our history
Crate Designs carries on a tradition of producing quality Canadian furniture at our factory in
Chesley, Ontario - since 1906!
The company was formed as The Chesley Chair Company, producing chairs
for other furniture manufacturers. As the product line was broadened
beyond just chairs the name was changed to Heirloom of Canada. After
discontinuing the Heirloom line of traditional styles in the 1990's, to
concentrate on Crate furniture, the name was changed to Crate
Designs™.
the style
Crate™ is characterized by its clean, simple lines and durable oil finish. The furniture has a hand-crafted look and feel, with sizes designed to make it easy for you to mix and match.
the furniture
Our quality construction begins with carefully selected hard
pine (Southern Yellow and
Radiata), ideal for long lasting furniture. Veneered panels are used on doors and most tops, for easier cleaning and greater stability.
the choice
You’re searching for solutions. Find your answers from over 300 styles, sizes and standard variations of furniture. Choose from hundreds of exciting
fabric patterns and colours.
the finish
The standard oil finish* is simple and easy to care for - the inevitable scrape or scratch is almost invisible.
You can also choose a lacquer finish on most tops or order your furniture pieces unfinished to personalize them yourself!
(* non-toxic, no peanut oil, and very environmentally friendly!)
mattresses
Premier foam mattresses are crafted in our own factory to ensure quality and value. You can be assured of a long life with our high-density foam construction.
Dreameasy latex and memory foam bedding is made in Canada to our specifications. Details
