Walnut Arm Chair by Ruppel Design
Our Signature Chairs

Contact Us 615.587.0519
 
     Since most of our designs are built to order, personal service is very important to us in the ordering process.  When you order a piece from us, you will be working directly with the designer and maker.  If you happen to be in the Nashville area, we enjoy meeting you in your home, or in ours, where you can view the quality of our craftsmanship.  

Payment
 
    We build furniture on a customer request basis and require a 50% deposit to begin all orders.  We will provide you with a written confirmation to ensure the accuracy of your order.  We will contact you when your order is nearing completion to set up shipping or delivery.  The balance will be due prior to shipment or upon delivery. (where available)

Custom Commissions
 
     We specialize in the unique challenges of creating one-of-a-kind designs for our customers.  First we will meet with you to learn about your unique requirements.  Then we will develop a design which will meet all of your needs.  We will send you our concepts,  a price quote, and a project time line.  Once a design is approved we require a 50% deposit with the balance due upon delivery.  Lead times on custom orders are generally longer due to the design process.  Please contact us directly to discuss your project.

Immediate Delivery
 
     Some of our furniture is available straight off the shop floor.   In this case we can arrange for pick-up, delivery, or shipping within a matter of days.  

Delivery and Shipping
 
     Whenever possible, we prefer to hand deliver our furniture to its new home.  We do not charge for delivery in the Nashville area.  Outside the area we will assess a delivery fee.  For orders that we cannot deliver, shipping will  be arranged through either Fed-Ex or common carrier for larger orders.  Crating and shipping charges will be quoted upon order confirmation.  We keep shipping costs as low as possible (while ensuring safe delivery) and never profit on the shipping of our furniture.

Generations of Craftsmanship
     The Ruppel Design Group, founded in 1988, consists of the father/son team of Terry and Ross Ruppel.

    To the Ruppels, designing and building is a family tradition. Their work focuses on the beauty of select native hardwoods and traditional joinery and finishing techniques. The patina and character of each wood are highlighted whenever possible, and each piece is finished by hand-rubbing with a unique oil mixture developed over time.

    The pieces are well designed without sacrificing any functionality. To the Ruppel Design Group, a perfectly designed piece means the blending of wood colors, patterns, surfaces, forms, repetition, and rhythms into an interesting and thought-provoking piece.
