You can visit the J&M 10,000 square foot showroom in Allensville.

When it comes to quality, custom made furniture J&M Country Furniture & Crafts in Allensville always has the customer in mind. Come and explore Josh and Mary Peachey’s 10,000 square foot showroom filled with unique hardwood furniture built on location in the connecting shop. Whether it’s different measurements for an existing piece or a completely new design, Josh can help create any furniture to fit the customers’needs.

At J&M, they specialize in barn door furniture designed by Josh himself.

But customers aren’t just limited to items that are in the showroom. “If the customer lets us know what they are looking for we can go from there to make the custom design,” Josh said. “It all starts with the measurements.” All of the rolling barn doors on J&M’s furniture feature soft closes to avoid slamming and banging of the door. J&M has over ten different hardwood species to choose from including poplar, oak, ash, walnut, elm and hickory to name a few.

Most of the wood used at J&M is cut and dried at a local lumber mill a tenth of a mile from the shop. This not only allows J&M to keep their stockpile of hardwoods full but greatly reduces the delivery time for any wood needed for a custom project. J&M also offers a variety of natural wood and stain finishes, one of which they created themselves. “It’s a new color you won’t find on the market,” Josh said. The color they refer to as “Beach” is a combination of colored lacquers, stain and clearcoat that, when applied, comes out a blueish gray color that shows the grain of the hardwood.

Once Josh has a design drawn up the specifications are taken into J&M’s shop for him and his crew of 8 craftsmen to begin work on the custom piece of furniture. The piece of furniture undergoes a 7 to 8 step process with the desired stain, colored lacquers and clear coat. Once dry, the custom piece is assembled and its hardware, such as knobs and handles, are attached. Finally, the piece goes through a quality check and is inspected for any defects. If any defect is found, the crew at J&M will remake and refinish the piece. Making a custom piece of furniture at J&M from the cutting station to final assembly usually takes 3 to 4 days to complete.
