01 — Families
Four families, one language.
Everything grows out of the same few parts: solid wood, bent and welded steel, details finished by hand. You choose the size, the wood and the finish.
02 — Selected
On the bench right now
Every model is drawn in standard sizes — and every one can be made to yours.
03 — Material
Two materials. One moves, one holds.
Solid wood breathes: it swells in damp weather, shrinks when it dries and changes color over the years. Steel stays put. When we join them we leave the wood room to move — slotted holes, adjustable fixings.

Slim sections, solid build
A frame that would need to be chunky in wood shrinks to a few centimeters in steel. The table looks light and doesn’t wobble.
- 02
Repairable
Tops can be sanded and re-oiled, steel can be recoated. Ten years on it can still be brought back.
- 03
Comes apart
Legs bolt on, so moving house, narrow stairs and small lifts are not a problem.
04 — Process
How a piece gets made
Six steps from sketch to box. All in the same workshop.
- 01
Sketch
The idea, the size, the room. We talk it through on paper first.
- 02
Drawing
Every joint and hole is dimensioned. Nothing is cut until you sign off.
- 03
Cutting
Boards are picked, acclimatized and cut; steel tube and sheet are cut to size.
- 04
Welding & joinery
Steel is welded and ground; wood is glued up, flattened and sanded.
- 05
Finishing
Hard wax oil for the wood; powder coat, blackening or brushing for the steel. Layer by layer, by hand.
- 06
Packing
Corners protected, parts labeled, fixings in the box.
05 — Custom
Your size, our hands.
Every model in the collection is a starting point. We adapt it to your room, your team or your ceiling height.

About custom orders06 — Trade

Trade program07 — Workshop
A small workshop. A big bench.
UPVOTERED is a small team working wood and steel under one roof. The people who draw a piece also cut, weld and oil it — so we know every one of them from start to finish.

Why wood and steel? Two materials that cover for each other
Wood moves, steel stays put. A short note on why we pair them, how to join them so the wood can breathe, and the honest downsides.

Daily cleaning, water rings, heat, seasonal movement and re-oiling: a short, honest guide to keeping a solid wood table in good shape for years.
09 — Questions
In short
01There’s no cart. How do I order?
Pick a model and its options (size, wood, steel finish) and send the quote form. We reply with a price and a delivery date; once you confirm, we start making it.
02Why aren’t prices on the site?
Every piece is priced on its size, wood and finish, so a single number would be misleading. We send an itemized quote within two business days.
03Can I change the size?
Yes. Standard sizes are a starting point; width, depth and height can follow your room. If there are structural limits, we’ll say so in the quote.
04How long does it take to make?
Typically 8–10 weeks for tables, 6–8 weeks for shelving, 4–6 weeks for lamps and 3–4 weeks for small objects, counted from the deposit. Your quote gives a firm date.
05Do you ship outside the US?
In Greater Boston we deliver and set up ourselves. Elsewhere in the contiguous US pieces travel blanket-wrapped or crated with a white-glove freight carrier. Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and overseas on request. Delivery is always quoted separately.
Tell us about the piece you have in mind.
A short note is enough. Send a size, a room, or just a photo — we’ll come back with a drawing and a price.
