Beautifully Crafted Wood Furniture, Made to Endure

Located about 40 miles southwest of Chicago, Shorewood is a welcoming Will County community with a growing population of more than 16,000 residents. Once known as a quiet fishing and resort destination, the village has evolved into a thriving suburban area while preserving the charm and easygoing pace that first defined it.

Shorewood offers a strong sense of community, supported by year-round events and gatherings at the Town Center. Families, commuters, and long-time residents appreciate the village’s balance of growth and neighborhood-focused living, making it a comfortable and inviting place to call home.

Natural beauty plays a major role in everyday life. Situated along the DuPage River, Shorewood features 16 well-maintained parks, playgrounds, and scenic trails that provide endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. From riverside walks to biking and community activities, residents enjoy a wide variety of ways to stay active and connected.

“I ordered a custom 96″ table with 6 chairs, a bench and 22″ leaf. I upgraded to 4″x4″ legs and had the chairs finished with a burnt look on the edges. The craftsmanship and quality are impeccable. You will not find anything close to this from any other store. This is quality coming from a local small business. Scott and his team care about their customers. For example, I wasn’t supposed to receive my order until after January 1st and because I told Scott that I was hosting Christmas Eve and that all my family would be there, he made sure the table was done in time. Who does that? Answer, Element Furniture and nobody else.”
