A Legacy of Excellence in Furniture Design

Founded in Chicago in 1930, Butler Specialty Company has spent nearly a century perfecting the craft of case goods and accent furniture. What began as a family-run business has grown into an industry leader, recognized for its unwavering commitment to quality and its ability to stay ahead of design trends.


You’ll find everything from vintage-inspired classics to modern silhouettes in Butler’s portfolio—over 2,000 indoor and outdoor furniture designs. No matter the space—living room, bedroom, dining area, office, or outdoor lounge—Butler offers the right piece for every project.



Built for Designers, Built to Last

Butler’s dedication to the design trade shows in every detail. Each piece is engineered for long-lasting use, featuring commercial-grade construction like mortise-and-tenon joinery, dovetail drawers, and hand-applied finishes. These aren’t just beautiful designs—they’re built to withstand real-world use in boutique hotels, vacation rentals, and homes.


Butler also delivers on speed. With more than 1600 in-stock items ready to ship within 1-3 business days, you can keep your projects moving—no more waiting weeks for fulfillment.
