Against the Grain Custom Furniture (ATG) was founded in 1996 by Yolanda Sandoval in Southern California, quickly gaining a reputation for innovative designs, exceptional quality, and great value. Our passion for craftsmanship has led us to work with amazing brands like Fred Segal, Paramount Pictures, Sony Entertainment, Dreamworks, Gianfranco Ferré, Waldorf Astoria (Hilton Worldwide Holdings), In-N-Out Burger, La Curacao and Lamborghini — along with countless designers who trust us for their custom projects.
For nearly 30 years, ATG’s beautiful furniture and cabinetry have found homes with A-list clients and helped restore historic spaces. Yolanda leads the company with a heartfelt commitment to keeping furniture “Made in the USA,” proudly handcrafted by skilled artisans using the finest materials.
We don’t just build furniture — we create lasting pieces full of character and warmth that stand the test of time. Many try to copy our look, but none can match the care, precision, and artistry we bring to every project.
With the Sandoval family personally involved at every step, we love collaborating with our clients to turn ideas into heirloom-quality furniture. Whether for your home or commercial space, let’s create something uniquely yours.
Get in touch today — we’d love to hear about your vision and help bring it to life.
