Craftspeople building tables

Furniture makers are craftspeople who design and build furniture—chairs, tables, cabinets, beds.

The term encompasses both industrial manufacturers and individual artisans working by hand.

A furniture maker might mass-produce pieces in a factory or create custom work in a small workshop: The furniture makers of North Carolina built the region's reputation for quality craftsmanship.
