Furni! (Who's Coming?)

Meet FURNI:



"Started a little over 4 years ago by Devin Barrette and myself (Mike Giles), Furni began as a 'custom' furniture operation. Back then we cashed in our unemployment cheques and, tired of working for the “man”, decided to go it alone. Using our first deposit cheque to pay for tools we managed to rent a small shop and dig in...lucky for us Devin's cabinet making skills and my limited knowledge of design got us a good start. These days were are shifting focus more and more to exploring and creating our own designs, we’re still very hands on, from picking the rough lumber all the way to staining, finishing, boxing and shipping the final product. We are just a two man operation, but proud of the flexability and control it gives us over the end product. If you guys keep on buying we will keep on creating!"
