To me, furniture design and construction are still art forms. I take great pride in carrying on the wonderful traditions of putting pencil to paper, sketching ideas, engineering parts, and putting together one of a kind pieces the world has never seen before. If you're in the market for a new piece of furniture, please come by for a no pressure consultation and quote.

It all began for me in a wood shop class at Edmond North Mid High. That's where I first fell in love with power tools, saw dust, and all things woodworking. A life long artist, woodworking was another outlet of creative expression for me, mixing form and design to create functional pieces.
At the age of 19 I began building furniture, and by the age of 23 I was designing, building and repairing furniture for residential and commercial clients around the central Oklahoma area.I opened my first furniture shop in Oklahoma City in 1996, called Wm. Graeber Designs. Though building custom furniture was my focus, I also offered stringed instrument repair, antique restoration and reupholstering services.

I stumbled across Grace Designs web site on Instagram some how and found William’s designs stunningly beautiful, exquisitely crafted and finished to a truly hand made artistic level. William is incredibly personal and responds gracefully to every comment or compliment. I would not hesitate one second to recommend him for custom work to anyone at any level. He can work to provide options to work within your budget as well.

We recently moved back to the area and needed a custom dining table for a challenging space. We were introduced to Graeber through a local contact. We honestly didn’t know what to expect. This is the first time we’ve ever had a custom piece of furniture. To say that Willie and the crew at Graeber exceeded our expectations is an understatement! The quality of our table is amazing. It is absolutely the perfect color and size for the space we have. The team that delivered the table was professional and courteous and worked with great efficiency. I recommend anyone looking for good quality furniture

After searching for several months for the perfect 72" round dining table to no avail, I was fortunate enough to learn of Graeber Design. My experience working with William and his staff was fantastic. Not only did they deliver a truly one of a kind piece of furniture of impeccable detail and quality, but they made the process fun. William is a true artisan. He is extremely talented and passionate about delivering quality work to his customers. I had such a great experience that I have now commissioned him for a second project.

Willie is THE BEST! It was such a great experience to have a piece of furniture designed and built especially for our home...what started as a sketch on paper turned into a gorgeous table. Working with Willie at Graeber Design was like working with a furniture therapist. He would patiently listen to my ideas and help me distill what I actually wanted in a table.
Our table is solid wood and so well built! Everything was done on time and exactly as we wanted. If you want custom, this is the place!!

William at Rust and Rot treats you like a friend. When we needed a new dining room table to fit a small area, he took the time to listen to our wants and needs and then sketched up a beautiful table that exceeded my expectations. He was honest about his work load and how long we would need to wait for our table. We ordered during his busy season, so we waited about 7 weeks for our custom table. The wait was so worth it!!! It's like he jumped inside my head and created the piece that I wanted but couldn't possibly convey all the details about. The quality of our maple table is top-notch

We ordered our first piece from them in October, a coffee table. It turned out so well that we ordered a farmhouse table and matching bench. All the pieces were above expectations. Locally made, solid wood furniture with excellent craftsmanship. We will continue to order from them and recommend them to our friends.

Rust & Rot along with owner Willy is an amazing craftsman and his work is top notch. He will go above and beyond the normal call to get what you want in a custom piece and has great ideas. His customer service is amazing. I highly recommend anything he sells and any custom work you might want to do, it will turn out amazing, I had 2 custom tables built and we are working on ideas for the third! Just go out to his store and visit with him and you'll see why his work is so good! His prices are great as well, you won't find better quality furniture for the price anywhere and he stands
