Perfection is in the Process
OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER

At the heart of DAKODA LOVE is a story of passion, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence. Our journey began with an unwavering love for authentic, handmade products crafted right here in the USA. In 2015, Kyle, inspired by his own experiences with slow deliveries and the desire to make a difference, founded DAKODA LOVE. His vision was simple: create exceptional handmade wood products that would reach customers quickly and effortlessly.
With our humble beginnings in Derek’s garage, we focused on perfecting our unique floating shelves. As their popularity soared, our small family business blossomed into a bustling woodshop, now home to 8 incredible artisans who share our enthusiasm for woodworking.
The name DAKODA, derived from the Lakota Sioux word for “friend” or “ally,” honors the rich heritage of America’s indigenous people, who have cherished and respected this land for millennia. LOVE symbolizes our passion for our craft, the exquisite products we create, and the lives we touch along the way.
When you choose DAKODA LOVE, you not only embrace high-quality, American-made craftsmanship, but you also champion ethical and humane manufacturing practices. We consciously opt to keep production within our borders, supporting our national economy and staying true to our values.
Together, we are on a mission to become one of America’s finest solid wood companies. Driven by your support and our commitment to excellence, we continuously strive to exceed your expectations and innovate for the future.
Thank you for joining us on this remarkable journey, and for standing strong and passionate by our side.
