our mission
We launched our worker cooperative in 2022 to combat the 12 million tons of furniture that goes into landfills each year and to create an accessible path to ownership and a steady source of income for aspiring and working craftspeople alike.
For the last 3 years, we have given new life to hundreds of pieces of loved, worn, and broken wood furniture, providing a cost-competitive alternative to big box stores for our community.
We have also grown our team from 2 to 9 people, investing more than a thousand hours to train people in the skills of our craft. We are committed to continue supporting the growing repair community in the Hudson Valley and to teaching others these skills.

OUR ASK
After steadily building our business, team, workshop, and profile for the last 3 years, we’ve reached a critical moment in our journey…
We need to raise $50,000 in working capital to bridge a short-term financial gap and secure our path to long-term profitability and sustainability.
With this money, we plan to organize more classes and workshops for the community, spread the word, train more apprentices, and continue to increase the number of pieces we can repair, refinish, and reimagine in our shop.
Help us become a Hudson Valley institution, providing affordable and critical services to our community from fixing broken chairs to refinishing tables to reimagining an old radio cabinet.
Pre-buy a one of a kind Found and Fixed furniture piece. Gift certificates are available here for $100-$1000 to purchase any of our own fixed pieces.
Give a no-interest loan of $5000 or more. Send us a message if you are interested in this option and we can share lots more details.
Not in a place to give financially?
You can still help by sharing the word about our business!
If you know other folks who are interested in what we do or may want to support a local worker owned coop that is getting off the ground, please tell them about our furniture shop and repair services!
Your support means the world to us! We are trying to create a business that does right by the world, its workers, and the community. We would not be here without the countless hours of dedicated folks both on our team and in our community, who have cheered us on, bought our products, and sometimes even sanded with us.
Every dollar you can give helps us keep furniture out of the landfill and helps train local hands with job skills.
