Bucktown Built - From Corporate to Carpenter

Jerry Rodman founded Bucktown Built after 20 years working for companies like Hewlett Packard, Lenovo, and Amazon Web Services. He traded in his suit for work boots and is very familiar with how most offices work.

Bucktown Built is not a large company that pumps out products, but a team of 3 craftspeople and a dog who create affordable, well-built, solid wood live edge tables. Jerry works on every piece that goes through the shop and engages with every client.

Bucktown Built manufactures every solid wood conference table in our Chicago shop.

Elevate Your Office

A solid wood live edge conference table isn't just a piece of furniture; it's a statement. Imagine walking into a conference room where a beautifully crafted, natural wood table takes center stage. Its edges, untouched by machinery, showcase the raw, organic beauty of the wood, each curve and knot telling a story of nature's craftsmanship.

For employees, such a table can transform the dynamics of meetings. It creates an environment that feels less sterile and more inviting, fostering creativity and collaboration. The natural texture and warmth of the wood can make meetings feel less formal and more relaxed, encouraging open dialogue and idea-sharing. Employees might find themselves more engaged and inspired in such a setting, leading to more productive discussions and better decision-making.

Moreover, a custom solid wood table sends a powerful message to clients and visitors. It speaks of your company's commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. It shows that you value your employees and are willing to invest in creating an environment that reflects your company's ethos. Clients entering a room with such a striking centerpiece are likely to be impressed and feel confident in your professionalism and dedication

What is the process?

Creating custom solid wood conference tables involves several steps to ensure the final product meets your specific needs and reflects your desired aesthetic. Here’s a step-by-step process.

Step 1: Define Requirements and contact us

  • Gather Requirements: Determine the size, shape, and functionality required for your conference table.

    • We can help you size your table with CAD. You’ll need to be about 3 feet from the nearest object, be it a wall or a TV.

    • How many pieces will the table be? Elevators in major cities are usually around 9 feet. That can provide some challenges with logistics for an 18 foot Conference Table. We can help you overcome those during our design phase by creating multi-part conference tables that assemble onsite and look like a single live edge slab.

    • Consider seating capacity, power outlets, cable management needs, and any specific design elements (such as materials, colors, or finishes).

    • What is your budget? Did you know darker woods are more expensive or that some North American Woods cost 3x the price of a South American wood? We can help you design a table that fits your budget.

Step 2: Quote

  • Once we get your requirements via phone, email, or Live Chat we will provide you with a cost range, timeline, and contract.

  • We request a 50% deposit to begin the Design Process. The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the project to schedule delivery.

Step 3: Design & Communication

  • You will be able to select wood from a variety of different species, power options, and table-bases.

  • We utilize an industrial-grade spray finish and do not use any Oil Based wipe on products for conference tables due to durability concerns.

  • Once we establish the design, we will create a 3D model of your conference table with the exact piece of wood we are proposing. You will be able to see a to-scale version of your room with the table in it.

  • We are able to provide finished samples to clients.

  • Jerry heads all client communication and you will receive his personal cell phone, text him at any hour, this is his passion. Give it a try 773-302-1388.

Step 4: Fabrication

  • Generally speaking, depending upon the time of year it takes us about 8-12 weeks to create a single conference. (Note if you do need something faster, we do have an expedite service and are able to turn around some requests as quickly as 6 weeks).

  • We will provide you with updates through the process via text message or email.

  • If you are local to Chicago, please, please visit us. We love having clients by our shop.

Step 5: Client Approval and Feedback

  • Once we have completed fabrication of your conference table, we will schedule an onsite viewing or remote viewing via Zoom or Teams.

  • We will take you through table in its fully assembled state so you can see every detail.

  • Once you are happy with the Live Edge Conference Table, we will collect the final 50% payment.

Step 8: Installation and Delivery

  • We have conference tables from San Francisco to Boston and have a variety of different options for installation and delivery.

    • Self-Installation: Our tables custom built for your office and designed to be easy to assemble.

    • Onsite: Jerry will fly out to your location and with the help of local movers assemble the table.
