Take a tour through the FFDM manufacturing plant with us and discover some of the things we do to make a significant difference in the FFDM furniture collections.

|
The Fine Furniture Design & Marketing factory has been built for efficiency and long - term versatility. |
|
 |
English dovetails on the fronts and backs of drawers are an expected detail and a sign of fine craftsmanship. |

|
Lumber harvested from the forest is kiln dried to a specific moisture content for stability. Shrink-wrapping helps to preserve its moisture as it moves from the kiln to the manufacturing plant. |
|
 |
Our drawers have a shaped wooden guide so that drawers draw smoothly - with no wobbles or stickiness. Drawers are smooth, clean and finished inside and out, to protect everything from lingerie to sweat suits.
|

|
FFDM takes care of its employees and its furniture with a clean and well-equipped facility. These employees are assembling dressers. |
|
 |
Between the drawers are dust-proofing panels made from wood. Dust-proofing protects items in drawers and also adds structural integrity to the furniture. |

|
The factory was built with today's production needs and tomorrow's expansion in mind. The ductwork collects sawdust making the plant safer and cleaner. Machinery is moveable - allowing for factory expansion. |
|
 |
Each of our case pieces has a finished wooden back that is affixed with screws. No nails or cardboard here. |

|
Hand-carving is a signature of the FFDM design and manufacturing. Each carving is done by an expert carver with sharpened hand tools. |
|
 |
These pieces have been sanded and cleaned and they're on their way to the finishing line. Bright lighting throughout our factory aids quality inspections throughout the manufacturing process. |
 |
Carved moldings add bold detail to our furniture pieces. Notice that our moldings are wood rather than the resin pieces that some manufacturers use. Notice too, that the ends of the molding for The Enduring Collection are left uncarved until a piece is assembled and the corners of the molding are mitered. Once the corners are joined, we finish the carving by hand so that it perfectly transitions around corners without breaking the design.
|
|
 |
Fine finishes require good light and the ability to spray many coats of finish in a dust-free environment. Filters and air filtration draw dust and fumes which is good for the finisher and for the furniture. |
 |
And this is what it looks like when our carvers have hand-carved the corners. |
|
 |
After many coats of finish and hand-rubbing, the furniture is ready to be packed and shipped. FFDM cartons are designed to cushion and protect the furniture. |
