Our furniture gallery in upstate PA allows our potential clients the oppertunity to see and touch the real deal before deciding to make a purchase. Feel the smooth motion of soft-closing self-close slides, see the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship.

We have two beautiful space saving Queen size Murphy Beds on display. One is Walnut, the other is Ash, both constructed from sustainably harvested Pennsylvania lumber, with crown molding and stunning paneled fronts and sides, using state of the art piston hardware (10 year warranty on hardware). The pulls are crafted of matching wood. Interiors and headboards are painted Benjamin Moore’s Wickham Gray.

Thinking about adding a wallbed to your home? Come and check these fantastic beds out!

Mattress not included- but will fit any Queen mattress less than 12″ thick. The dimensions on these beds are 94″ tall x 67″ wide x 17 1/4″ deep. When opened they extend 84″ from the wall.

N.B. The Walnut Bed now resides happily in Chelsea, NYC. We still have the Ash one on display and can build new Murphy Beds in Walnut or other woods. Send a note if you’re interested!

New Shop in Full Swing

view from the shop

Since the beginning of this year, we’ve been taking advantage of our new larger shop space. We welcomed a full time employee and with that the capacity to take on more work, and bigger jobs.

You are invited to come and visit the new shop! Come and see what we’re working on. Tell us about your plans, admire the old machines, see the works in progress, and raw materials.

Regular hours are between 8 am and 11:45 before lunch, and 12:30 to 4:30 pm after the lunch break, Monday through Friday. Please call or email first if you’re able to so we can help you with directions. The shop is located at 367 Mossville Road, Benton, PA 17814 at the site of the former Bonham Sawmill (in the darker brown building farther from the road).

We’re in the Northwest corner of Luzerne County,  just south of Red Rock, PA, near the gorgeous Rickett’s Glen State Park. If you’ve never been there, it is worth the trip from anywhere – 22 waterfalls, great hiking, enormous trees, camping, boating, etc.

Can’t make the trip but want to discuss your project? We welcome material to bid any time. Send your sketch, inspiration photos, dimensions, whatever you have to  SpringhouseWoodshop(at)gmail.com or call us 570-864-3956 or 570-606-8737.

Our plan for our old one room schoolhouse is to (re)open it as a store with limited hours where we will offer original solid wood furniture for sale. The pieces will also be available to purchase online, anytime.

We look forward to hearing from you!
