About Us

Based in Galax, Virginia, Artisan and Post manufactures bedroom furniture. In 1919, two men, B.C. Vaughan and J.D. Bassett, Sr., both of whom were from Bassett, Virginia, first founded our company. Mr. Bassett, Sr., and his brother, C.C. Bassett, also founded what today is well known as Bassett Furniture Industries.

Employing over 500 craftsmen in factories based in Galax, Virginia, we are extremely proud of the fact that 100 percent of our furniture is crafted here in the United States by American employees. In fact, Artisan and Post is now the largest manufacturer of solid wood adult bedroom furniture in the United States.

All of the furniture we manufacture consists of American Hardwood solids harvested near our plants in the Southeast. Oak, Maple, Cherry, and Birch are the primary species used in Artisan and Post bedroom collections.

Our number one priority is providing our customers with unmatched service, quality, and value. In short, nothing makes us happier than to make it easy for our customers to feel at home.


All Artisan and Post chests and dressers are engineered to comply with ASTM International F2057, a voluntary stability standard for bedroom storage furniture. Furniture tip restraints and instructions for installation are included.

We strongly recommend using the tip restraint hardware to securely anchor this product to the wall.  In homes where children reside or visit, we advise you to anchor all chests and dressers.

Artisan and Post is a member of the American Home Furnishings Alliance, a trade organization dedicated to working with regulatory officials to develop and maintain effective product safety standards for residential furniture.
