Creative Metal and Wood's story began in Brooklyn, NY and the year was 1954 when two craftsmen founded Creative Metal Products, Inc. They put their talents to forge iron and brass to work in order to supply Cocktail Tables, Bakers Racks, and Chairs for the New York City carriage trade of Lord & Taylor, B. Altman, And Bloomingdales. From these humble beginnings evolved the family owned and operated Creative Metal & Wood, Inc. The factory is no longer in Brooklyn; in fact, after a move across the Hudson River in 1964, New Jersey became home for a 27 year stretch until 1991. It was then that the decision was made and the factory equipment, personnel, and materials were moved to our current and permanent home into the heart of furniture country, Thomasville, North Carolina.
