Experience the Mathewson Standard Difference

Mathewson Standard epitomizes the idea that quality should never be limited by distance. Six years ago, I was faced with a unique challenge when my brother asked me to craft a breathtaking custom walnut dining table. The catch? I was in Chicago, he was in South Carolina, and the miles between us posed a dilemma. Committed to delivering uncompromised quality, I embarked on a journey that led to the creation of the Mathewson Mortise and Tenon system. After nine iterations and half a decade of relentless experimentation, this groundbreaking method emerged as the perfect solution—bridging the gap between superior custom furniture and nationwide accessibility.

Our innovation, the flat-pack system, is anchored in the Mathewson Mortise and Tenon. It upholds the strength of custom-made furniture with its solid hardwood construction and substantial mortise and tenon joints. We take pride in our unwavering dedication to high-end American craftsmanship, sourcing only the finest solid hardwoods for our creations. This commitment to quality sets us apart from mass-produced alternatives, which often compromise on materials.

Augmented by premium American made stainless steel screws and brass inserts, our flat-pack furniture can be effortlessly assembled by anyone in a matter of minutes. Unlike the subpar particle board, and dowels, used in many big-box store offerings, Mathewson Standard's flat-pack system relies on the Mathewson Mortise and Tenon. Thanks to the precision engineering of our components, the joint's inherent strength negates the need for fidgeting with small screws; just one bolt holds the joint together.

At Mathewson Standard, our dedication to delivering unmatched strength and durability in flat-pack furniture goes hand in hand with our profound sense of responsibility. We understand that quality must harmonize with tasteful design. After all, what purpose does a beautifully crafted piece of furniture serve if its design fails to captivate? That's precisely why Mathewson Standard draws upon nearly a decade of furniture design expertise to create products that transcend utility. Our designs are not just easy to use but also evoke a sense of awe when you lay eyes on them.

Our relentless pursuit of quality and design excellence has transformed Mathewson Standard from a humble basement operation into a cutting-edge industrial facility. Here, we harness state-of-the-art tools and innovative engineering software to continually refine our products' strength and durability. Located in Charleston, South Carolina, we have the privilege of personally overseeing every piece that leaves our workshop. This proximity allows us to guarantee strength that endures for generations, style that transcends fleeting trends, and reliability that stands the test of time. This is the Mathewson Standard—a name synonymous with uncompromising quality, and timeless design.
