A family workshop,
now a design house.
Pro·Wood began in 2013 with Charbel Chkeir, the father, building solid-wood furniture by hand. Since 2018 it has been led by his son Michel Chkeir, an interior designer, who grew the workshop into a wood-design studio too.
Mount Lebanon · since 2013
From Charbel's bench to Michel's drawing board.
It started back in 2013 with Charbel Chkeir, the father, a carpenter who believed a piece should be built once and built to last. In 2018 his son Michel Chkeir, an interior designer, took the lead, and Pro·Wood grew from a carpentry workshop into a full wood-design studio.
Today we don't just build in wood, we design in it. We produce complete 2D and 3D designs for your space, free of charge. And if you're a company, an architect, or a designer, Michel reads your plans and drawings and delivers the finished work with zero headaches.
Eight things, no more.
Solid wood, mostly
Veneer has its place; we use it sparingly. Most of what we make is solid timber that ages with you.
Joinery, not screws
Mortise & tenon, dovetails, splines, joints that hold for decades, not warranty periods.
Slow over fast
If a piece needs eight weeks, it gets eight weeks. We won't rush a finish to ship sooner.
Honest pricing
Quotes break down materials, hours, and finish, no padded numbers, no surprise fees at install.
Open communication
You see drawings, samples, and progress photos. No piece arrives at install as a surprise.
Local first
Lebanese cedar, mountain oak, and locally milled stock when we can. Imports only when we must.
Sustainable sourcing
FSC-certified timber where possible, salvaged stock when the grain is right. We pay attention to where the tree came from.
We answer for it
If a hinge sags or a finish lifts a year in, we come back and make it right. Our name is on the piece, that means something.
