We absolutely love our custom dining table and side table. The craftsmanship is exceptional, the wood is beautiful and REAL, and the clean modern lines fit our space perfectly. Both pieces feel solid and substantial, yet warm and inviting, and they’ve instantly become the focal points of our home. Alex nailed every detail we asked for, and we constantly get compliments from guests. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend this custom work to anyone looking for unique, high‑quality furniture. This is truly a lost art.
Working with Alex and Kelly at Southpaw furniture on our custom white oak island and table has been an outstanding experience. From the very first message, they were incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and truly listened to what we wanted. Every step of the way felt collaborative and professional, but also personal- like they genuinely cared about getting it just right for our home.
The quality of the woodworking is on another level. The island and table Alex built for us are absolutely stunning!! Far nicer than anything we were able to find in a store, even at high-end furniture and kitchen showrooms. The details, the craftsmanship, the finish… you can really see and feel the difference. We get so many compliments from everyone who walks into our kitchen.
The process itself was extremely thoughtful and well done. Instead of just sending a picture or a stain chart, they actually shipped us physical samples of the stain on real pieces of wood so we could see exactly how it would look in our space. He worked closely with me to design custom drawer inserts and a custom-sized pull-out, making sure everything functioned perfectly.
It’s very clear that Southpaw is a quality-first business where they truly care about customers ending up with an incredible piece they’ll love for years. I would highly, highly recommend them to anyone considering custom furniture or cabinetry.

Alex and Kelly were amazing to work with and catered to everything that we asked of them.

We are truly impressed with their work and would recommend Southpaw to anyone looking for a high quality table at a reasonable price. Thank you to you both for your attention to detail and excellent service.

We love our new table from southpaw furniture! Alex and his wife were fantastic to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. I would highly recommend their work.
I absolutely love my table. It is truly a carpenter’s masterpiece.
I looked a long time for a dining room table and then I found Southpaw on Marketplace. I wanted a sleek table and Alex helped me design a Danish style table out of black walnut and notice the bevel cut edges and metal base. It’s stunning!
It was a pleasure to purchase from a local company that communicates promptly and most of all a company that takes pride in the quality of their work. Thank you Alex and Kelly!
Really great custom table! Dark oak on walnut. They delivered it in perfect condition. Really great family business and the turn time was not long. Now I need to find the perfect chairs to go with this beautiful table! Thanks guys!
We love Alex and his tables. We've now bought three, all of them exactly what we needed and wanted. And gorgeous! We had a small issue with one table, and Alex immediately offered a perfect fix. So happy we found Southpaw Furniture.b
We are absolutely in love with our custom dining table — it is stunning. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the warmth and character it brings to our home is something we could never have found in a store. Every detail feels intentional and made with care. It’s clear that Kelly and Alex pour their heart into their work.
From start to finish, they were incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating. It was such a joy to work with them, and we’re already dreaming up our next project together.
If you’re looking to support a talented local maker or a family-run business in the Chicagoland area, we can’t recommend them enough. This table is more than furniture — it’s art made with love.

I was looking for a dining room table that would seat eight, preferably solid wood. Found Alex's ads on marketplace and started communicating with him. He was a good communicator right off the bat so I set up a time to check out his operations and see the furniture in person. I decided to go with a black walnut table. He turned it around within the time frame that he had promised along with delivery to the job site. It's a great looking piece and I'm I'm very happy with it.
I did my research and shopped around after deciding to invest in a heirloom dining set. I quickly zeroed in on Southpaw Furniture company. I liked that they were built in America by Americans , yet were still competitively priced compared to Chinese and foreign manufacturers. The ordering process was seamless and the company seemed happy to answer my questions. After getting a clear understanding of the quality and craftsmanship that went into their manufacturing, it was a no brainer to order. I’m glad I did. The table and chairs arrived and surpassed my expectations. They were beautiful. Real quality. I am going to have to order more pieces so my kids don’t fight over them in my estate. Haha. Seriously, this is beautiful furniture and we are very happy with our purchase.
