About Us
ur
story began in Brooklyn, NY and the year was 1954 when two craftsmen
founded Creative Metal Products, Inc. They put their talents to
forge iron and brass to work in order to supply Cocktail Tables,
Bakers Racks, and Chairs for the New York City carriage trade of
Lord & Taylor, B. Altman, and Bloomingdales. From these humble
beginnings evolved the family owned and operated Creative Metal
& Wood, Inc. The factory is no longer in Brooklyn; in fact,
after a move across the Hudson River in 1964, New Jersey became
home for a 27 year stretch until 1991. It was then that the decision
was made and the factory equipment, personnel, and materials were
moved to our current and permanent home into the heart of furniture
country, Thomasville, North Carolina.
But geography has not been the only change during our 50 year
journey. What had begun as a small collection of steel and brass
designs has over time expanded to include Stainless Steel, Solid
Woods and Veneers, Cabinetry, Chair Frames, Upholstery, Laminates,
and most recently Framed Mirrors.
We now catalogue well over 600 styles within 20 different categories
of home furnishings and continue to grow. And yet throughout all
of our growth and change we have never strayed from our roots as
a manufacturer in the true sense of the word. Unlike many of the
“buyers and re-sellers” of today that outsource the
actual hand labor and skill that goes into building a piece of furniture
we are unique. We, at Creative Metal & Wood take great pride
in the fact that within a single factory facility we are able to
fuse the abilities of :
- A fully functioning and staffed Metal / Blacksmith Shop
- Wood / Cabinetry Shop
- Finishing Operation (Spray and Hand)
- Upholstery Department
- Shipping and Inspections
By actually building our products individually and from start to
finish we are able to offer levels of versatility and quality control
that other “manufacturers” could only hope for.
Therefore, as you consider Creative Metal & Wood and our product
line we encourage you to remember that almost every item you see
will be available in a virtually limitless range of size, shape,
finish, and even design variations. And if you don’t see the
item that will suit your needs within our extensive catalogue we
welcome the opportunity to create or supply custom products for
you!
