Furniture Store Serving Hamilton, ON

Custom Solid Wood Furniture for Hamilton Homes

Every piece is custom. You choose the wood species, dimensions, finish and hardware. A dining table for a century home on Hamilton Mountain has different proportions than one going into a newer build in the east end, and it gets designed that way.

Woods: cherry, oak, walnut and maple. Finishes: 30+ hand-applied stains. Build timing varies by piece, builder and selected options. We confirm the estimated timeline with your order.

Penwood builds full dining rooms, bedroom furniture, home office pieces and living room storage. If it can be made in solid wood, the shop has probably built it.

Visiting the Ancaster Showroom

The floor carries full dining sets, dressers and beds, hutches, home office pieces and living room storage, all in solid hardwood. The pieces on display rotate, so call ahead if you want to see a specific style, wood species or finish.

At the Ancaster showroom you can see the joinery for yourself: open a drawer, look at the corners, compare maple against cherry in daylight. The people on the floor know the furniture from the build side and will give you a straight answer on how each wood ages.

Getting There from Hamilton

From downtown Hamilton, take Highway 403 west to Ancaster. From the Mountain, the Lincoln Alexander Parkway joins the 403 in Ancaster. The showroom is at 1242 Garner Rd W, open Monday to Saturday, and you can walk in without an appointment or book a visit ahead of time.

Pickup at the showroom is free. If you’d rather have the furniture brought to you, our own team delivers it across Hamilton, carries it in and assembles it in your home.

What Makes It Penwood

Every joint in a Penwood piece is cut by hand. Mortise-and-tenon frames, dovetailed drawers, no staples or glue blocks doing the structural work. It’s the way Mennonite craftspeople in southern Ontario have built furniture for generations, and it’s why a Penwood table holds up to decades of daily use in a busy house. Solid Canadian hardwood throughout, kiln-dried before a single cut. Built to be handed down.

Penwood's 20+ master builders work in Mennonite family workshops in Waterloo Region and Wellington County, and have since the business started in 1993. Every order goes back to a specific craftsperson and their shop. Two trees are planted for every one used, and all of the wood that enters the shop gets used.
