Birchwood Furniture is where you can find furnishings designed for Canadian homes. From our living room pieces to our bedroom furnishings, everything we create is crafted locally in Canada, much of it in Calgary, and we are passionate about supporting the local artisans we work with. 

Birchwood furnishings are locally made, sustainably produced, and built to the highest quality. Each piece is full of character, crafted to withstand generations, and beautiful enough to stand out as a statement in your home.

While imported furniture might catch your eye, understanding what makes locally crafted pieces like ours so unique can guide you toward a decision you can feel great about. With Birchwood Furniture, you can support your community while bringing home the high-quality, timeless pieces you have been looking for.

True Craftsmanship vs. Mass Production

When you choose Birchwood, you are purchasing more than furniture—you are acquiring a piece that tells a story. Unlike many imported brands, which rely on mass production, Birchwood’s team of skilled artisans uses time-honoured techniques to ensure quality in every unique detail.

Solid Canadian Hardwood  

Imported furniture is often made from particleboard or MDF, materials prone to wear and tear. Our pieces, on the other hand, exclusively use sustainably sourced hardwood. Its natural durability and beauty result in furniture that can stand the test of time.

Handcrafted to Perfection  

The artisans we work with pour care and precision into every joint, curve, and finish, giving each piece a distinctive character. Where some imported brands focus on volume, we prioritize quality, making special, heirloom-quality pieces that are built to last.  

Endless Customization Options

Your home is an extension of who you are, and your furnishings should reflect that. When you choose us, you can expect us to provide endless possibilities for customization.  

We offer a variety of woods, stains, fabrics, and finishes, allowing you to create a piece that fits seamlessly into your home. Whether you prefer a classic walnut dining table or a modern upholstered sofa, we have you covered.  

From size modifications to personal touches, we can create custom furnishings with a level of service that ensures your piece is truly one-of-a-kind and perfect for your home.

We Are Partnered with the Best  

To enhance our customization offerings, we also partner with top Canadian brands like Handstone and Sahara Furniture Manufacturing. By working closely with other Canadian furniture designers, we are able to expand the pieces we offer—and your options for personalizing them. 

Handstone has been creating thoughtfully designed furnishings for Canadian homes since 1999. With a commitment to eco-friendly practices and craftsmanship that shines through every piece, they can help bring beauty and purpose to your space.

Sahara Furniture Manufacturing has been handcrafting stunning, timeless furniture in Abbotsford, BC since 1996. They use natural, solid wood, and every piece is designed to bring warmth and style to any home.

Sustainably Made, Responsibly Sourced

We take sustainability seriously, and use eco-friendly practices to create furniture that you can feel good about owning. All the wood we use is harvested from responsibly managed Canadian forests. This ensures minimal environmental impact while supporting local forestry industries.

We are also committed to low-waste manufacturing practices. By minimizing excess waste during production, we can create furniture that’s as sustainable as it is beautiful. Our pieces are also designed to last for decades, reducing the need for replacement and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.

No Compromises: Quality Over Convenience

The quick shipping and low prices that can come from many international brands often come at a significant cost to quality and craftsmanship. Our focus is always on timeless, exceptional design and durability—we want to create furnishings that reflect your style and last for generations. Each piece is crafted to stand apart from fleeting trends, ensuring your investment retains its beauty and function.

We know that our commitment to customization and quality means our pieces may not be available as fast as “next-day delivery” pieces, but the lasting quality and satisfaction they bring make our pieces an investment worth every penny.
