Introducing Our Exclusive Veracruz Furniture Collection – Handcrafted Solid Cedar Wood Treasures for Your Home

Introducing Our Exclusive Veracruz Furniture Collection – Handcrafted Solid Cedar Wood Treasures for Your Home

Forrest Glover Design is proud to unveil our newest addition to the showroom and sourcing tours: an exclusive furniture line from Veracruz, handcrafted entirely from solid cedar wood by a family-run workshop deep in the Veracruz countryside.

This collection didn’t arrive by accident. In fact, so many of our clients were requesting high-quality cedar wood furniture that I—on one of my only recent days off—booked a last-minute flight to Veracruz, rented a car, and drove 2.5 hours through rolling hills, sugarcane fields, and lush tropical landscapes to meet the artisans in person. What I found was more than a furniture supplier; it was a family business preserving craftsmanship, tradition, and excellence in every piece they create.

Why Solid Cedar Wood?

When it comes to Mexican hardwood furniture, cedar is a timeless choice. Known for its durability, natural resistance to pests, and warm reddish tones, cedar has been used in fine furniture for centuries. Our Veracruz partners only use the best cuts of solid cedar (no veneers, no particle board), ensuring each piece has the strength to last for generations.

Benefits of solid cedar furniture:

  • Natural Beauty: Rich, warm tones that deepen with age.

  • Long-Lasting Durability: Solid wood construction means your furniture won’t warp or crack over time.

  • Pest Resistance: Cedar naturally deters moths and other insects.

The Veracruz Collection – Living, Dining, and Outdoor

The workshop specializes in handmade furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, terraces, and gardens—designed to be as functional as they are beautiful.

Highlights include:

  • Living Room Furniture: Sofas, armchairs, and occasional tables designed for comfort and elegance.

  • Dining Room Sets: Solid cedar dining tables paired with beautifully crafted chairs, perfect for family gatherings.

  • Bedroom Pieces: Sturdy cedar beds, dressers, and nightstands that transform bedrooms into warm, inviting retreats.

  • Terrace & Garden Furniture: Director’s chairs, chaise lounges, and outdoor dining sets that bring style and comfort to your exterior spaces.

Every item is made by hand, not mass-produced. Each design is tailored with creativity and originality in mind—exactly the qualities our clients seek for their luxury homes in Mexico and abroad.

The Artisans Behind the Craft

This isn’t just about furniture—it’s about people. The family I met in Veracruz started making furniture because they couldn’t find the perfect pieces for their own home. Over time, their passion for design, woodworking, and creating welcoming spaces turned into a full-time business. Today, they ship their cedar masterpieces all over Mexico, but every single piece still begins with their own hands in their small countryside workshop.

Their values match ours at Forrest Glover Design:

  • Creativity and Originality in every piece.

  • Speed and Precision without sacrificing quality.

  • Punctuality and respect for clients’ time.

  • Celebrating Excellence in craftsmanship.

  • Doing It All with a Smile—because furniture should bring joy.

Because we work directly with the family, our clients can customize dimensions, finishes, and designs to perfectly fit their home. Whether you’re furnishing a coastal villa in Puerto Vallarta, a colonial home in San Miguel de Allende, or a modern apartment in Guadalajara, these pieces adapt beautifully to any style.

You can:

  • Select Your Finish: From natural cedar to deep, rich stains.

  • Modify Dimensions: Perfect for unique spaces or built-in looks.

And because we manage the entire process—from design consultation to delivery—you’ll enjoy a stress-free experience that ensures your new cedar furniture arrives on time, in perfect condition, and ready to use.

Bringing Veracruz Craftsmanship to Your Home

We believe furniture should be more than functional—it should tell a story. This new Veracruz solid cedar furniture line tells a story of family, tradition, and artistry. Each piece carries the warmth of the tropics, the strength of solid wood, and the authenticity of Mexican craftsmanship.

If you’ve been searching for luxury handcrafted furniture in Mexico that blends beauty, durability, and heritage, our Veracruz Collection might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
