About Us
Welcome to Maine Cedar Beds, where the timeless elegance of cedar meets the unmatched craftsmanship of Maine. Founded 30 years ago by Warren Benner, now a venerable 87-year-old, our business stands as a testament to enduring quality and family values. Located in the picturesque town of Hallowell, Maine, we are a family-operated business that has grown from a humble vision into a revered name in handcrafted cedar beds.
Our Founder's Journey
Warren Benner’s passion for woodworking began as a personal hobby, inspired by the rich natural beauty of Maine’s forests. His affinity for cedar, known for its durability and aromatic properties, led him to create his first cedar bed. This piece not only showcased his skill but also his commitment to creating furniture that lasts a lifetime. What started in a small workshop has now blossomed into Maine Cedar Beds, a symbol of quality and tradition.
Craftsmanship and Quality
At Maine Cedar Beds, each bed is a piece of art, meticulously handcrafted to perfection. Warren’s dedication to quality and detail has been passed down through generations. Our family members, skilled artisans in their own right, continue his legacy, combining traditional techniques with modern design sensibilities. Our cedar beds are not just furniture; they are heirlooms, embodying the spirit of Maine and the heart of our family.
