Written By Timothy Vickery

Looking for a handcrafted dining table that’s as timeless as your favorite memories? At Vickery Elam & Co., we specialize in custom-made, solid wood furniture built right here in Central Indiana. Whether you’re dreaming of a modern farmhouse table, a traditional X-base design, or something entirely your own, we make the ordering process smooth, personal, and exciting.

Here’s how it works—from your first idea to final delivery.

1. Start the Conversation

Ordering begins with a conversation. Send us a message or request a quote to get started. You don’t need to know all the details—we’ll help you explore options and walk you through styles, finishes, and functionality. Whether it’s a solid oak dining table, a walnut epoxy river table, or a full dining set with benches and chairs, we’ll help bring your vision to life.

2. Choose Your Design

You can choose from our popular styles like The Hoosier Heirloom or The Hamilton, or work with us to design something one-of-a-kind. Customize the:

  • Size (from cozy round tables to 10-foot farmhouse showstoppers)

  • Wood species (Ash, Walnut, White Oak, and more)

  • Finish (clean, distressed, painted, or stained)

  • Base (trestle, turned leg, spider-style steel base)

Each piece is built from sustainably sourced hardwood—no particle board, no shortcuts.

3. Finalize the Details

Once the design is locked in, we’ll give you a clear, itemized quote. A 50% deposit secures your place on our build calendar. We’ll review lead times and keep you updated throughout the process. .

4. Handmade in Central Indiana

Your piece is crafted by hand in our Central Indiana studio by skilled artisans. From slab selection to sanding and finishing, we build every piece with care, intention, and unmatched attention to detail. This is heirloom furniture built to last a lifetime.

We specialize in:

  • Custom dining tables

  • Matching benches and seating

  • Epoxy River tables

  • Built-ins, mantels, and accent walls

5. White Glove Delivery

When your piece is complete, we’ll schedule your free white glove delivery and setup. We bring your furniture into your home and install it in the room of your choice—no curbside drop-offs here. Want to learn more about delivery and installation? We've got you covered.
