true representation of customer service and quality business.

Can't say enough about Ron Corl, his art, his craft, and his impeccable skills.

Based on a variety of personal preferences, Ron created a breath taking custom-made dressing table and wrap-around we call Falling Leaf Vanity. It was specifically made to fit ...in a very cozy corner of my master dressing room. Throughout every step of the design process, Ron was available 24-7, even surprising me by responding to emails sent very late at night. The man is indefatigable! From my general ideas, thoughts and preferences, he incorporated his own modern style to create a gorgeous, yet highly functional work of art. Despite my diverse style preferences, he managed to blend art nouveau with shaker (Ron coins it "Shaker Nouveau"). The end result was a curvy, feminine, yet simple, elegant, and functional dressing table that incorporated aspects of nature with a twist of glam. The final piece was custom designed to the millimeter to fit a very tricky corner space in my dressing room and yet had to contain all my necessary "beauty tools" and jewelry. It had to fit absolutely perfectly, and Ron managed to accomplish this via emails and pictures sent from way out of state. His emails were so clear, detailed and understandable we never even spoke until after delivery, although he always offered to call if needed! He actually looked at measurements of my hair dryer to make sure his drawers would be built to contain it properly. A variety of natural and rare woods from curly cherry to African bloodwood, zebra wood and leopard wood and others were used to create an autumnal falling leaf motif that reminded me of my "Autumn in Vermont" wedding theme, complete with circular beveled mirror (that resembles a rising sun to me) and custom drawers on the main table and wrap-around. The delicate leaf inlays were nothing short of perfect. The rich stains and decadent finishes of the wood varietals dance and interact perfectly to create an environment that almost comes alive, rather than functioning simply as a piece of furniture. I can't stop running my hands across the perfectly finished wood which to me feels like velvet. Ron painstaking incorporates his clients' thoughts and then adds his own flare to make his pieces come alive. I have never worked with a better designer - EVER!!! Not only is he a super-nice human being, Ron is uber-responsive, meticulous, dedicated, patient with changes, honest and amazingly talented. He simply pours his soul into every piece like his life depended on it. His positive energy is reflected in the piece itself. Ron's multiple 3-D computer renditions made envisioning the final product a snap. Even before shipment he made sure I was 100% satisfied with his design by sending u-tube videos throughout production. Then when the vanity arrived in perfect condition from Ohio to Philadelphia through a highly recommended shipper, I was dumbfounded at how even more incredible and stunning it looked in person. Early on Ron had sent abundant wood samples, stain options, colors, drawings, 3-D renditions and u-tube videos of different design aspects throughout every step of the process, even on national holidays. He patiently did this until I was satisfied I was making the right choices. Not once did he complain when I couldn't decide among the beautiful options he made available. Nothing was sacrificed and the quality and design could not be better. I could not have asked for a more perfect and enjoyable custom made design experience. I would highly recommend Ron Corl at Ron Corl Designs over and over again as a designer to anyone looking for an artistically unique furniture piece whose unparalleled beauty and quality comes alive in your home. I started out just needing a make-up table, but realize now that this table will, in fact, be a valuable family heirloom for generations. Hence, this investment was worth every penny. I thank Ron Corl so much for his tireless effort in this process! My Falling Leaf Vanity fills me with joy each time I sit down in front of it.

He really puts his heart in each project and really cares for his clients. I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience this was!

Mr. Corl was wonderful, keeping me informed about the process of crafting my chair; it was worth the wait! I highly recommend Ron Corl Design for quality craftsmanship, design, and customer service.

Ron reached out to us shortly after the request ...was posted. He explained his experience, and was very prompt at responding to questions, concerns and design ideas. I was able to send him a rough hand sketch, which he quickly turned into a Sketchup rendering that really gave my wife and I a good idea of what we had envisioned for this memorial. I can not say enough about the professional and caring attitude Ron showed through out the process. Ron went above our expectations when he asked specific questions about Elizabeth and her tumor. He put a lot of caring into ensuring every detail was captured the way we wanted. The final Memorial Urn we received from him was way beyond our greatest expectations! We now have a beautifully custom made Memorial Urn that is perfect for our Elizabeth. THANK YOU AGAIN TO RON AND HIS TEAM!!!
