It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Joseph Robichaud, father of Wood You Build It founder, Justin Robichaud. ❤️

Fourteen years ago, Joe was part of the inspiration behind starting Wood You Build It. He was there from the very beginning, even tagging along for our maiden delivery trip.

Simply put, without him, there would be no Wood You Build It.

I’ve always tried to keep my personal life separate from the business, but this felt important to share because, in many ways, my father’s influence is woven into what Wood You Build It has always stood for.

There is a reason we’ve never sold out to retail stores or tried to remove ourselves from the people who buy our furniture. We’ve always valued the personal connection that comes from building something for a family and delivering it directly into their home.

Behind every order is a story. Behind every delivery is a family, a home, a milestone, or a memory being made.

We know we aren’t curing cancer. We build furniture. But more often than not, that furniture ends up right in the middle of the kitchen, the place where families gather, friends pull up a chair, holidays are celebrated, stories are told, and life happens around one of our kitchen islands.

That personal connection has always mattered to me.

And now, perhaps more than ever, I understand exactly why.

My father helped inspire this little idea 14 years ago, and his legacy will forever be a part of Wood You Build It.

So today, I wanted to break my own rule about mixing the personal with the business and introduce you to one of the people who helped make all of this possible.

Thank you, Dad. ❤️

Your fingerprints will forever be on everything we’ve built.

Thank you, Angelina, for such an incredible review! ❤️

It’s customers like you who remind me why we do what we do. We’re a tiny crew that works tirelessly to help transform kitchens one handcrafted piece of furniture at a time.

Knowing that you appreciate not only the finished product, but also the work, travel, and personal service that goes into getting it into your home truly means more than you know.

Thank you for trusting Wood You Build It to be a part of your home. Your island looks absolutely beautiful! 🙏❤️

Let’s just have this kitchen island speak for itself!

07/22/2026

This kitchen island wasn’t supposed to be riding to Indiana in my wife’s SUV.

My truck’s engine decided it had other plans, but my customer has already waited long enough.

So this morning I was up at 3:00 a.m. loading a handcrafted kitchen island into my wife’s SUV and heading halfway across the country.

Running a small business isn’t always glamorous. It’s early mornings, unexpected setbacks, long drives, and figuring things out one challenge at a time. But when someone trusts us to build a piece that’s going to become part of their home for generations to come, I take that responsibility seriously.

Today isn’t about a kitchen island. It’s about keeping a promise.

Swipe to the end to see how we’re making this delivery happen.

Come along for the journey as I make the trip to Indiana and back. I’ll be sharing updates throughout the drive, and hopefully we’ll have another beautiful kitchen island safely delivered where it belongs.

I’d love to hear from you. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever had to do just to keep your word?

Reviews like this never get old. ❤️

This is exactly why we do what we do.

To everyone who has trusted us with a place in your home…THANK YOU. Your support means more than you know.

Not all islands belong in the kitchen. 👀

This customer needed additional storage and workspace in their bathroom, so we built a custom island designed specifically for the space.

✔️ Four large drawers for storage
✔️ Open shelving for towels and everyday essentials
✔️ Solid butcher block top
✔️ Built by hand and made to fit their needs
✔️ Open area for a laundry basket or even a makeup chair

One of the things we love most is showing customers that custom furniture doesn’t have to fit inside a box. Kitchen islands, bathroom islands, laundry room stations, coffee bars, mudroom storage, etc. If you can dream it, we can build it.

What room in your home could use a custom island?

Important Shipping Update

Over the years, Wood You Build It has absorbed hundreds of thousands of dollars in delivery costs in an effort to make handcrafted furniture more accessible for our customers. While we recently introduced a voluntary shipping contribution program, the reality is that the cost of personally delivering large furniture pieces across the country continues to rise.

Effective immediately, we will no longer be accepting standard orders west of the Mississippi River through our free delivery program.

Customers located west of the Mississippi are still welcome to place an order by contacting us directly for a third-party freight quote. Depending on the item and location, shipping typically ranges from approximately $300–$2,000 (That’s not a typo. We’ve even had a few quotes over $3000 just to ship one piece.) However, the goal is to try our hardest to keep it under $600 for you though.

As a small family-owned business, we simply can no longer absorb these costs while maintaining the quality, craftsmanship, and service our customers expect.

We sincerely appreciate the support of our customers and look forward to continuing to serve you the best that we can.

🚨 BIG NEWS FROM WOOD YOU BUILD IT 🚨

We’re officially introducing a brand new option on many of our handcrafted kitchen islands…
👉 Purchase your island WITHOUT the butcher block top and SAVE BIG.

Why are we doing this? Simple.
Butcher block tops have become harder to source, more expensive, and they add a significant amount of labor, fabrication, sanding, packaging, and shipping weight. By offering our islands “base only,” we can pass those savings directly on to YOU while also speeding up production times.

This gives customers the opportunity to:
✔️ Save hundreds
✔️ Customize their own countertop locally
✔️ Receive their island faster
✔️ Still get the same handcrafted Wood You Build It quality

And for anyone wondering…yes, we can STILL provide the butcher block top if requested. This is simply a new option designed to give customers more flexibility and better pricing.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to purchase one of our kitchen islands… this might be it. 👀

At Wood You Build It, we aren’t just furniture makers. We’re problem solvers.

When a customer has a smaller kitchen but still loves to entertain, that’s when we’re at our best. We focus on finding the perfect balance between functionality, seating, storage, and style, all while making our customers’ dream spaces become reality.

Handcrafted. Custom built. Hand delivered.

05/09/2026

At Wood You Build It, we want to clarify something that many people may not fully understand about how our company operates.

We personally deliver our furniture across the country. We do not place your handmade furniture on a random freight truck and hope for the best. We do not leave your investment on a curb. We coordinate, load, transport, and deliver these pieces ourselves because we genuinely care about what arrives at your home.

What many don’t realize is that “free shipping” is not actually free to us. In fact, shipping large handmade furniture is extremely expensive. The only way we can even remotely justify continuing to offer free delivery is by grouping deliveries together by region and building routes accordingly. That means timing can vary from case to case depending on where customers are located and how routes line up.

If someone needs guaranteed expedited delivery within a very specific timeframe, that option absolutely exists, but the customer would need to cover the actual shipping costs themselves. Depending on location, we regularly see shipping quotes ranging anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $3,000 just for shipping alone.

We understand waiting can be frustrating. Trust us, nobody wants these pieces out of our shop and into your homes more than we do. But we also believe many customers don’t realize the amount of money, time, coordination, fuel, labor, and care that goes into personally delivering handcrafted furniture nationwide.

We are a real mom-and-pop manufacturing company, not a mass-production warehouse. Every order is handmade, and every customer matters to us.

All we ask is for a little understanding and respect for the level of service we are providing. We are going above and beyond to save our customers thousands of dollars while also ensuring their furniture arrives safely and personally delivered by our own team.

In some instances, this old-school approach may take more time, but we still believe it’s worth it.
