I found it's not trash on Craigslist and loved the idea of using recycled wood, supporting a family run business and getting custom made furniture. I ordered a king sized bed for a new apartment I was moving into. You can choose the stain and custom options like a shelf or lights on the headboard. I like minimal furniture in my apartment and Nancy's design saved me money and space because I no longer needed side tables or a lamp. I wasn't sure what type of stain to order because my room is wood paneled but Nancy sent me pictures of my options (because stains can change color based on the wood) and I think the color turned out great. Nancy, her granddaughter and daughter in law showed up yesterday to deliver the bed and put it together. I was very impressed to see these three women carry the heavy headboard up my three flights of stairs! It is the sturdiest bed I've ever owned and they assembled it in my bedroom which made it easier to get into my bedroom. We had a couple of issues (the wood was cut too long, and the panels had to be rescrewed in), but Nancy and her family brought all the tools to make it right and they were a pleasure to be around. The bed turned out better than I could have imagined and I want to get all my furniture made by them now!

Love it! I ran past one of their ads on Instagram and had my husband look them up. We love the rustic look so it was easy to fall in love with their stuff. We immediately ordered a head board and footboard! Within a week or so I received a call about how the process works and also found out that this is a small family run and owned business. It's well worth the cost although it may initially sound expensive. Think about what you're getting and what you're supporting for that money: - Unique design based on your specifications - very sturdy and hand made - supporting local/small business - made with reclaimed/ real wood instead of composite - you're not going to find this level of hospitality or level of Cs anywhere else - From build to delivery is super fast We love our new bed frame!

I'm very pleased with my purchases from It's Not Trash. I first requested a custom hanging barn door for my home and it turned out beautifully. Katie worked with me to design the door and color choices to my likes. Nancy delivered it to my home and her husband made a special trip out to help me hang it. I loved my door so much that a couple months later I asked Katie if she could build me a couple desk tops for my office. I just got my new desktops and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend It's Not Trash for your next custom design!

We loved our bed son much that when it was time to get a large bed for our daughter we knew where to go. Placed order via site, contacted within a few days to go over quote and in 2 weeks her bed was complete (yellow comforter). We ended up picking up and setting up ourselves which was simple to do. Our daughter (and us) love it!

My fiancé and I got a bed from Its Not Trash and we couldn't be happier! Nancy was a pleasure to work with and the bed came out better than we could ever imagine. I would highly recommend this business and look forward to future furniture purchases!

If you look for a high quality hardwood bed - dont look any further! Beautiful custom designs with very reasonable pricing!! After coming across the It's not trash website and submitting an inquiry including a few pictures of my design wish, Nancy reached out within 2 days to discuss the details. It was an incredibly easy and smoth process and got my bed delivered within 10 days! Nancy sent me regular updates and communicated very clearly about the progress. She then delivered the bed and assembled it in my apartment. Cant emphasize enough how much i love my bed! Thank you Nancy

I ordered & purchased a headboard and matching nightstand from Chelsea, I have never had a matching bed set and I am so glad that I finally do! The ordering process was simple, waiting time was quick & installation was given upon delivery! Both pieces are STURDY & just BEAUTIFUL, I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. Not only did they provide quality product, but the customer service was just as excellent. Support this local business!!

Nancy created the most gorgeous wood headboard and platform bed, was a joy to work with, and even came to install it herself. A truly amazing company to work with for custom, hand-crafted, local furniture. HIGHLY recommended!

Redwood dining table and benches made by It's Not Trash

Nancy built an incredibly beautiful dining table for our family using 60-year-old redwood. Per our request, she built two benches that fit perfectly underneath the table. She also ensured that both the benches and the table were very well supported. When you have a curious toddler who loves to climb, this is key. We love that Nancy used reclaimed wood. It makes the table one-of-a-kind. In addition to providing amazing customer service, Nancy was incredibly fast. When we told her that we would love to get the table in time for a party, she immediately got to work and delivered it within two weeks. Our table was worth every penny. I would highly recommend It's Not Trash to anyone.

I couldn't make it work on my end but Nancy invited me to her workshop if I wanted to see progress first hand.

I really wanted a burl coffee table made of redwood and 'virtually' stumbled across this place…read moreafter many hours of looking at different Bay Area businesses online. On a Sunday afternoon, I called and left a message, and they returned my call the same day to confirm they had a few coffee tables I could look at. They mentioned they usually close around 5pm but would stay open since they knew I was coming down. So I drove down, parked on the street in front of the business (house across from the high school) and walked in. Inside there were sculptures, animal figurines, wall clocks, bowls, plates, and lot of other things - all made of redwood. Of course there were several tables made of redwood, all very reasonably priced compared to other Bay Area redwood table makers. They mentioned they had over 50 years of experience with table making and their beautiful work backs up that claim. The owner Norma and her daughter Nancy were absolutely wonderful to talk to and made the whole experience terrific.

Cliff Short and Norma, his wife of nearly 60 years, run this adorable little carved wood store in…read morethe Santa Cruz Mountains. Cliff isn't currently as involved in the day-to-day operations as he was at one time, but his beautiful wood crafts adorn the walls, counters and front yard. Beautiful pieces of trees are transformed into swimming dolphins and soaring eagles, tables and benches, or even clocks. Stone and metal are also used but the wood carvings are why we stopped as we drove down Hwy 9. My husband has recently started making crafts with his dad and they are currently playing with wood. He was looking for Redwood while we were in the area. They sell pieces of redwood here but none were the size/shape he was looking for so we left without purchasing any. Norma was happy to let us walk around, talk to her, and even snap some pictures of their fantastic work. If youre in the Felton area you should allot some time to walk around this store and it's surrounding property and admire the unique and detailed pieces. It is so impressive and definitely worth your time!
