Custom Furniture for Beautiful Homes

Welcome to Mark Royko Studio: Handcrafted Custom Furniture with a Personal Touch

Who Are We?
Mark Royko Studio started in 2001, from the heart of Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood. Today, it has evolved into a full-time craft studio specializing in custom furniture and small gifts. From elegant sideboards and outdoor tables to bespoke beds, doors, entry tables, and one-of-a-kind frames, every piece is meticulously handcrafted to meet the unique needs of homeowners, small businesses, interior designers, and architects.

Where Are You Located?
Operating out of a small studio in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood, I’m proud to serve the entire Chicago area with local delivery and consultation services. Not in Chicago? No problem—my custom furniture can be shipped to homes and businesses across North America.

What Materials Do We Use?
Our commitment to quality and sustainability starts with the materials we select. While I love the beauty of exotic hardwoods, I focus primarily on North American woods such as walnut, maple, cherry, poplar, and ash. When exotic woods are used, they’re carefully chosen to ensure sustainability and reserved for stunning accent details.

Affordable Luxury for Every Home
At Mark Royko Studio, I believe that heirloom-quality furniture should be accessible. My pricing is competitive with high-end manufacturers, yet my dedication to craftsmanship often makes me a more affordable option. Every piece I create is designed to last for generations, blending timeless style with durability.
