About the Company
Serving clients in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and beyond since 1980– establishing a reputation of distinction in our field.
All of our work is done on the premises in a 9,000 square foot facility with a shop, offices and showroom located in the heart of historic Moorestown, New Jersey. Our skilled team of designers, cabinetmakers, finishers and installers allows us to handle projects of all sizes from free standing one-of-a-kind furniture with traditional joinery to architectural millwork installations.
Homeowners
Homeowners can work directly with us to develop ideas and designs that perfectly suit their needs and style. Since we design and build each project from scratch, we can accommodate any request, including matching existing architectural woodwork or creating a completely new design for new construction.
Builders, Architects and Designers
Builders, architects, and designers can rely on us to take their ideas and provide tailored solutions, offering new resources and technical support to enhance their designs. Every piece is custom-crafted for the client and branded with our company logo. While we don’t mass produce, we can adapt any design to meet your specific needs.
History and Background
David Ramsay III opened the shop in 1980, with no employees, at the age of 25 after graduating from Rutgers University, Camden with a degree in Art History. His early background in cabinetmaking came from his high school experience at the Church Farm School (CFS) in Glenloch, PA. The experience and reputation of the shop has grown through the past 27 years with each project completed, contributions by employees and interaction with clients and design professionals.
The shop is in its original location, although occupying a much larger space than the original 1,500 square feet. One employee has been with the company since 1982 and almost 75% of the employees have been with the company for more than 10 years.
