    High Rock Designs End Table

    Heirloom-Quality End Tables Built For You. Proudly Handcrafted in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, USA.

    High Rock Designs is a team of artists and craftsmen that hand crafts custom steel furniture and accessories. We have worked long and hard at developing unique designs that stand the test of time, and are confident that you will enjoy your piece of furniture as much as we enjoyed making it. 

    Our name is derived from High Rock Bay in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, a remote and rugged destination on Lake Superior. It's as far north in Michigan as you can get and is absent of any civilization. There is nothing more inspirational to us than making our way out to High Rock Bay and being overwhelmed by the crashing waves and the breeze coming off of Lake Superior. The taste of the freshest air in the world reminds us to slow down for a little while, to enjoy the peace and serenity and leave our worries behind.
