Meet the family
The one thing you may not have known about us is that Creative Oak Furniture is a family business, building a legacy of service.
Our Story
Our owner Larry Simmons has dreamed of passing down his business to his son and future generations since the business’ inception. His son Lawrence Simmons has been working and learning under his father since the age of 16 years old. Now with more than 20 years of experience, Lawrence takes on many of the day to day operations. Not only is this a father-son team, Larry’s wife, Patricia, joined the business in 2015 as administrative assistant.
The newest members of the team include Lawrence’s son, Jaleel, and Larry’s daughter, Leah. Three generations working together to provide its clients with exceptional service.
From Larry
“I started this business in Dallas, Texas in March of 1983. At the age of 28 years old, it started out as just a hobby. My love for design and drawing lead me to start building custom heirloom furniture pieces. From there it has turned into much more. Not only a business that has provided top quality millwork to thousands of customers in our over 40 years of business. But now one that has a legacy of service handed down to my son and future generations.”
From Lawrence
“As the 2nd generation of Creative Oak Furniture, my goal is to continue the high bar of customer satisfaction that my father began over 40 years ago. Helping our clients achieve their millwork and renovation desires is a great opportunity for me to share all that my dad has instilled in me.”
Creative Oak Furniture MFG.
