Calgary, Alberta · Shopify shop

Solomon and Marissa McCann build made-to-order solid hardwood furniture in a home wood shop just north of Calgary: dining tables from the $3,465 Wrenley up to the $6,015 Empire, Lida and Maia coffee tables, the Soleil cabinet, Hygge and Soleil nightstands and the $4,530 Kaden bedframe, each cut from red oak, maple, ash, white oak or black walnut, stained to the buyer's choice, on a ten to fourteen week lead time.

Out Of The Woodwork's dining tables, coffee tables and cabinets are other wooden furniture under HTS 9403.60.80, and its bedframes and nightstands are wooden bedroom furniture under HTS 9403.50.90; both lines sit on the CBP Section 338 list carrying a 50% additional duty in effect since August 22, 2026. The McCanns' FAQ says "because we are a small, custom company we do ship to the USA however customs broker fees are at the expense to the client as well as shipping / crating costs which can range from approx $2500-$4500 depending on the piece", so a $4,530 Kaden bedframe crossing to an American buyer now carries roughly $2,265 in duty on top of the price, the crating and the broker fees.
