The Legacy of Gerstner’s Dayton Industrial Style

Company History

Celebrating 118 Years of Quality and Style

Dayton Industrial

Dayton Industrial Style refers to a distinctive furniture design originating from the industrial boom in Dayton during the early to mid-20th century. This style seamlessly combines elements of Shaker, Craftsman, and Industrial designs, creating a unique blend of old-school charm and modern functionality. One example of the style are the wood machinist chests attributed to Harry Gerstner.

Enjoying everyday my first Gerstner purchase from a year or two ago. Thanks so much for still making such a great product and carrying on the tradition and legacy of a great American company. Can’t wait for my next additions.

I have built three Gerstner kits in the past year and find it an excellent way to get into the Gerstner family on a budget. The B35 (now 1605) is my favorite. The five drawers are nicely sized for my measuring tools with enough depth for thicker squares. The assembly was easy once I viewed the online videos and laid out all the pieces... Great fun.
