Handmade in Columbus, Ohio
Cantilever
The T.Y. Fine Furniture Cantilever Collection represents our most beloved handcrafted solid wood furniture designs, celebrated for their unique floating aesthetic and exceptional engineering that balances visual lightness with remarkable strength.
Each design has been rigorously tested to withstand 200 pounds, proving that beautiful handcrafted furniture can be both a striking design statement and exceptionally sturdy for daily use. The cantilever construction requires precise mortise and tenon joinery, expert wood selection for optimal grain strength, and meticulous attention to balance and weight distribution—ensuring these seemingly delicate pieces provide rock-solid stability and durability that lasts generations.
Finished with our proprietary eco-friendly, zero-VOC organic oils and waxes, these non-toxic furnishings promote exceptional indoor air quality while allowing the natural hardwood to breathe and develop a rich patina over time—perfect for health-conscious homes where you want furniture that's as safe as it is stunning. The hand-applied finish enhances each wood species' unique grain patterns and natural character, celebrating the organic beauty of real solid wood.

Our Craft Philosophy
The Difference Is in the Details
Every T.Y. piece is the result of deliberate choices — from the trees we source to the finish we apply by hand. Open any section below to see what goes into furniture built to outlive us.
Every piece is built by hand in our Columbus, Ohio workshop using 100% solid hardwood— no veneers, no particle board, no MDF. We source from naturally fallen Ohio trees and regional sawmills that properly kiln-dry and cure their lumber. The result is furniture built to outlast everything.
We developed our signature finish with Dr. Ahmed Yousef, a food scientist at Ohio State University. It uses food-grade oils and waxes with zero VOC emissions — no off-gassing, no harmful chemicals, no synthetic lacquers. Safe for bedrooms, nurseries, and every room in the house. Easy to maintain, impossible to replicate off a shelf.
Our founder Tarik Yousef brought an engineering background from Honda to furniture design. Every joint is calculated for structural load, not just aesthetics. We use traditional mortise and tenon joinery reinforced with stainless steel dowels in our solid wood construction. No pocket screws. No cam locks. Ever.
Mass-produced furniture is designed to be replaced. Ours is designed to be inherited. Bed slats bolt in to eliminate squeaks. Drawer slides are soft-close. When something is built this well, it only gets better with age — and we back that with a lifetime structural guarantee.
Because every piece is built in our Columbus workshop, we accommodate custom dimensions, wood species, and design modifications. Need it 2 inches shorter or sized for an awkward wall? We build to your specifications. Four Ohio hardwood species available: Cherry, Walnut, Maple, and White Oak. Contact us to discuss your project →
