Mary Beth Barenborg, President and CEO of Stunt Double Inc., a boutique branding firm specializing in brands manufactured in the United States, launched the furniture brand of Iron & Oak in 2013, giving Americans a new way to buy furniture.
Created to fill the void for American made custom furniture, of Iron & Oak provides high quality furniture at realistic prices. Because of Iron & Oak doesn’t place emphasis on expensive catalogs and lavish retail locations like their competitors, they are able to reinvest their profits into what matters: the make of the furniture.
From classic leather Chesterfield sofas to sleek mid-century modern sectionals, the design possibilities are endless for of Iron & Oak’s clients. Though most business is done through their website, www.ofironandoak.com, clients can now meet the team and plan their own custom furniture in person at the new Lambertville showroom. The change in location has helped of Iron & Oak build personal connections with their clients while continuing to craft their well-built furniture one piece at a time in their North Carolina workshop.
“After years of online business providing our product to homes across the country, of Iron & Oak is thrilled to have the comfort of a city as beautiful and welcoming as Lambertville to call home,” said owner Mary Beth.
The decision to create custom furniture, as opposed to large-scale mass production, came from a respect for quality and a desire to maintain the highest quality standards possible at a reasonable price. By creating each piece to order, of Iron & Oak eliminates the wasted resources put into stock pieces that don’t sell. Without the extra overhead costs associated with maintaining an inventory, of Iron & Oak, together with the craftsmen they partner with in North Carolina, is able to keeps costs low on each custom piece and achieve their ultimate goal: high quality, made to order furniture that lasts a lifetime.
“No more waiting weeks for furniture to arrive from overseas, no more shoddy workmanship, and finally – quality at a surprisingly affordable price,” says Mary Beth, when asked about of Iron & Oak’s goal, “You don’t have to pay Restoration or Pottery prices for foreign made knockoffs. Just visit our showroom or website, choose your options and finishes and your new furniture will be shipped directly to your home with our standard VIP delivery service. Why buy what everyone else has?”
Whether you live close by, or have your roots a little bit further away, a trip to the of Iron & Oak showroom is well worth it. Nestled into the historic river town of Lambertville, NJ, clients can work a visit into a day of browsing fine art galleries, shopping for antiques, or even taking a stroll down the canal path. There’s always a memory to be made in Lambertville, and the creative team at of Iron & Oak would like nothing more than to share that memory with you.
