We are back in full production

I am happy to report that Shaker View Furniture is back in full production. Many of our former customers have returned and we have welcomed several new ones as well. Chuck and Ralph love the new shop. It is brighter and bigger than the old one with a great new dust collection system. The chairs are as simple, elegant, comfortable and colorful as before. If we haven't heard from you; we hope we will soon!

Difficult times update October 2005

I can't believe that over a year has gone by since the fire. We have heard from customers all year long and you have been amazingly patient. Here is what I have to report: The shop is built and almost all insulated. All parts are on order. Almost all the equipment has been purchased. That means we should be able to start soon. We have spent much time getting the excavation done on the outside of the house and shop. It was a much bigger job than we had anticipated and has slowed us down considerably but had to be done before winter. At $1000/day, we couldn't pay an excavator for long--hence the delay!

Thank you thank you to all who have waited and called. We cannot tell you how much it has meant to us to know that customers still want the chairs! We'll be in touch soon!

Difficult times update December 2004

Tomorrow they break ground on the new shop! It is has been almost four months since the fire. Though we are comfortably settled in a rental, we miss home and our routines. Thank you for checking in with us to learn of progress. We have ordered our first two pieces of equipment. There is still much to make the house livable before we begin making chairs again, but we are optomistic it will happen in the next several months. We'll be sure to keep you informed. Just email us to let us know you'd like to be updated.

Difficult times

August 3, 2004, Shaker View Furniture experienced a lightning strike and fire that destroyed our barn and shop and severely damaged our home. But rebuilding has begun. Please contact us to find a retailer near you who still has stock or if you wish to be added to our mailing list to be notified when we are ready to ship. Willing to wait? email, call or fax us with your order.

We especially want to thank Marlborough Country Barn, New England Home Furnishings (517-265-8254) and Chilton's for your exceptional support. Thank you!
