Classic Kindel Grand Rapids headboard. Full size, solid cherry wood, retailed by Lammerts of Saint Louis. Circa 1940s.Kindel makes each masterpiece especially for order in its Grand Rapids, Michigan facility. It is more of a work studio than a factory. Kindel does not do mass production and does not make a product until its original customer orders it. Kindel artisans are committed to let every chair, desk, table, bed, chest, sofa, and side piece emerge with integrity and handcraftsmanship. And be its own unique piece. In 1901, Charles J. Kindel found­ed Kindel Fur­ni­ture Com­pa­ny. The com­pa­ny trans­ferred own­er­ship in 1964 when Kindel was pur­chased by John Fish­er of Muncie, Indi­ana. The Fish­er fam­i­ly has main­tained fam­i­ly own­er­ship for over 50 years with a stal­wart ded­i­ca­tion to 100% Amer­i­can-made furniture. While oth­er com­pa­nies have sought low­er cost meth­ods and off­shore pro­duc­tion, Kindel has cham­pi­oned a stan­dard for domes­tic work. See
