a little About ME
Hello All
Let me start out by first introducing myself. My name is Tom, and I'm the face behind the brand.
I started my company back in 2015 in a small one-car garage at the condominiums I was occupying.
I began with upcycling furniture and reselling on Facebook as a side hustle to make some extra money while in the optical field. After about my tenth year in optics, I realized I was no longer doing what I was intended to do, no longer using my creative-driven brain, my artistic urge. I lost touch with who I actually was and became almost a robot in society.
When I started Citizen (at that time Urban Wood), it brought back that feeling that was beyond lost for so long. The feeling of accomplishment, the feeling of being a human again, the freedom to create how I wanted to, not how some corporation told me to.
I have now enveloped my life around it. It has not only taught me how to be creative again, it has allowed me to portray my passion to every single one of my clients.
You are the reason I get to do what I do, and my promise is to show my appreciation in every single piece I build.
My Process
At Citizen Wood Company, I strive for uniqueness. My pieces are built with precision, quality, care, and one at a time. This is what sets me and Citizen Wood apart from major retailers. I specialize in handmade, beautiful live edge dining tables, river dining tables, epoxy tables, farmhouse dining tables, credenzas, conference tables, kitchen islands, and custom-made decor. I use only the highest quality of sustainably sourced wood, non-VOC finishing products, and top-of-the-line machinery to fabricate your one-of-a-kind heirloom piece.
My Guarantee
From the moment CWC receives your order, I will include you, the client, with the entire design process. Whether it be a live edge table, a river table, or just a classic farmhouse table, you will get to choose from various wood species, colors of glass or epoxy, all the way down to the base design. I believe client input is very important and want you to be comfortable and included along the way. Furniture is a costly purchase that will need to last many years and with the change of your personal styles along the way, so do not be shy in using your imagination along with mine to create the perfect piece. Don't have the creative niche? That’s okay too, I will happily design your piece from the ground up.
