About

Our name has changed. After more than two decades as Royal Oak, we are now UpperWoods Furniture Company.

Why the change? It’s simple, really. Over the years, many clients have told us that they only came into the store after they realized — by reading an ad or by someone telling them — that we weren’t a traditional oak store. We knew our name needed to change to reflect our product lines of Canadian-made, solid-wood furniture in styles ranging from urban casual to rustic country.

Why UpperWoods? We like having “woods” as part of our name. Plural, instead of singular conveys the array of woods we carry — maple, birch, oak, cherry and pine, as well as exotics. The word “Upper” is also connected to our Canadian roots and Canadian product lines. Upper Canada, now southern Ontario, was first established as a British colony in 1763. In later years, it became known as “Canada West.” OK, we’re a lot further west, but the sentiment is the same: Canadian, and proud of it.

Has anything else changed? No. Same Canadian craftsmanship. Same excellent value. Same nice people. That’s it.
