Custom Fabrication & Architectural Millwork
Structural craftsmanship for custom beds, headboards, banquettes, wall panels, and bespoke seating.
Structural Craftsmanship That Elevates Upholstery
At First Class MasterCraft, our fabrication work goes far beyond cabinetry. Every structural component is hand‑built and precision‑crafted to support luxury upholstery — frames, bases, sub‑structures, and architectural millwork that integrate seamlessly with fabric, lighting, storage, and interior design. Each element is artisan‑built to ensure perfect alignment, long‑term stability, and architectural accuracy.
Whether you are a designer, homeowner, or contractor, our team builds the frames, bases, and millwork that make your upholstered installations look intentional, aligned, and built to last. All fabrication is handcrafted in our Fort Lee workshop and master‑crafted in our West Nyack CNC facility, combining legacy craftsmanship with modern engineering.

Where Fabrication Meets Upholstery
Most woodshops stop at boxes and doors. We build the precision‑crafted structural and architectural elements that allow upholstery, fabric, and finishing to sit perfectly in place — the hidden craftsmanship that makes luxury interiors feel seamless. Every component is artisan‑built to support clean upholstery lines, proper alignment, and long‑term stability.

Materials We Trust
All cabinetry, millwork, and custom furniture components are fabricated using architectural‑grade hardwoods
and engineered substrates selected for structural performance, dimensional stability, and finish quality.
Hardwoods & Cores
Primary hardwood species include teak, white oak, red oak, walnut, maple, cherry, mahogany, rosewood,
and acacia. Each is specified based on load requirements, moisture exposure, grain expression, and
design intent.
Structural components utilize solid hardwood or furniture‑grade plywood with calibrated core construction
for screw‑holding strength and long‑term stability.
Surfaces & Specialty Substrates
Decorative surfaces are matched for grain continuity, color uniformity, and finish absorption.
High‑performance MDF or specialty substrates are used where flatness tolerance, paint‑grade finishing,
or CNC precision is required.
All materials are evaluated for density, stability, moisture resistance, and lifecycle performance to
meet architectural standards for durability, longevity, and aesthetic integrity.
