About Contemporary Southwest

Thank you for your interest in our furniture. I would like to take a few moments to tell you about us.

We are a custom, contract furniture designer and manufacturer, and we manufacture to customer order. We produce our orders in the sequence in which we receive deposits on an order. Most of the time, our average lead time approximately 18 weeks from the time that an average order is placed. Very large, or intricate and extremely custom orders will take longer depending upon the details of the order.

This is our 16th year in the business. We are members of the Better Business Bureau, and we are happy to provide references upon request. Besides our standard designs (featured on our website), we also custom design as well. Our factory showroom is located conveniently near the airport here in Albuquerque, and we are happy to set up appointments for those customers who prefer to place their orders on site. Our hours are M-F 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Appointments are recommended for those customers coming in from out of town.

Our furniture is manufactured of kiln-dried sugar pine which is the highest grade of pine, and also the most stable. Sugar pine comes from the Pacific Northwest coast. The furniture is individually hand carved and handcrafted by skilled artisans who take great pride in their work. It is mortise and tenon construction with french dovetail drawers which glide like silk. Each drawer is hand fit to each piece of furniture and each drawer front is hand fit. Doors are hand fit to the opening. Our finishes are a state of the art commercial system which completely seals the furniture and makes it impervious to moisture as well as making it very easy to care for. We offer 8 different standard finishes ranging from natural to whitewash to very dark, and accent colors in the carving details can be any colors of your choice. While it is not our forte, any of our collections can be ordered in a “distressed” option which will provide a more rustic appearance while still maintaining the same high level of construction and finish. We can proudly say that our furniture is some of the highest quality southwestern furniture to be found anywhere, and consequently a very large percentage of our customers come back for more year after year.

While other companies may consider themselves to be a custom furniture manufacturer, only giving you two or three options to choose from, we can design and produce one of a kind pieces to suit your style, size requirements, finish and colors, and to meet the desired function for which the pieces are being designed. This is truly furniture designed and manufactured for you for your lifetime.

We really appreciate your interest in our furniture and hope to hear from you again soon. Please let us know how we can be of further assistance.
