Overview

Furniture shopping for pieces that both fit your space and look great can really take a chunk out of your wallet. Instead of battling the crowds at big furniture stores or crossing your fingers and hoping the couch you picked online will match your curtains, take the guesswork and frustration out of the mix by making your own furniture! Go big and bold or simple and classic, as long as it fits your taste, it’ll fit right in the Furniture Contest!

Furnish your living space with charming homemade furniture and you could win awesome tools from Woodcraft including a Disc Sander, Band Saw, and Branding Iron. Compete for the two judges' prizes; one for making a chair and another for showing off your upholstery skills. Construct the perfect table, bed frame, shelf and more that will give your sparse space just the right personal touch.

The Furniture Contest 2017 is closed.
