William Olsen Designs makes custom cabinetry in Phoenix, OR, with the eye of a fine furniture maker. Cherry drawers are joined with exposed dovetails, woods are picked for their figure, and built-ins are designed around the room they will live in.
One family has four large built-ins from William and says visitors admire them every time. Another client commissioned a dining table in Chinese elm and English walnut, plus a cherry blossom triptych for the wall behind it.
She is honest that his prices may be a bit more than average, and just as clear that the one-of-a-kind result is worth it.
