- About Me -

At MQ Woodworking, we specialize in handcrafted, custom furniture designed to bring timeless beauty and functionality into your home. Based in Chicago, we focus on modern and mid-century-inspired designs, with a passion for creating high-quality record cabinets, dining tables, and one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to your needs.

I’m Mike, the designer and craftsman behind the business. My journey into woodworking started as a childhood passion—building projects with my dad and grandfather. Years later, what began as a small DIY project quickly grew into a full-fledged craft. With just a few basic tools, I built my first furniture pieces, and soon, friends and family began requesting custom work.

Over the years, I’ve honed my skills, expanded my workshop, and refined my design approach. Today, I take pride in blending traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, ensuring every piece is built with precision, durability, and style. Whether you’re looking for a custom-built statement piece or a timeless addition to your home, my goal is to create furniture that is both functional and beautiful.

I believe that great furniture tells a story—let’s create something meaningful together.
