What We Do
Tuohy Furniture is maker of premium casegoods, tables, seating and conference room furniture. We pride ourselves in combining craftsmanship and automation to craft personalized wood furniture that meets your every need.
Led by the third generation of family members, Tuohy was born out of Joseph Tuohy’s love of creating handmade furniture in Chatfield, Minnesota in the 1950’s. Tuohy has maintained its craftsman origins while continuing to improve and invest in manufacturing to meet today’s environmental and design standards.
We own our own veneer panel company, so custom veneers, along with our many standard options, is what we do. Whether you need walnut, oak, and maple or black limba, birdseye maple, or figured mozambique, we can do it.
Tuohy hand selects the finest veneers for our products. We use only book-matched veneer for all plain slice cuts, and slip-matched veneers for all quarter-sawn cuts. This provides balanced color, a uniform appearance and consistent grain and color.
Highest quality veneers are sequentially suite-matched and tagged for each office or workstation suite, so everything matches across the office setting.
Our partner company, Saunders Wood Specialties, lays up each and every panel for our furniture, providing endless freedom and quality control in selecting veneers for each project.
Our wood finish is a self-sealing, water reduceable acrylic and is hand-sprayed with heat applied between each coat to ensure full cure. Stain matching is built into our manufacturing process to allow the designer complete color freedom.
Parametric manufacturing allows for resizing of width, depth, and height of each component for endless custom applications and a built-in looking solution.
Drawer construction is a solid wood laminated English dovetail joinery drawer with 4-sided dado bottom for greater bottom loading and overall durability. All doors and most drawers are soft close.
All mitered cabinetry is glued and framed construction. Non-mitered cases are milled, sanded, and finished prior to assembly using a PAS (precision assembly system) for a superior construction method to exceed BIFMA standards. This system is often more durable than wooden dowel construction and provides more precision alignment of components during assembly.
All products are sanded on all 6 sides for no rough edges, even on the bottom of cabinets.
A wide variety of edge details, hardware pulls, wood veneers and custom finishes are available as part of the standard manufacturing process.
Tops for most products can be specified in veneer, solid surface, stone, granite, glass and many other custom materials and up to 5” in thickness.
