Because this couch comes in several versions, different wooden frames from mahogany to oak to teak comprise of the legs, arms, apron, and rails. The corners of the arms are pointed giving off the appearance of a 90-degree angle. The back of the couch includes three horizontal rails to support the spring cushions protected by wool covers. There are a total of six cushions; three seat cushions and three back cushions.
• The Colonial Chair. The origin of this chair goes back to the year 1949. The most distinct feature of this style of furniture is the rough looking outer appearance of the cushions. The two cushions, a seat cushion and a back cushion, are leather and loosely structured to guarantee comfort. Wood materials used to build the frames are mahogany and cane. There are four rails that support the back cushion. Four spindles also connect between each leg. The stiles arch back slightly to allow for relaxation. The top of the armrests curve down slightly before rising and connecting to the apron and side spindles, allowing about ¼ of space between the armrests and the front legs. The rear legs curve back while the front legs are perfectly straight.
• The France and Son Rocking Chair. The design of this chair is slender and evokes a sense of tranquility. The cushions come in a variety of protective coverings from wool to linen, to leather. The back cushion is notable for its slightly crescent-shaped appearance where the middle of the cushion curves back before bending forward. The seat cushion is flat and square in comparison. The frame consists of an arm and a base on each side that meld together to form a trapezoidal shape with a slightly arched top and bottom to allow motion. Frames are created from a variety of wood sources from teak to rosewood to birch.
• The A.J. Iverson Desk. This piece of office furniture comes in several versions, with mahogany wood or rosewood being the two most notable.

The two bases that connect to the legs run parallel to one another.
• The T-Chair. The appearance of this mahogany and leather chair is very unique, yet functional. The leather seat is wider in surface than the apron below that holds the seat cushion in place. Common seat colors are red and black.
