We had a custom piece built from mesquite and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome and process. We had been searching for months before deciding to get exactly what we wanted built to our specifications. The price was a concern but it was very reasonable, ready within 2 weeks and exactly what we had envisioned. People that visit our house always compliment us on it and ask where it came from and we proudly tell them about Southwest. If you want a unique piece of furniture from flooring to tables or countertops, I highly recommend them.

Do you like really well made wood stuff? I mean do you like the look and feel of good wood that has been worked on by professionals and made into something beautiful? Then you should check out Southwest Trading Post. This is the place to go if you want to have a properly kiln dried, beautifully shaped piece of wood adorn your home. Southwest can deliver. We got a Mesquite Island top. Our friends got a mantle. During our visits there we saw them make a beautiful custom table that seated 20. It all gets the same care. Honestly, I liked going there just for the chance to see the different woods they have being formed into whatever they were making that day. And for the way their shop smelled. There’s nothing like that smell. I will almost certainly return to get some other wood pieces from them. And for that smell. Just driving up to the place is fun. It could easily pass for an old Western dry goods store. They are completely honest about where their wood comes from. If they can’t absolutely verify where it came from they’ll tell you that too. I wanted local mesquite. They had some mesquite that was taken from South Texas ranch/farmland. Close enough. I really liked their mesquite flooring and, knowing what I wanted, they were quick to tell me it was not a locally sourced product. They didn’t have to, but they did. I like that kind of honesty. The pricing reflects the quality. There are some mantles that appeared to be completed and for sale, but I’d bet the majority of their work is on an order basis. They were prompt in completing our order, and man was it worth it. Come by the house and take a look at our island top if you don’t believe me!
