Al’s Woodcraft – Wood Furniture Tustin

If you want a sturdy solid wood furniture, this is the place you should go! They don’t have like IKEA quality. They have a good quality furniture and the price are very reasonable. For the quality you get, the price are very good. My husband and I purchased all our furniture from this store. When we moved from our first house to the second house, the furniture are still in the very good condition. It was easy to set them up back to our new house. We often come back to see what they have because we love their furniture collection. Service is great and friendly.

Great furniture and service! You don’t feel like you’re walking into a car dealership as I have many times with other places, they let you do your looking and if you have any questions they are there to provide a great service. I will return for more! Thanks!

I’ve been in the midst of furnishing a rental. I had the hardest time finding chairs for a kitchen table. I love that you can purchase unfinished pieces and paint them however you’d like. It’s extremely convenient and affordable. The employees are very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended!

I like their furniture but customer service at this location is meeh. We had a table that we bought here that has a self inflicted blemish on (our fault) and we went in asking for help on buying a pint of paint to fix. Holy crow I think I offended someone behind the counter for asking for advice
«No we don’t sell paint, no we can’t fix it, hey use a crayon or manic marker and color it.»
You think I asked them to do something special … We just wanted advice. Maybe all 3 of the staff was having a bad day, week or month but really???
Going to living spaces where at least we are treated well.
Owner beware — nice product but your staff killed any repeat business. (staff 25 ish make and 60 ish female)

Visited Al’s Woodcraft in Tustin. Crystal was friendly and very helpful. The next day I called to make a change to my order. I spoke to Sandy who was also very helpful and pleasant to deal with. You can find things here that you wouldn’t find elsewhere.

Nice furniture, easy ordering, great local delivery!!!

I went to 3 – 4 local furniture stores looking for «wood» bookshelves but everything I found was particle board with veneer — Al’s is not a «megastore» but its pretty large. The niche they serve is everything is «real wood». I ended up buying bookcases that were a great value and were made of solid wood — Salesperson was awesome, Glad I found this place!

We’ve visited Al’s Woodcraft (the Tustin store) on two separate occasions to purchase General Finishes Java Gel Stain. For some reason none of the major home improvement stores (e.g., Home Depot) carries it, which is crazy to me because this product is immensely popular and highly regarded among the legions of re-​purposing furniture fans. My husband and I decided to re-​stain our kitchen cabinets (a huge undertaking!) to save some money that would have otherwise been spent towards refacing or replacing them. Al’s Woodcraft came through when we needed the product right away.
Very low pressure yet friendly and helpful service. Nice selection of finished and unfinished furniture. I’m not sure if their furniture prices are comparable to other stores, but Al’s Woodcraft’s prices for wood stain and supplies are a bit more expensive compared to online stores such as Amazon.

I love Al’s Woodcraft. Great quality furniture with good pricing that will last a lifetime. They go out of their way with customer service as well. I think 50% of my furniture is from Al’s.

Reading these reviews, it is hard to image things have changed, we will see.
The quality of the four pieces we purchased and the craftmanship in stains was great, that was ten years ago. Because all the unfinished furniture stores went out of business in San Diego :-(we will be driving to Tustin to pick out bed-​storage unit. I did call, they said what I wanted was in stock. Stay-​tuned

We bought a pub table a couple of years ago at Al’s…I love it. but I didn’t get the chairs, opting for cheapy chairs at IKEA. Dumb idea.
Flash forward to yesterday. I just had to have new chairs that really match our table.
We went to Pier One, World Market and a couple of other places… decent enough, but I wasn’t going to spend $ 189 PER chair!
Thank goodness my husband remembered Al’s!!! Four gorgeous high back chairs, with swivel seats…$ 99 a piece!
Fantastic! So very happy with the chairs and how beautifully they match the table. I can’t wait to set my Thanksgiving table!
Save the gas and just go to see Al!

