In the early days we built just about anything for local individuals and businesses. We built beds, tables, bookcases, office furniture, jewelry boxes, etc. But over the years there were a few events that formed the product line we offer today.

In 1998, I introduced myself to Carey Hewitt, the owner of Old Town Fort Collins’ favorite retail store, The Cupboard. They specialize in kitchen furnishings and without hesitation he asked me if I would be interested in building recipe boxes because he had been searching for a high quality recipe box to sell to no avail. Carey, with his 30 years of retail experience, discussed with me the pros and cons of the other recipe boxes available on the market. A short time later I showed Carey the recipe box that I had built with his guidance and he said, “I’ll take 20. And then let’s discuss some other product possibilities.” Well, serving trays, cutting boards, napkin holders and Shaker peg racks soon followed.

In 1999, a local restaurant owner, Rob Osborne, requested some simple, strong shelf brackets for his office. We designed and built him something very similar to our current Maple Straight 10 corbel. The installation went very smoothly and I had an “everybody could use one of these” moments. We then decided to advertise our shelf brackets to the local community which resulted in a few sales.

In 2003, many homeowners across the country were having their kitchens remodeled because there was a new emphasis placed on making the kitchen into a place for entertaining guests as well as food preparation. Kitchen designers were strongly recommending seating in the kitchen, so countertops were being built with overhangs to accommodate bar stools. Furthermore, the countertop installers were telling the homeowners that their overhangs require corbels. Personally, I considered corbels to be heavier and more ornate than our brackets. But the fact was clear. Homeowners were told they needed to buy corbels. So they Googled corbels. Thus, purely for Google marketing purposes, our countertop brackets became corbels and our website visits and subsequent sales increased dramatically.
