Workshop Detroit FAQ
Where are our chef's carts made?
All Workshop Detroit chef's carts are handcrafted at our fabrication shop in Detroit, Michigan by our small team of skilled craftsmen. Every table is built to order with close attention to detail, durability, and finish.
What materials do you use for your chef's carts?
We specialize in reclaimed, salvaged and sustainably sourced solid wood, including reclaimed pine, reclaimed oak, and select hardwoods depending on the design. Each tabletop is paired with heavy-duty steel or solid wood bases designed for long-term stability.
Will my chef's carts look exactly like the photos?
No two chef's carts are exactly alike. Because we use real wood—often reclaimed—natural variations in grain, knots, and color are expected and celebrated. Your table will be similar in style and finish, but uniquely yours.
Can I customize the size or finish?
Yes. Most of our chef's carts can be customized by size, wood species, finish color, and base style. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, contact us and we’ll help design a bench that fits your space perfectly.
How long does it take to receive my chef's carts?
Because our chef's carts are made to order, typical lead times range from 8–10 weeks depending on the design and current production schedule. We’ll provide an estimated timeline when your order is placed and keep you updated along the way.
Do you offer white glove delivery or in-home setup?
Yes. We offer in-home delivery and set up is available for many locations and includes delivery, placement, and packaging removal.
Are your chef's carts durable enough for everyday use?
Absolutely. Our chef's carts are built for daily life. We use commercial-grade finishes that protect against spills, heat, and normal wear. Our chef's carts are built to last for generations.
How do I care for and clean my chef's cart?
Routine care is simple. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. No Bleach. Mild soap only. Coasters and placemats are recommended for added protection, as with any natural wood surface.
What if my chef's cart arrives damaged?
We stand behind our work. If your chef's cartarrives with shipping damage, contact us immediately and we’ll make it right—whether that means repair, replacement, or another solution.
