Irion Review

Irion Lumber is now my go-to one stop shop for the times I need a matched tabletop, or set of boards for my high end projects. As a long time furniture designer-maker, I've had lots of sources, but Myron Yoder and Irion have proved to be the best for quality and value.

The walnut slabs I ordered from Irion Lumber came on time (very quickly) and they were bundled in scrap lumber and banded very securely. The grain in the slabs was even better in person than on their website. I won t hesitate to order more lumber from Irion Lumber when a job calls for special wood!

I have ordered wood three times from Irion. Each time it was a pleasure to deal with them on the phone and the lumber received was exactly as advertised. If you can't find what you want locally (like me) then Irion is the place to go.

Irion Lumber is the best lumber mill I have ever used. They carry top quality figured and plain material in a variety of different species and thicknesses.

Myron, is the nicest guy I have ever met and is super accommodating to all of his customers. Their prices are very reasonable and the quality of their lumber is top notch. Maybe that is the reason so many craftsman have their lumber shipped across the country. When you find a business that goes the extra mile for their customers you definitely want to support that business. Always a pleasure doing business with these guys.

I have been purchasing lumber from Irion for the last 10 years. The variety and quality is excellent. Myron is very helpful and accommodating. Wish it was closer to my home, I drive 5 hours one way to pick out the stock.

Great location! Lots of wood choices and beauty pieces. Could spend hours here looking around (and buying).

It's a little nerve wracking picking out a set of lumber online and living hundreds of miles away. This was an amazing set I ordered and I couldn't have been happier in the quality delivered. I first ordered a set for a 12 ft dining table, pictured below, and then recently purchased 60 bdft of tiger maple not in a set. The quality of both orders were great and far better than I could have expected. Will definitely order again!

Great with communication, but deceptive with there images. Three of the boards had good size holes in them, two of them are mostly unusable as boards because of the holes. I would advise them to take photos of these spots.
Update: They did reach out and helped to compensate.

These guys are great in every way. They know their material, they send out excellent quality lumber and have top customer service. And the prices are very much in line with the quality, so the value is always there.

I don't often buy really good looking exotic wood, but when I do I buy it from Irion.

Spectacular figured high-quality hardwoods, sold in sets/flitches so you can be sure that the grain and color will be consistent across all the pieces you use it on. They post pictures of all their lumber sets on their website so you can see what you're buying. Shipping costs are very reasonable. Very easy to do business with!

Top quality specialty lumber. I've never been disappointed.

I had to order several hundred board feet of cherry for a large project. Myron worked with me and got me just what I was needing. Fantastic quality lumber! I really like how they cater to furniture makers!

Irion Lumber provides high quality and unique lumber. They will respond to inquiries in a timely manner and help out with your project as you need. Highly recommend Irion Lumber.

Irion Lumber sells the very best, select material, and provides the best service, of any lumber retailer I've ever bought from -- period. If your project demands the best material, this is the place.

Great selection of figured cherry & maple, very good selection of walnut (not steamed!) & Mahogany as well. Very good selection of matched sets. They are very helpful, price is reasonable for the high quality.i look forward to doing business here regularly.

great service and absolutely the best boards around

My experience and the wood delivered has always exceeded my expectations. They really know their stuff and are honest and responsive. I don't hesitate to buy wood from them sight unseen.

Overall excellent quality lumber. Great people to deal with.

I've been buying lumber from here for years. The quality is unmatched by and other source I've tried, and Myron will go out of his way to make sure you get exactly what you need for your project. Really outstanding business.

Great stock with knowledgeable and very friendly staff.

The wood is simply amazing and what a pleasure to work with the Irion team! Shipping was a breeze.

I have requested details regarding lumber several times and they are always prompt getting back to me. Their lumber is beautiful.

Beautiful walnut table set, amazing service, fast shipping to Colorado with no issues. Myron was very helpful in helping me to select the set and coordinating additional 16/4 walnut wood for the table legs - I would highly recommend their product and service - especially for furniture builders who rely on remote purchasing.

Irion folks are extremely helpful. I ordered over 300bf of figured maple of various lengths, widths and thicknesses. We received very generous dimensions. I would highly recommend them. I make fine furniture with hand-tools only so I am very particular about my wood. The Irion folks also make furniture so they provide exceptional quality. I will certainly order from them again.

