Have you thought about building your own furniture piece but didn’t want to cut all the pieces and follow a difficult pattern? Furniture kits from
Van Dyke's are a great DIY project for those with basic carpentry skills with a rating of 1 or 2 in difficulty.
A Rating of 1 requires a minimal amount
of trimming, gluing, final sanding and staining, and attaching hardware. All components are already cut and
pre-drilled. A Rating of 2 may require
some additional cutting, gluing, sanding, staining, and attaching hardware. Tools needed include hammer,
nails, screws, screwdriver, glue, recessed tip driver, sand paper, stains, varnishes, or paint. Some of our kits are Rating 3 and are designed for
the more skilled craftsman. They may require additional cutting of pieces, shaping, and drilling of holes.
Our kits include everything you need
to build your own heirloom quality shelves, medicine cabinets, Hoosier cabinets,
Mission style tables and
furniture, ice boxes, desks, bookcases, and more. All kits come unfinished so you can
customize them with your own stains,
paint, or sealants.
Hardware is included with all kits, but you can customize your heirloom piece by ordering from our extensive selection of reproduction hardware.
Fall is a great time to start a DIY furniture project. Build your own heirloom table for the holidays or Barrister-style bookcase or desk for a loved one. Our Mission furniture series includes an occasional table, coffee table, dining table, end table, desk and file cabinet.
The iconic Hoosier style cabinet is another popular project. The Hoosier cabinet was a staple in kitchens from 1900 through the 1940’s when modern
appliances replaced these work horses. Van Dyke's carries the 1925 Hoosier Beauty
Standard kit and deluxe kit with wood top. And, we have all the
hardware and accessories that made this a must have in
every kitchen.
