the urban collections story

Modest Beginnings

Yutzy Woodworking started with a dream. A dream to run a business based on Amish principles—humility, family and community. Today Yutzy Woodworking includes the second generation running the business alongside the first, with the same principles yet expanding to meet future goals. With traditional Amish furniture combined with second-generation dreams, you will find quality American-made furniture you will fall in love with for years to come.

At Yutzy Woodworking, we’re dedicated to customer satisfaction, which means we focus on superior customer service. With the best sales team and customer service, we are here to serve the needs of our customers. While bringing new trends into our product offering, we also maintain the stability and dependability of tradition. Tradition not just in our product offering but also in our customer service—you won’t get a machine when you call—you get an actual person who is here to serve you.

Leading The Nation And Still Growing

Urban Collections by Yutzy Woodworking has grown from a small shop to the leader in the USA in domestic solid wood furniture. Our employee numbers have swelled fivefold in just a few years, and this factory employs more people than any other Ohio solid wood furniture factory. The secret is out; our independent streak has created a company that does not buy parts from area factories and put their bedrooms together like a puzzle. No, we make all our components, do our glue-up for wood panels, make our doors, and make our dovetail panels for drawers. With all of this done in-house by our own hands they can be crafted into bedrooms so diverse that we can handle every pertinent style important in furniture retail today.

Techniques True To Our Quality

We give you the best time-tested construction techniques and the best catalyzed, heirloom-quality, silky smooth, durable finish that foreign manufacturers CAN NOT reproduce. The beautiful thing is we will continue to employ many more Americans, and we will only get better. Our work speaks for itself.

These modern hybrid factories benefit from a wonderful group of gifted craftsmen who are changing the domestic furniture landscape. We are proud of our state-of-the-art case goods, bed, and finishing facilities.

10 Reasons Why The Urban Collections Is An Incredible Value

Dovetail drawer 300x300

Dovetail Drawers

The front and back corners of each drawer feature English dovetail joinery, which produces a drawer strong enough to withstand a lifetime of openings.

spacerballs

Floating Spacer Balls

We place these rubber ball bearings inside the frames of all floating panels, which allow the panels to expand and contract naturally without causing warpage, splitting or rattling.

solidtops

Solid Wood Tops & Side Panels

Solid wood tops and side panels are a signature of heirloom quality furniture. Every case piece we make – whether a small media chest or a tall armoire – features only the best solid wood top and side panel construction.

cornerstability

Corner Stability

Case furniture features reinforced wooden corner blocks to add strength to your furniture and prevent it from racking when handling or moving furniture.
Graduated drawers Web block 300x300

Graduated Drawers

All of our cases are designed with drawers that increase in size from top to bottom. Although more difficult to design, the result is a truly stylish and sophisticated look. In addition, all drawers extend fully for maximum storage capacity.

Solid finished drawers Web block 300x300

Solid 5/8" Finished Drawers

Interiors finished with 2 coats of Catalyzed Conversion Varnish. Each drawer is sanded smooth providing a clean look and the ultimate protection for your clothing.
Smooth Glide system web block 300x300

Smooth Glide System

Smooth operation and full access to the entire drawer is achieved by our fully extended Accuride ball-bearing glide system. Drawers are attached at the sides onto solid wood; no plastic or staples are used in our construction.

fittedback

Framed, Fitted Back Panels

A wooden panel is framed and screwed into the back of each case for added strength and to eliminate racking. Pocket screws are used for easy access and removal of the floating top. Then we ad that extra step and completely finish the fitted back panel of each case piece in the same exact stain used on your masterpiece. At The Urban Collections, we do not take short cuts.

boltrail

Bed Rail And Slat Support

Each bed features a dovetailed, solid wood slat support system that rests in a cast-aluminum alloy fitted frame snugly. Each slat has a stained wooden support leveler underneath, and the entire support system is attached to 5/4″ solid rails that match the species and stain of your choice. This old-world technique provides stability and strength that will last a lifetime.
