Chances are if you have lived in our community for any length of time you are familiar with the amazing creations of local manufacturer, Precision Rustic Furniture. And now owners Sean and Kristi Bradshaw and Dan Garayalde are bringing those creations to their own storefront in downtown Coeur d’Alene. Mill River Rustic Furniture opened its doors on March 1 to the delight of many.
“We’ve been a wholesale manufacturer selling to local retailers for approximately 20 years,” said Kristi Bradshaw.
Their products at Mill River Rustic Furniture include more than their signature rustic style furniture, they also carry mattresses, custom bedding as well as items to decorate your homes.
“We are the factory, which allows us to tailor our products to the individual and provide that next level of customer service,” explained Kristi of the benefits of purchasing direct from the manufacturer. “We can also build custom pieces for customers and help them with designs.”
So why choose handcrafted furniture? The fact is that each piece is unique and can never be replicated by commercially made furniture companies. And if you want to have several pieces of handcrafted furniture that complement and reflect the same style, you will connect the rooms in your home offering a uniqueness and style that is all your own. To best achieve this, it is best to work in collaboration with the designer.
With the addition of accessories in their store, the staff at Mill River Rustic Furniture has the capacity to assist people with designing their space beyond choosing their furniture pieces. “It helps them complete their look,” said Kristi. In choosing the accessories they wish to carry, they travel to market where they hand select the pieces that are only of the highest quality and complement those furniture pieces that they produce. They have wall hangings, mirrors, candles, pillows, clocks, lamps and much more to give you the look you desire.
From reclaimed barn wood coffee tables to complete custom handcrafted bedroom sets, Mill River Rustic Furniture has something for everyone. And if they don’t, they’ll create it!
To purchase something of this quality ensures it will last long after the kids have moved out and the grandkids come to visit. The durability of the wood and craftsmanship provide a piece that will last for generations – a treasure to be passed on through the years.
The three owners are connected and invested in the place they call home. Sean moved here in 1997 after having visited his grandparents in the Silver Valley over the years. Kristi lived here as a child for a few years, and the beauty and friendliness of the community beckoned her return in 1996. Dan Garayalde is a lifelong resident of Coeur d’Alene and has no intention of leaving – the effect this place has on many.
The fact they have been producing quality furniture for two decades is a testimony to not only their craftsmanship, but also the level of customer service they provide. “We build a quality product that we can stand behind coupled with exceptional customer service,” said Kristi. “ These things are backed by a great crew of employees that help us to do this.”
