About Us
Hi, I'm Nathan Harrison.
Here's how this all started: I was working as a cabinetmaker in 2008, and a client wanted a special custom drawer organizer built for their kitchen. They had seen what they wanted in one of the big box stores, but the store only had the organizer in a few sizes. To get a custom fit, I built the client a copy of one of these organizers. It looked wonderful, and the client was pleased.
About a month later, when I followed up with the client to make sure everything was still satisfactory, I was surprised to find him less than happy. The configuration of the compartments (designed by a leading cabinet manufacturer and sold as their “top of the line” product) was not laid out well. And all compartments were the same width - too much room for many utensils, but not enough for others. I was told, “If you could find some way to make this thing adjustable, that would be great.”
So, to the drawing board and the shop I went. The Classic Maple Custom Insert was born.
We (referring here to my family, each member of which has made important contributions) have grown our product line steadily over the years since, but we are still small, and we like it that way. I answer calls and emails myself and it makes me smile when I see that a previous customer sent a new order to us.
