Top Trend: Downsizing of the American Dream

A recent survey of top trends in 2011 identified American’s growing acceptance of limitations. It appears that a significant number of us in the U.S. are downsizing our dreams (Barna.org). The proverbial patterns of everyday American life have been disrupted, and in some cases, changed forever.

But all of us here at L.L. Johnson Lumber Mfg. Co. and Johnson’s Workbench are bucking that trend. We still help woodworkers achieve their most challenging project goals. From wholesalers, to retailers, we are woodworkers’ trusted resource for industry expertise.

In helping a customer, we like to begin with the end in mind and seek solutions of mutual benefit and satisfaction. When our customers respond, “I can't thank you enough for all your help and for looking out for us.” -- that is our definition of a job done successfully.

In addition, we still uphold the shortest turnaround time for order fulfillment in our industry. From order placement to order delivery, our process is very simple. We place a priority on quickly connecting you with the highest quality woodworking resources you need to complete your project on time. Our customers tend to agree: “My local wood supply store...had three boards of cypress that were terrible. They tried to tell me that they were the best available due to drastic shortages. However the material I received from you was almost flawless…It arrived in 3 days in excellent condition…”

During current uncertain times, our customers do not have to lower their expectations of our products and services. Contact us at: info@theworkbench.com or call us toll-free: 800-292-5937 to get started on your next project.

Michigan Maple Block butcher block products are sold around the world. A list of individuals who have butcher block products in their homes or work places would read like a celebrity who’s who. Currently Michigan Maple Block can be found at the FBI headquarter in Vandenberg , VA, The John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, CA and the

Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Michigan Maple Block cutting boards and preparation tables can be seen on many of the most popular television cooking shows. Their Locker Benches are also used by World Champion sports teams like the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field and The Detroit Red Wings.
