Custom furniture, made to measure
El Nogal builds custom furniture to your measurements in solid wood: dining tables, cabinets, seating, and case pieces. Each one is designed around your room and built by hand by Giovani Ortega in Olney, Maryland. Custom furniture typically runs from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, and most pieces are ready in six to ten weeks.

What you get
A piece designed for your space, built from solid wood you help choose, joined and finished by hand. We start with your room and how you live in it, choose the wood and the joinery to suit, and finish every piece by hand so the grain shows and the surface lasts.
Common pieces
Dining tables, coffee and side tables, cabinets and sideboards, benches and seating, desks, and media units.
Wood and finish
We work in solid hardwoods, walnut among them, and finish by hand. Every piece is finished the way we finish our own work.
