Hoot Judkins Furniture

Hoot Judkins offers the Bay Area’s best selection of Real Wood Furniture. We carry an extensive collection of furniture, made in the USA, from real wood and finished with low VOC products. Several of our top selling lines are made entirely in California, who has some of the most strict finishing standards in the world. Plus, these products are being shipped a very short distance reducing the dependence and cost of fuel and reducing the need for additional packaging materials. We consolidate our delivery trucks reducing our dependency on fuel. In order to expand our selection and price, we do offer some imported furniture. However, we are extremely selective about the products and quality. We only buy from reputable US manufacturers that build quality furniture built to last. We do not buy into the mentality that furniture is « disposable » and should only last a few years.

« Hoot » Judkins was started in 1962 by Hoot Judkins in San Francisco as a paint and wallpaper store.To compliment his store, Hoot brought in a few pieces of unfinished furniture for his customers to paint. After a few months of success, Hoot knew the unfinished furniture market would be his niche. As the years progressed, the one store operation, « Hoot » Judkins Unfinished Furniture grew into a multi-store, two warehouse chain known as « Hoot » Judkins Unfinished and Finished Real Wood Furniture. Keeping with the history of the operation we have always kept our « Hoot » owl for our logo with the paintbrush under his wing. We pride ourselves in being second generation family owned and operated company and take pride in our team of friendly, knowledgeable employees. Our employees are trained to educate our clients about the wood, finishes and construction of our products.

Bobby W.
Business Owner
I literally grew up with Hoot Judkins Furniture. My father, who was Hoot’s original partner, managed our company for more than 30 years. There were many Saturdays and Sundays when I’d go to store as a young boy and sweep or dust. I even helped a few people find the right piece of furniture.
As I got older, I made deliveries on Saturdays, giving me the great opportunity to meet hundreds of people and hear what they had to say about our store, staff and products. Once in college (SCU) I started to work on the sales floor.
After graduating with a marketing major and a minor in retail studies, I assumed the role managing the daily operations. Today, Dad gets to play with the grand kids while my sister (Vicki) and I continue to strive to offer the Bay Area the best assortment of wood furniture, the best staff in the business, and a value to our loyal customers that simply can’t be beat.
