About Us
We Make Furniture.
You Make It Yours.
Real wood. Zero tools. Built by hand in San Diego. Left unfinished so your story shows.
We Started With a Simple Question
Why does furniture come pre-finished in a color someone else picked? Why does it need 47 screws, an Allen wrench, and a weekend to put together? And why does it fall apart the moment you move?
UNFNSHED was born from the belief that furniture should work differently. Every piece we make assembles in under two minutes with zero tools, uses real plywood instead of particleboard, and ships unfinished — so the final look is entirely up to you.
Real Plywood, Not Particle Board
We use furniture-grade plywood — the same material that goes into speaker cabinets, skate ramps, and museum exhibits. Cross-laminated veneers at alternating 90-degree angles. It doesn't warp. It doesn't sag. It holds joints better than anything else on the market.
You can sand it, stain it, paint it, or leave it raw. However you finish it, the bones are solid.
"Every one of us is born with a drive to create — to shape the world around us. We just make the canvas. You make it yours."Abdel Ibrahim, Founder
Two Minutes. Zero Tools. Every Time.
Our interlocking joint system means no screws, no cam locks, no Allen wrenches. Slide the pieces together and you're done. A kid can do it — and they do, as you can see.
This isn't just about convenience. Tool-free assembly means you can take it apart just as easily. Moving across the country? Flat-pack it, ship it, rebuild it in two minutes. Your furniture survives as many moves as you do.
Unfinished on Purpose
We ship every piece raw. No factory paint. No mystery coatings. No off-gassing chemicals. Just clean wood, ready for whatever you dream up.
Stain it walnut for a mid-century look. Chalk-paint it for a farmhouse vibe. Let your kids color it with markers. Or leave it exactly as it is — the natural grain is beautiful on its own. Your space, your rules.
This Is What You've Built
Same furniture, a thousand different stories. Here's proof that "unfinished" is just the beginning.
What We Stand On
Our interlocking joint system means no hardware, no frustration, no stripped screws.
94% of our customers leave five stars. We earn trust one piece at a time.
We cut, sand, and pack every order ourselves. No overseas factories. No middlemen.
Slide the pieces together and you're done. Take them apart just as easily when you move.
Small Workshop. No Shortcuts.
We're not a warehouse operation. Every piece of UNFNSHED furniture is cut on a CNC machine, hand-sanded, quality-checked, and packed by a small team right here in San Diego.
That short supply chain means fewer emissions, less waste, and direct quality control. If a sheet of plywood doesn't meet our standards, it never becomes a product. Simple as that.