Irion lumber is, in my opinion, the best and most professional premium lumber supplier in the east coast, if not the entire USA. It is a joy working with the lumber they stock and a joy doing business with Myron and his crew. They constantly go out of their way to make sure you receive the best wood for your builds something you do not find at the majority of lumberyards. As a furniture-maker and nbss grad I cannot speak higher of Irion lumber Co.: their stock is second to none, prime, and worth every penny... place an order and you will understand.

Irion Lumber Co. will always be my go-to hardwood supplier.

I build artful and high end furniture pieces using lots of curly cherry along with figured maple and flame birch. I buy cherry exclusively from Irion Lumber because of their quality and their attention to meeting my specific needs. I live about 8 hours away so do not visit the yard to pick my stock. I have used their web site to select curly cherry sets and flame birch slabs, so I was able to see exactly what I was getting, but most often I send in an order by email for regular cherry stock. I trust I will receive quality materials and not something picked over that others do not want. Over many years, I have always received quality material which has minimal or no sap wood and therefor I have almost no waste. I often include specify requests in my order for an individual curly piece of certain size to match pictures I find on their web site, and they do accommodate. I highly recommend Irion Lumber as I simply cannot say enough good things about them.

Great set of folks to work with. Exceptional wood that never disappoints. Our order is always placed and shipped within a day or two. Would highly recommend Irion Lumber Company if you are looking for quality, top notch hardwoods.

Irion Lumber is always my first choice for fine hardwood lumber for both shop and architectural projects. First, they are all top shelf people whose word is gold. Second, they have a proven track record of not overstating what the product is and how good or rare it is. Third, there are not a lot of places I can go to select sets of matched lumber at fair prices without any B.S. I can call and talk to them about exactly what I have going on and they will help steer me in the right direction. I have bought a lot of lumber from a lot of folks and it doesn't get better than this.

Great figured cherry and mahogany shipped across country. I had no worries about buying timber sight unseen. Thank you, Gus Halamandaris

I've been a long time customer of Irion, and even have had the pleasure of touring their facility. Myron and his crew are fantastically helpful, and their wood is stunningly beautiful.

I recently purchased a little under 100 Bf of matched cherry from Irion. I ordered the wood on a Monday and it was shipped on Tuesday. I received it on Friday. I was surprised at how quickly it arrived. When i checked the shipment, two of the boards had checks that looked fresh.

I made a claim with the carrier and also notified Myron at Irion. Myron's response was a case study in superior customer service....essentially his question to me was: "What can I do to make this right?" I do not believe that Irion shipped the lumbar with the checks and believe that it was damaged in shipment.

I was able to work around the checks and didn't feel the need seek any replacement material. The lumbar I did receive was amazing. I will be sure to do business with Myron again.

Very high-quality lumber, and excellent service. I have bought from them a number of times, and have always been pleased. They are honest, knowledgeable, and customer-focused..

I have been buying from Irion for years. Great wood, great service, always satisfied.

Purchased some nice 8/4 black walnut, worked with me to get the lumber I needed for a table I built.

A pleasure to do business with and terrific walnut.

Great people to deal with and an amazing selection of lumber. I picked up some nice 8/4 mahogany.

Very happy with my purchases of unique and special selection hardwoods - the professionalism and attention. Thanks Irion.

I have been buying wood from Irion lumber since I started my furniture business in 2001. They have a fantastic selection, are incredibly knowledgeable, polite and helpful. Lou and Myron are fantastic people to work with and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I've been a customer for several years and have always been impressed by the service...but I found Irion and remain a customer for their quality! There are other places to buy high quality material but none better!!!!!

I have purchased lumber from Orion a number of times. I've always gotten excellent service. As a buyer 3000 miles away from them personal integrity is of utmost importance. I need to trust them and they have kept their promises. The wood delivered has alway been what they described to me!

Great candy store! best quality and plenty of help and advice..... all quality lumber....with figure and widths not available elsewhere. You would not be disappointed here!

Top quality supplier of hardwoods. I've bought several large curly cherry and walnut slabs from Irion to make dining and coffee tables. They offer thicker slabs of 8/4 - 12/4. FedEx freight shipping if fast and reasonably priced considering the size and weight of the wood. Highly recommend.

Our company orders from Irion Lumber on a consistent basis and we have NEVER been disappointed. The lumber is top notch as well as the customer service being second to none. I can't say enough positive things about Irion Lumber and their employees.

Irion frequently has the most beautiful figured hardwoods I have ever seen or worked with. Their service is excellent and after ordering over a dozen different sets, every one has exceeded my expectations on quality and beauty. The only negative issue I have had is shipper damage which overall has been relatively minor overall.
