Our Story
Authentic, unparalleled craftsmanship combined with American ingenuity
Jim Dates and Allan Weiser made their first prototypes in a garage in Buffalo in 1982 with a shared ambition to create the finest custom furniture. Today, DatesWeiser continues to build beautifully designed, timeless products. Every piece is impeccably crafted, incorporating technology in discreet, clever ways that never distract from the elegance or power of the design. Collaboration and innovation are our core values— understanding how to interpret client needs is what makes DatesWeiser a trusted partner in the design process and ensures confidence in durable, lasting products that look as good decades later as the day they were installed.

Gene, Plant Supervisor We suspect he sees things the rest of us can’t. Maybe that’s why he always sees the bigger picture.
Scott, Veneer Specialist 21 years with us means his family has grown up in tandem with DatesWeiser. We’re grateful to them as well.
Johnny, Press Operator A jokester, the guy we all need, when laughter is the answer.
Kraig, Woodworking Associate A sensitive guy, he can tell with one touch when the job is done right.
Relationships matter to us. We nurture and value them
It's why our customers view us as partners rather than manufacturers. At DatesWeiser business is personal; everyone who works with us makes a valuable contribution to making the finest furniture we can.
