Against the Grain Custom Furniture (ATG) was founded in 1996 by Yolanda Sandoval in Southern California, quickly earning a reputation for cutting-edge designs, exceptional quality, and competitive pricing. ATG’s superior craftsmanship attracted the attention of the commercial sector, resulting in high-profile collaborations with renowned brands such as Fred Segal, Paramount Pictures, Sony Entertainment, Gianfranco Ferré, Waldorf Astoria, In-N-Out Burger and Lamborghini, among many many others. As word spread, top designers and industry leaders began to rely on ATG as their go-to source for custom-designed, high-end production pieces. Over the years, ATG’s exquisite furniture and cabinetry have not only adorned the homes of A-list celebrities but have also played a key role in historical restoration projects.
Nearly three decades later, ATG remains at the forefront of the custom furniture industry, with Yolanda Sandoval continuing to lead the company’s growth and innovation. Staying true to her unwavering “Made in the USA” philosophy, ATG proudly maintains its commitment to local craftsmanship while many competitors have outsourced production overseas. Every piece is handcrafted by highly skilled artisan carpenters and furniture makers, using only the finest materials to ensure exceptional durability and timeless beauty.
Over the years, ATG’s success has inspired many imitators, but none have been able to match the dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and personalized service that define the ATG brand. While others attempt to replicate the look, they fall short of delivering the precision, durability, and artistic excellence that come with true mastery. ATG’s commitment to excellence is not just about appearance — it’s about creating furniture that stands the test of time.
With the Sandoval family overseeing every aspect of the business, ATG’s legacy of excellence endures. The Sandoval’s passion for creating heirloom-quality furniture is as strong as ever, and they are personally available to collaborate with clients to bring their visions to life. Whether you're embarking on a commercial project or designing a statement piece for your home, ATG is ready to transform your ideas into stunning, handcrafted reality.
