Suter's is guided by our mission to: build furniture that celebrates the natural beauty of wood; continue the lost art of fine woodworking by building furniture that is crafted to withstand the test of time.

As builders of fine furniture we continue the teachings of woodworking passed through from our own master craftsman, Daniel Suter . In the early 1800's, a young Daniel Suter left his rich and beautiful village of Kolliken, Switzerland for new opportunities in America. As a skilled Mennonite Cabinetmaker and carpenter, he followed the Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia, settling in Rockingham County, the heart of the Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.   Daniel drew heavily from the popular English furniture found in the fine cabinet shops of Philadelphia, Williamsburg, Charleston and other early centers for the decorative arts. 

What really distinguishes us is the excellence in our craft. The Suter reputation for extraordinary workmanship has spread far beyond the Shenandoah Valley where we live and work. 

Today, there are only 10 craftsmen in our workshop who fashion their functional art from from cherry, mahogany and walnut.  All sustainable bequests and harvested with care.
Although, when harvested with care, it is vital the pieces we make from this wood last at least as long as it took the tree to grow.  We guarantee our pieces will last a lifetime.
