Unique designs, premium hardwoods, artisan craftsmanship and attention to detail - our handcrafted custom tables are made to last for a lifetime of memories.
2018 - ESTABLISHED
In the beginning.
In 2017, an aspiration to build a simple farm table for my family evolved into a chance to extend that craftsmanship to other family members and friends. Building trust with each project, I gradually gained confidence in my skills.
In early 2018, my dad and I formally introduced Great Lakes Farmhouse. Originating as a small-scale custom table workshop with a local Michigan focus, it blossomed into a hub for premium, hardwood farm tables. Our clientele expanded beyond state borders, with customers ordering directly from our website. Today, our tables adorn homes across America.

2024 - INTRODUCING
House of Timber
With the demand for our handcrafted custom tables growing nationwide and our first showroom, located in beautiful South Carolina, slated to open in late 2025, we've decided it's time for a fresh new name! House of Timber, our newly rebranded custom table company, embodies the essence of craftsmanship and elegance. Specializing in crafting custom tables that seamlessly blend with modern, farmhouse, and traditional aesthetics alike, we take pride in sourcing the finest timber to create unique, high-end tables tailored to our clients' needs. Our rebranding reflects a commitment to sustainability, timeless design, and the intricate artistry of woodworking. With a refreshed identity, House of Timber will gradually be expanding our furniture collection, offering pieces that transform spaces and inspire lasting beauty.
Although our name has changed, we are still the same trusted, family-owned team located in Michigan, that has been handcrafting tables for your families since 2018. House of Timber is more than just a fresh rebrand—it’s a continuation of the next chapter in our exciting story.

OUR ROOTS
Father & son.
Hello, I'm David Zupec, both the owner and furniture designer behind our craft. My fascination with woodworking dates back to my childhood, a passion that has only deepened over the years. The entire process of conceptualizing, milling, and shaping raw wood into exquisite, custom made furniture holds a special place in my heart.
My dad, a retired engineer and a seasoned craftsman, stands as my enduring inspiration and biggest supporter throughout this venture. During my early years, I was a constant presence by his side, absorbing the intricacies of his work in his workshop. Over the years, he has crafted numerous beautiful pieces of furniture, adorning our home and creating cherished pieces for my mother.
TRADITION
Faith & family.
Raised in the Catholic faith, our home has always centered around the importance of Jesus and family. Evenings were devoted to gathering around the dining table, sharing meals, and uniting as a family to grow, give thanks, and bond. This belief underscores our conviction that our tables are more than mere furniture—they are the heart of the home.
When crafting a custom table, our aim goes beyond creating a beautiful piece for a house. We aspire to instill a sense of inspiration for families to frequent the table, to extend invitations, to share their hearts, and to create lasting memories filled with laughter and love. The table, for us, symbolizes unity and the making of cherished moments. It is this vision that motivates us daily as we construct these pieces in our workshop.
We hope House of Timber can be a part of your family's story.
– David Zupec, Owner and Furniture Designer
