Our Work Our heirloom furniture and gifts are handcrafted from solid American hardwoods. We use walnut, cherry, red and white oak, quarter-sawn white oak, maple, curly maple, ambrosia maple and ash. Our designs are simple, clean and timeless, often taking inspiration from the Shakers, as well as Scandinavian and modern design.
Our furniture is finely sanded and finished simply to reveal the natural color and beauty of the wood grain. When you buy our pieces, you can rest assured that you're not bringing questionable wood or dangerous chemicals into your home, because our wood is solid, new, furniture grade lumber, our glue is low-VOC and our finish options are 0% VOC.
We build a lot of furniture for chemically sensitive people, often beds for people buying organic mattresses. With everything we build, we think about safety, usability, functionality and durability of our pieces for generations of use. Our Story Established in 2014, Mountain Mule Hardwoods is a collaboration between Megan Pinch and Nelson Adolphson.

I contacted Mountain Mule Hardwoods to make me a king size custom bed and two nightstands. I chose them for two reasons; 1) They only use products that are safe to the environment and to humans without off gassing toxic chemicals and 2) They were able to customize my bed to fit the Samina Bed system which is different than standard king size mattresses. They went above and beyond on both counts and we couldn't be happier. Besides Nelson's attention to detail and amazing talent working with wood, Megan communicates with you so thoroughly to make sure they understand exactly what your needs are.

I'm glad I stumbled upon Mountain Mule because the craftsmanship, build quality, and look of my custom dresser as well as the bedframe and nightstands are incomparable. They were responsive and easy to talk to and offered really cool suggestions to help me pick out unique designs
and wood finishes that I love. Stay away from chain big-box furniture stores and support a small business that puts the time, thoughtfulness, and love into their work. I only wish I could give more than 5 stars.

We love our bed and nightstands. They are truly beautiful. They are so special. Working with Megan to get what we wanted was fantastic. She was so helpful and provided the perfect amount of guidance. We were a little worried about putting the furniture together but it was really easy. The directions were extremely clear. Cannot wait to get more furniture!

Positive: Quality, Responsiveness
Great experience. Sketches were presented to us for approval based on our needs and the space the 3 pieces were intended for. Pieces were completed within the promised time, and shipped to a Fed Ex freight carrier near us for pick up. Packing was excellent, with plywood crates that were easy to unassemble.

If you are looking for high quality hand made furniture, reach out to Megan and Nelson. They really know what they are doing. As a hobbyist carpenter I am an extreme critic on furniture and their work is fantastic. Just about anything you find from the big companies is junk and costs the same as mountain mule. I am very happy to know that this level of quality is still available, made in USA. We ordered a set of nightstands and they looked even better in person. Production time was quicker than expected and they arrived nicely packaged in custom crates. Don't hesitate to order from this team. Top

100% satisfied first time customer. I saw a desk I liked on Etsy.com and found out it was produced by Mountain Mule Hardwoods. So I reached out to them asking if I could get the same desk with different dimensions and they said they could do it. When I received the desk(I live in Texas) the packaging was on point and the little extras they provided like coasters had a personal touch and felt well taken care of. I was going to opt for a cheaper desk elsewhere but decided to go with a quality desk after reading reviews and make an investment in myself. So worth the money and I remember taking woodshop

I love love love the bed frame and nightstands I bought from MM. The craftsmanship and care that went into the furniture is top notch. Their selection of artsy wood pieces was perfect. Looking at what I purchased makes me appreciate Mother Nature’s exquisite beauty every time I look at it. I had a great experience purchasing from them and def recommend them.

Purchased several items for a small business, including bookshelves, desk, console, and a side table. Could not be happier. Well made, great looking, feels solid. Have had experiences with supposedly "high end" furniture stores including Restoration Hardware and Room & Board, these pieces are way better. Communication was easy. Items very well packed, hard to imagine them being damaged in transport. Pricing is very reasonable. Will be happy to buy again.

Outstanding is the best word to use... my experience with Mountain Mule was incredibly pleasant and I'm in love with my finished pieces. I found MM on Etsy and we "chatted" back and forth to design a series of custom walnut boxes to fit inside a shelving unit I already owned. They were fantastic... very helpful and flexible in the design process, sending clear drawings of the designs and specs, offering great ideas to improve the project and communicating clearly, quickly and regularly throughout the process. They were fantastic in helping me get some beautiful storage boxes for my unit that will
