Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture

Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture Ruben Figueroa, who is the owner/manager of the Figueroa's Fine Custom Furniture, talks about how he was inspired to start his business and describes the inspiration that he uses to manage the team that works for him to produce every piece of fine furniture “I can remember, like it was yesterday, the woodshop at Saint Mary's Recreational Center across from where I lived growing up in Bronx, New York. One day I found myself exploring the Center and the smell of fresh cut woods from the shop was all it took to get me into a simple woodworking project and I have been hooked ever since! Taking woodshop classes, reading trade publications, and following this passion wherever it leads, has been an amazing and challenging journey. As a result, I have learned through experience how to produce a quality piece of furniture. In my opinion, a real craftsperson puts their heart and soul into each creation and this is truly evident in the items we create.
