About Us

One halltree at a time,
built for 1,500+ families.

We’re a small, family-run workshop near Athens, Georgia — and every piece we ship starts at a table that used to be a minivan fund.

Franklin Halltree handcrafted in our Athens, Georgia workshop
The founder

It started with one halltree and a minivan.

Hi — I’m Chris McHugh. Back in 2020, our family was growing and we needed a minivan we couldn’t quite afford. I’d been building furniture on the side for a few years, so I listed a handmade halltree on Etsy, hoping it would help close the gap.

It sold. Then another sold. Then another. Six years later we’ve shipped over 1,500 custom pieces to homes in all 48 states — still built by the same small team, in the same shop near Athens.

Your trust and interest in our work mean the world to us. Every piece we build has someone’s back door, school year, and coat pile in mind. That’s not going to change.

What we stand for

A small shop,
by design.

01

U.S.-based, hand-built

Every halltree, locker, and bench is handmade in our Athens, Georgia workshop. Nothing outsourced. Nothing drop-shipped.

02

Cabinet-grade hardwood construction

Cabinet-grade plywood boxes. Cabinet-grade hardwood maple faceframes. Soft-close everything. The same spec a high-end kitchen cabinet uses.

03

Built to your space

Every piece is fully customizable — sizing, finish, paint, hardware. Tell us what you need, we’ll build it.

04

Chris answers the phone

When you call 706.512.6856, you’re talking to the person who will pick your plywood, cut your frame, and sign off on the paint.
