Elegant Wood Furniture, Built to Reflect Your Style

Located in Cook County, just 25 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, Arlington Heights is a vibrant suburban community known for its welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of hometown pride. With its blend of residential comfort and easy access to the city, the village continues to draw families, professionals, and long-time residents who value convenience and community.

In recent years, Arlington Heights has seen significant business growth, particularly in its lively downtown district. The area is filled with restaurants, shops, and locally owned businesses, making it a bustling destination for dining, entertainment, and everyday activity. The downtown Metra station provides direct access to Chicago, making the village especially appealing to commuters and small business owners.

Arlington Heights also hosts a wide range of annual community events that bring residents together throughout the year. Popular celebrations include the Frontier Days Festival, the Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony, Taste of Arlington Heights, the Arlington Million, and the Arlington on Tap Craft Beer Fest — each contributing to the village’s energetic and community-focused spirit.

A defining landmark of the village is Arlington International Racecourse, long regarded as “the most beautiful track in America.” With more than 80 years of thoroughbred racing history, the racecourse has played a significant role in shaping Arlington Heights’ identity and attracting visitors from near and far.

“I just received my kitchen table and benches from Scott and I can hardly express how pleased I am. Not only is the table perfect for my space, but the quality of the wood is just stunning ? the grain, color and thickness is really special. We live in a 100 year old house and the kitchen has an awkward space for dining. Furthermore, we have two small children, so I was naturally concerned about the table getting destroyed. Scott was so helpful, he helped me select measurements, color, finish appropriate for our lifestyle and living space. The end result was a high quality table at a fraction of the cost of pottery barn, crate and barrel etc. Additionally, he told me that if I ever want to change the dimensions or finish of the table he could take it back and make any adjustments I would like!”
