The Manchester Collection — Where American Craftsmanship Meets Timeless Design
In recent years, the demand for high-quality, handcrafted furniture has grown significantly. As more consumers recognize the environmental impact of mass-produced goods and the value of investing in long-lasting, meaningful pieces, the appeal of artisan-made furniture has surged. This shift has paved the way for collections that prioritize both aesthetics and ethical production. Among these standout offerings is the Manchester Collection — a line that masterfully merges the enduring beauty of Shaker design with the clean sophistication of Mid-Century Modern style.
Manchester Furniture Collection FAQ

What is the difference between the Manchester Dresser and the Chest?
Dressers are usually waist-high, wide, and deep, with 6–9 spacious drawers — great for folded clothes and often topped with a mirror. A chest of drawers, on the other hand, is tall and narrow, making it ideal for maximizing storage in smaller rooms. Chests are perfect for vertical storage when floor space is at a premium. Both options help keep your bedroom organized, but their shapes and sizes fit different needs and spaces.
What should I look for in "high-quality" furniture?
Look closely at the joinery — high-quality furniture often features dovetail joints in the drawers, which are strong, interlocking wedges, rather than just staples or glue. Solid wood construction is another sign of quality; it's heavier, sturdier, and much more durable than particle board (MDF).
Do I need a Box spring on the Manchester Bed?
Our premium platform beds are designed so you don’t need a box spring. Each bed features a sturdy, solid plywood platform — 1/2" thick for most sizes, and 3/4" for twin beds — providing excellent mattress support and long-lasting durability. Simply place your mattress directly on the platform for a streamlined look and optimal comfort. If you have a specific mattress type or additional questions about support, our team is happy to help you find the best setup for your needs.
Should all my bedroom furniture match?
Not at all! While a matching bedroom set creates a coordinated, classic look, many people love mixing pieces from different collections to express their personal style. Combining different shapes, colors, or finishes can add depth and character to your space. For a pulled-together feel, try to keep at least one element consistent — such as wood tone, hardware finish, or style. This way, your bedroom feels both unique and harmonious.
How do I make a small bedroom look larger?
- Opt for a low-profile bed frame (such as a platform bed) to create the feeling of more vertical space and keep the room from feeling crowded.
- Add a large mirror to reflect light and visually double the space, making the room feel brighter and more open.
- Select furniture with exposed legs — being able to see more of the floor helps the room feel more spacious and airy.
