The Wood Furniture Factory

926 Coolidge Ave. National City CA 91950 (619)474-4747

The Wood Furniture Factory was founded when owners Bret Qua and Raymond Mendoza recognized something missing in San Diego: quality solid wood furniture built to last.

Over the years, imported furniture made from veneers and composite materials had become the norm—even in many high-end furniture stores. For customers who value genuine craftsmanship and real wood construction, the options had become limited.

With more than 75 years of combined furniture-making experience, Bret and Raymond set out to fill that gap by building furniture the way it used to be made—carefully crafted, built from solid wood, and designed to serve families for generations.

Every piece we build carries our reputation with it. From the selection of hand-chosen lumber to the final finish, we take pride in every detail and stand behind the furniture we create.

At The Wood Furniture Factory we combine time-tested construction methods with modern technology to ensure precision, durability, and quality in every project. Our goal is simple: to build furniture that will stand the test of time.

By creating furniture that lasts for decades instead of years, we believe we are not only providing lasting value to our customers, but also helping reduce waste and promote sustainability.

We offer a wide range of designs, and we also specialize in custom furniture built specifically for your home. Whether you're looking for a bookcase, a home theater cabinet, a storage bed, or an entire home library, we would be honored to build it for you.

Meet the Owners

Bret Qua

Bret is a native San Diegan who began working as a teen in his family’s 50,000 square foot furniture manufacturing business, where they produced solid wood furniture for the unfinished furniture trade. By 1980 he was managing the entire operation, being involved in everything from product design to developing milling, machining, & assembly techniques to build a quality end product. Bret still designs & engineers practically every piece we produce. In every design he strives to create an aesthetically pleasing piece, combined with functionality & durability. His 35 years in the furniture industry gives him a wealth of experience that will clearly be on display in the work we do for you.

Raymond Mendoza

Raymond got his start in the furniture industry right here in San Diego. Already bringing a strong wood working background with him, his tenure allowed him to learn the fine nuances of quality furniture, the importance of customer service, and how to put a good looking finish on a piece of wood. Raymond is also our CNC operator, a key process that allows us to build furniture with very tight tolerances, and the dovetail drawer specialist. And the webmaster, so it feels weird talking about myself! : )
