Over a quarter of a century
of tradition

Vermont Furniture Designs is a small Vermont company creating traditional furniture of strength, simplicity and quality. Since 1970, Vermont Furniture Designs has been committed to producing a variety of classic, high quality, solid hardwood furniture which are visually striking, and which clearly displays the quality of our craftsmanship.

Our furniture is available in solid cherry, walnut, and maple, as well as blended combinations of those three species. Our hand rubbed oil finish does not allow staining or tinting, so the natural color of the wood is displayed. We take great pride in our color and grain matching - without a stain, the selection of the individual pieces of wood is of paramount importance.

The quality of custom
built construction

We pride ourselves on making solid contemporary furniture of custom quality, without the custom price. We build our furniture by hand using the latest technology, such as nylon bearing epoxy coated drawer slides and chuck and bore drawer construction, which we combine with elements of traditional craftsmanship and quality, like mortise and tenon joinery. All of our furniture is enhanced by unbroken lines of solid wood construction; very few laminated parts are used. Parts are produced in multiples, then hand assembled by teams of Vermont craftsmen. Our solid-front drawers are assembled and perfectly fitted by specially trained teams as well.

Solid wood frame and panel side construction sets Vermont Furniture Designs products apart from standard slab-sided furniture. Our furniture has no visible plugged screw holes, and pieces are glued and clamped over night to ensure a solid bond. Extra glue blocks at stress joints practically guarantee that furniture will last a lifetime. All of our products are sanded smooth and hand rubbed with oil, which develops a patina and depth of color unavailable with a lacquer finish. All pieces have invisible levelers so doors will open evenly no matter what type of floor the furniture is placed on.

Our newest project
Furniture for the chemically sensitive homeowner

VFD has developed a method of constructing chemical free furniture for people with odor and chemical sensitivities. Please check our "Natural Living" page for a description. Every item in our line can be ordered with this option for a reasonable surcharge.

A legacy of satisfied customers

Since its inception, Vermont Furniture Designs has had nearly 100% customer and dealer satisfaction. Your customers will be truly pleased with furniture that requires no repairs or multiple service calls. Your business will be pleased with our dedication to keeping those who sell our products satisfied.

Discover the beauty, craftsmanship and quality of Vermont Furniture Designs, for customers who appreciate the difference of solid, hand crafted, heirloom quality furniture.

VFD has a Factory Store at the production shop just outside of Burlington, Vermont. We sell seconds, overruns, prototypes and custom pieces. We sell our stock lines to local customers and walk-ins. Generally, we will not sell any of the above via phone or e-mail unless it is a line that is no longer carried by a dealer in your area.

We are willing to customize the furniture that we build. Furniture of a design that is inherently different than our normal work will not be considered.

We do not offer a printed catalogue, nor do we publish a price list. We prefer that you visit a local dealer for more information. If you are not aware of a dealer in your area, please call or e-mail us for help in finding one.

While we cannot control the pricing of our customers, all of our dealers charge approximately the same prices, allowing for differing freight costs. We do not see any advantage to "price-shopping" among our dealers and we hope that you will patronize the store nearest you, or the one at which you first saw our furniture. Some dealers stock our furniture for quicker delivery, or provide other services that may be reflected in their price. It is sensible to purchase from someone near you if possible, as they will be responsible for delivering the furniture to you unharmed. Shipping from a distant store to your home may save a little money, but you are then responsible for dealing with the carrier regarding delivery appointments and damage problems.