I meant to write this review back in March when we purchased our beautiful table and chairs… but things just distracted me from remembering.
I can’t go another day without giving this store major props! It was the FIRST store that we went to that didn’t have the SAME ‘OL stuff. We are an eclectic family and don’t always enjoy having matching everything. At Al’s, we were able to purchase a beautiful black counter height dining table with a butterfly leaf. It didn’t automatically come with matching chairs… which was a TOTAL plus for me because that meant I could choose them! I found 4 chairs for an insane price back in the clearance section that matched my table just enough but allowed for our eclectic style to come through. I appreciated that they had a variety of styles, not just the «hi, I’m from Orange County, welcome to my cookie cutter home/​furniture». (No offense to my fellow SOCAL-​ers! I love OC! Just aren’t keen on keeping up with the Jones’ or looking anything LIKE the Jones’ for that matter!) If you are more interested in getting furniture like your neighbors, go to Linders or LIving Spaces. Otherwise, Give Al’s a chance. Awesome customer service. VERY helpful staff! :) We get compliments all the time on our dining set. It’s so original and beautiful! We will be back for sure when looking for our next big peice of furniture!

They have a decent selection of finished and unfinished furniture with a variety of styles. I would recommend checking out their selection online, pick the things you would like to look at, then go to the store and flag down one of the employees to show you around. The store can be a bit of a maze if you are just stopping in, and the staff seem inclined to let you browse if you don’t grab their attention.
Once you have their attention, They work with you to find what you need.
When I got my buffet home and upstairs I noticed that there were a couple defects in the assembly. One of the interior walls was slightly skewed, making it so some center shelves wouldn’t fit in place, and a rack for the wine glasses was pretty badly out of line. (A Sante Fe Server-​DS470B (made in Malaysia), if you care to avoid the manufacturer) It was easier for me to pull out a screwdriver and rasp and fix it myself than to lug it back down the stairs and over to the store. They do offer repair/​replacement within 30 days. I would rather the quality control was a little better to begin with. Still the blemish was easily fixed and I have a nice sturdy piece of furniture at a reasonable price.
I would visit this place again, but I may open the box at the store, instead of waiting until I get home to discover any problems.

Utterly terrible customer service, and some furniture is made in Taiwan. I rarely give one star reviews but Al’s has earned it.
If you browse online you see tons of unpainted, wood furniture. The website, however, says call to make sure they have things in stock. I called and called but never got nothing more than a long message and a voicemail box. No biggie, right? I decide to drive down and see for myself. Unlike most furniture stores where annoying, cheesy guys in bad suits harass you to buy furniture, Al’s has the opposite problem. No one is around at all to help you find things or assist you in any way.
We went to the front where the only employee was helping another customer. We asked her if there were mirrors in stock and had she had no idea when they might come in. Maybe in a few weeks or a month. Seriously? I recognize that she was helping others but given that she was the only employee in the whole place she could’ve taken a second to say, «I’ll be right with you as soon as I’m done with these customers.»
PS — Al’s advertises some of its furniture as «Made in the USA.» If this is something you care about, make sure to check as to each piece as some boxes that I noticed on the wall stated that the contents were «Made in Taiwan.»

I was looking for two pieces of furniture for my home and after looking everywhere I just couldn’t find anything that met my needs. Seems like everything is dark wood these days and my cabinets, etc. in my home (well the downstairs) are all pecan colored. So I was browsing Al’s Woodcraft with my mom when I was told that they do custom pieces. How fantastic is that?!
I had a buffet and TV console made that accented my kitchen cabinets (I have an open floor plan, so you see my wood all had to match). The pieces are beautifully made, dovetailed drawers, beautiful accents like molding, etc. I love my bun feet too!
Al’s Woodcraft is exceptional! Their service (especially Sandy) was amazing and the craftsmanship is excellent. While not cheap, reasonably priced, sure you can get cheaper furniture but is it all wood? No.

Al’s Woodcraft is a big easy to find gold building of the 5 frwy at Red Hill. You can check out the huge selection of finished and unfinished furniture and all the prices online before you visit. If you dont find what you need they have custom options. I have found lots of great deals at Al’s. I started with my dining set almost ten years ago. My kids bunk bed and dresser, entertainment and livingroom furniture came after that. Quality makes a statement. If you want nice quality furniture that will last, check out Al’s Woodcraft.

Good selection, solid friendly service, fair prices, instant availability
.
When looking for furniture it can be tough to find a place that has good selection and actual availability.
I was looking for a nice piece to hold my LCD TV. I did the usual Ikea walk through, then hit the Great Indoors, and the rows of stores in between. Many stores had 5 stands to chose from, and even if I had found one it was going to be a 2 week wait for availability.
When we visited Al’s they had at least 25 stands to choose from, maybe more. You could either place an order, or walk out with one of the ones in the showroom.
Low pressure yet helpful service, prices below other stores, and huge selection.
