“The assembly is insanely easy and perfect! The little orange mallet and the puzzle-like pieces make me feel like a kid again!”

– Luke M., San Francisco, CA

At Northerly Customs we build you high-quality, elegant, custom-sized furniture that is accessible and affordable. You tell us the size and style you need, and we have your custom-cut kit made at a shop near you, ready to collect and assemble yourself with simple, foolproof, press-fit joinery.

Indulge in custom comfort

Treat yourself to elegant and cozy luxury in your home, cabin, tree house, office, or van! Our booths and benches are custom-sized to fit your space.

They're perfect for anyone who wants to simultaneously add refined comfort and tons of storage to their living space. Immediately. We invite you to try out the lifestyle upgrade of booth seating.

Effortless elegance

Your made-to-order kit packs flat and (except for the simple hinges) assembles entirely without fasteners. You simply knock the pieces together with a mallet. In a few hours you have the full function of a built-in booth, without having a stranger tear up your kitchen for weeks. It's all freestanding, so you can drop it right into place without modifying your home or apartment.

Designed for tough use

This is high-quality, sturdy furniture made from high-quality, sturdy materials. Our work is built to last under heavy use for as long as your home.

Made with love, skill, and salt

We cut our parts on a CNC router and sew our cushion covers by hand in Bellingham, Washington. We are proud to operate out of this Northwest maritime city with a long history of craftsmanship and boatbuilding. Our products are designed by sailor/engineers with a keen sense of materials and practical use of space.

Features

Precision cutting for precision fits

Our parts are cut on a computer-controlled machine (a CNC router) that cuts your parts accurately to within 1/1000th of an inch. This means your edges will be clean and your parts will mate with press-fit precision. That is, easily enough to assemble but snug enough to create firm, solid furniture.

Clever hardware

All of our compartments are supplied with hidden European-style adjustable cabinet hinges for a sleek look and positive feel.

Cozy cushion comfort

Our cushions are wonderfully comfortable, are long-lasting, and are hand-made by seasoned marine upholsterers to exactly fit your bench or booth. This is your chance to personalize your room with a lovely lane of color and texture.

We use a 3" thick, high-density foam with a published life of 12-18 years. This is wrapped in Dacron batting to plump out your covers for a neat, wrinkle-free look. The covers are removable via a zipper underneath.
