Alright Seattle, let’s talk about something important—summer. That short, magical window where the rain finally backs off, the temperature creeps above 70, and we collectively decide, “You know what? Let’s live outside now.”
It’s BBQs, bare feet on warm decks, iced coffee that stays cold without effort, and the neighbors suddenly remembering how to smile. But let me ask you—what’s your backyard situation looking like?
If your outdoor space is still rocking that one busted plastic chair, a rusty grill, and furniture that looks like it came from a garage sale you didn’t even want to stop at... it’s time for an upgrade.
You don’t need more stuff—you need better stuff. Intentional stuff. You need custom wood furniture that takes your backyard from “eh” to “everyone’s hangout spot.”
Welcome to Stedman Design, where we craft custom wood furniture so beautiful, your backyard might just start throwing its own parties.
Let’s be real: Seattle gets three—maybe four—solid months of outdoor living. So why waste that time sitting on something you’re scared to lean back in?
You need something that holds you, hugs you, supports your dreams, and maybe even makes your neighbors a little jealous.
We’re talking:
Custom wood benches that look like sculpture but feel like comfort
Gorgeous live edge tables perfect for family dinners under the stars
Sleek, functional outdoor bars that make summer cocktails feel extra classy
This isn’t just about furniture. This is about creating a vibe, a sanctuary, a space that makes people go, “Dang, is this your yard?”
Listen, custom wood furniture isn’t just for rich people with fancy zip codes. It’s for people who care about quality, beauty, and not having the same backyard setup as everyone else on the block.
At Stedman Design, custom means:
✅ Built for Your Space – Got a cozy backyard in Ballard? A big deck in Beacon Hill? A tiny urban patio in Capitol Hill? We design to fit your lifestyle.
✅ Built for Your Style – Whether you’re into modern minimalism, rustic charm, or “PNW chic” (yes, it’s a thing), we build to match your aesthetic.
✅ Built to Last – Rain? No problem. Sun? Let’s go. This isn’t particle board pretending to be grown-up. This is real wood, sealed for the elements, and crafted with love.
You want a table that looks like it came out of an art gallery but can still handle a tray of ribs and a bowl of potato salad? Live edge is where it’s at. It’s natural. It’s bold. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and “I built this deck myself” energy.
Simple, stylish, and crazy functional. Great around the firepit, under a tree, or just posted up on the patio. Plus, you’ll never have to deal with cushions blowing away in the wind again.
You ever serve lemonade off a bar top so smooth it makes your hand feel fancier? You will. We’ll build one that fits your layout, your party size, and your cocktail dreams. Summer happy hour starts here.
Plant stands. Side tables. Chill little corner nooks that look like they came from a magazine. Let us craft the details that make your outdoor space feel intentional.
We live in a beautiful, moody, green jungle that demands versatility. Our weather keeps us on our toes, and our style reflects that.
That’s why our furniture is made with:
Weather-resistant finishes
Sustainable, locally sourced wood
Joinery that won’t flinch at a little moisture
And the kind of attention to detail you usually only see in high-end furniture showrooms (minus the pretentious price tag)
You’re getting craftsmanship that doesn’t flinch when the clouds roll in.
Let’s say you’re hosting a summer hang:
You got burgers sizzling
Guests are vibing
The sun’s setting just right
And the only thing clashing with the mood is that creaky old plastic chair that makes weird sounds when someone shifts their weight
It’s time to let that chair go.
Replace it with a gorgeous cedar bench, a walnut bar, or a live edge table that says, “We do things different here.”
Trust us: people remember the food, sure. But they talk about the space.
We’re not here to mass-produce. We’re here to collaborate, design, and build pieces that matter.
Every item we create is:
Handcrafted in Washington
Built to order, not built in bulk
Made with sustainable wood and zero shortcuts
Designed to last season after season after season
We work with you to understand your space, your needs, and your style. Then we get to work, creating something that transforms your backyard into the kind of place you don’t want to leave—unless it’s just to grab more ice.
Seattle, you don’t need to fly to some tropical resort to get summer vibes. You just need a space that feels like yours.
So whether you’re the host with the most or the chill neighbor with a lowkey patio oasis, we’re ready to help you create your dream outdoor space—with custom wood furniture that’s beautiful, functional, and uniquely you.
