My wife and I purchased the cherry Glascow bed from Vermont Furniture Designs six years ago. It was our first piece of fine furniture, and we absolutely love it. The simple yet elegant design has fit in beautifully in every home we've lived in since, and we look forward to getting a lifetime of use from it. When a manufacturing defect was discovered during our most recent move, Rob and his team were quick to respond.
They remade two components and sent them over, complete with new hardware. I've never experienced this level of customer service, especially on a purchase made over half a decade ago. It's amazing to see a company stand behind their products to this degree, and as soon as we are able, I intend to add another piece of their furniture to our bedroom. We happily recommend Vermont Furniture Designs to anyone and everyone!

I have an 8-drawer cherry Burlington Dresser, and it is my most prized piece of furniture, most certainly a family heirloom. The oil finish is velvet-like and rich. In the 12 years I've owned it, I've oiled it once (which was easy), and it looks amazing (we live in So Cal, very dry climate). I love VFD pieces, they are all incredible.

Bought a house and decided a dining table was the most meaningful piece of furniture to invest in. Vermont Furniture Designs delivered in every way. Locally made, with great customer service. We met a new neighbor who was also on the staff. We now have our dream table that will be with us forever, and it is exactly as we imagined it. Can't recommend Vermont Furniture Designs enough.
