About Noah Built
Noah Built was founded in 2011 by Noah Steen, a North Carolina State University graduate who learned woodworking from his father, Paul.
What began as a hobby making Adirondack chairs in his parents’ garage, is now a small, but thriving custom furniture business in Chatham County, NC.
Today, Noah and his father Paul are co-owners of Noah Built. They work alongside each other in the workshop affectionately named the "Big Red Barn" in honor of the children's book by Margaret Wise Brown.
Collectively, Noah and Paul have built more than a hundred unique, one-of-a-kind, pieces of furniture:
-
Farmhouse tables, kitchen tables and fine dining tables
-
Coffee and end tables
-
Benches and banquettes
-
Desks and commercial counters
-
Buffets, hutches and media consoles
-
Kitchen islands and custom counter tops

Noah
Noah is the founder of Noah Built and since its inception in 2011, was the face and heart of the business.
Things have changed in the past 15 years. Noah is married, and he and his wife Jackie have two active boys and a sweet baby girl.
In addition to being a devoted husband and loving father, Noah works full time, so has passed the furniture building to his father, Paul.
Noah continues to build around his home and you can find those amazing photos by searching @noahbuilt on Instagram.
Paul
Paul is Noah's father, co-owner, business partner and the master craftsman that inspired Noah.
An engineer by profession and a perfectionist by nature, Paul began by assisting Noah with more complicated projects.
Paul retired in 2023 from corporate America and is now doing 100% of the furniture building. After building numerous built-ins, he has decided to focus on tables and free standing pieces.
Tucker
Tucker was the white lab in the "lab tested" part of our original name, Noah Built, Lab Tested.
Although we shortened our name to Noah Built, Tucker remained a very large a part of the business until he crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025.
He was our mascot, our model and truly man's (Noah's) best friend. We still miss you Tucker!
