McKinnon Furniture’s spring
“build it yourself” shop class was
a roaring success. A full class of
fun and enthusiastic McKinnon
Furniture fans and budding
woodworkers came together one
Saturday in May to build
their own tables.
Each participant selected the wood
to be used and completed all the
steps to create their very own
end table or sofa table. McKinnon
woodworkers Sheri Buck and Chad
Kingsley led each person through
the process of cutting, gluing,
drilling, biscuit cutting, sanding,
sanding, sanding, oiling and
assembling their table.
To sign up for our next class on
September 21st, 2013, call Karinne
at (206) 768-2484!
It was a very fun group who
helped and teased each other, and
had lots of laughs throughout the
day. Everyone took home with
them a beautiful, handcrafted
piece of furniture that they made
themselves. One called the class
“a great experience that made me
treasure my McKinnon furniture
even more.”

We have received many requests recently for
upholstered beds, and in response, we think you’ll like
what we came up with. We’d like to introduce you to
our first upholstered bed, the Berkeley Button-tufted
upholstered bed! It’s sleek, stylish, and contemporary
with an added layer of luxury
due to the
soft, well
tailored
upholstered
headboard.
We think it’s
impossible to
not get a good
night sleep
when slumbering
in a beautiful
new upholstered
Berkeley bed.
