How we operate.
We are a custom shop: a big room, piles of wood, lots of tools, and skilled craftspeople building whatever you require. This kind of operation has been around since ancient times, but has always been a reflection of the current state of manufacturing. We overlay modern tools and techniques on traditional methods in order to bring you the best of the past and the future. Our aim is to provide beautiful, durable, and practical furniture at a reasonable price.
We are happy to answer questions of any type, so if you can't find what you need at the FAQs then give us a call or email us. We're not a huge company, so you will speak to a real person (probably Paul Downs) when you call.
Brief History:
Paul Downs started making furniture in 1986, in a small shop in Manayunk. Over the years we have outgrown 4 other shops and we now operate a 33,000 square foot shop in Bridgeport, PA. Half our work is office furniture and the other half is residential. We specialize in large conference and dining tables. This website is dedicated to our conference table work; for a look at more types of furniture, go to www.pauldowns.com
