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.
Best Regards,
Ron & June Grazier
