We get lots of questions about how we ship things. Maybe this will help answer some of those questions. This is two conference tables and a Sleepers coffee table headed to the west coast with an LTL carrier Ceva. FWIW, the folks at Ceva rock! Thanks to John Murphy for turning us onto them.
Had a great time at Architectural Digest in New York and got to see some of the friends we made at One of a Kind in Chicago as well. A big shout out to John Murphy and Geoffrey Keating who we have loved getting to know over the past few months! And Bruce MacDonald and David Stine, too!
Hung out today with these guys after the show today. They are in the same area at the One of a Kind Show with us http://geoffreykeating.com/index.html

See finished pieces on our web site and keep up with what we are doing via Facebook.
With a demand for authenticity, we insist that only railroad materials be integrated into a design. Furthermore, all of our products are completely “Made in the USA” and are crafted in large part by the same hands that work the railroad on a daily basis – honest, hard-working blue-collar laborers.
About the Designers
Robert Hendrick, Rail Yard Studios founder and designer, learned about wordworking and carpentry on the weekends from his father Jim. Together they are the father and son team responsible for the creations that come out of the studio.
Robert was inspired to create Rail Yard Studios after seeing century-old materials being scrapped by his railroad maintenance and construction company.
He received his undergraduate degree in Industrial Design from Auburn University in 1990 and his Masters of Art in Industrial Design from The Ohio State University.
