Custom Wood Furniture, Built for Everyday Living

Located about 35 miles southwest of Chicago, Plainfield is a fast-growing Will County community that has transformed significantly over the past few decades. In 1990, fewer than 5,000 residents called the village home — and today, Plainfield’s population has expanded to an estimated 42,000, reflecting its strong appeal to families, professionals, and newcomers.

Plainfield’s convenient location near major highways and interstates makes it an ideal choice for commuters and small business owners who want easy access to the city while enjoying the comfort of suburban living. The village features a vibrant downtown filled with shops, restaurants, and locally owned businesses, helping Plainfield maintain a welcoming small-town atmosphere even as it continues to grow.

Throughout the year, Plainfield hosts a lineup of community events and festivals that bring residents together, including Plainfield Fest, the Irish Parade, Cruise Nights, Spooktacular, movies in the park, and a variety of seasonal concerts. These gatherings contribute to the village’s strong sense of community and hometown pride.

“We absolutely love our new table! We had searched several furniture stores for something unique and high-quality, but were left disappointed. So we turned to the internet for a possible antique gem we could fix up ourselves. Instead, we were lucky to find Scott’s Element Furniture! Everything about our new table is perfect, and Scott exceeded our expectations. He was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, from picking size and stain, to delivering and setting it up for us. We have, and will continue, to recommend Scott to our friends and family.”
