Store fixtures,
built in Toronto.
The fixture is
the salesperson.
A store fixture has one job: put product in front of a customer at the right height, in the right light, in a way that looks like the brand. The joinery, the substrate and the finish schedule all serve that job.
Leewood is a store fixture manufacturer based in Toronto. We build custom retail fixtures and display casework for brands, retailers, designers, and the general contractors running their build-outs across the GTA and beyond. Every fixture is drawn, cut and assembled under one roof at our 40,000 square foot facility.

Fixtures for a footwear retailer.
Display tables and store fixtures for a footwear retailer, built in our shop.
The right material for every surface.
Most of what separates a good fixture from a cheap one is the finish. We spray paint and lacquer in our own shop and match colours here too.
We work in high-pressure laminate and thermofoil for durability on high-touch surfaces, in natural and reconstituted wood veneer where the grain has to carry the brand, and in solid surface, painted MDF, and catalysed lacquer where the spec calls for a seamless face. Metal, glass, acrylic and integrated lighting come in through our supply partners and get assembled into the fixture before it leaves the floor.

From shop drawings
to opening day.
Drawings first. We produce shop drawings from your design intent: architectural drawings, a brand standards manual, or a sketch and a conversation. Everything gets dimensioned, sectioned and approved before a sheet is cut, because a fixture that's wrong on paper is wrong in the store.
Then the floor. Cutting, edgebanding and assembly run in-house. Architectural woodwork and casework are built to the approved drawings.
Then site. In the GTA we deliver and install, coordinating with the general contractor and the site schedule; outside the GTA we ship crated and ready to install. For multi-location programs we build to a fixed standard so store eleven matches store one, and we stage deliveries against the rollout calendar.
One shop.
Start to finish.
Leewood has been building millwork in Toronto since 1998. Retail is where a lot of our work lives, alongside commercial interiors and residential cabinetry, and the same standards apply to all three.
Because drawing and fabrication happen in the same building, one team is accountable for the result, from the first shop drawing to delivery.
Before you send
the drawings.
What's the difference between store fixtures and millwork?
In practice the words overlap. “Store fixtures” usually means the merchandising pieces: gondolas, display units, cash desks, wall systems. “Retail millwork” tends to describe the built-in architectural woodwork around them: feature walls, ceilings, service counters, fitting rooms. Leewood builds both, and on most projects they arrive on the same truck.
Do you work from our drawings, or produce your own?
Either. If you have a design firm and a full architectural set, we produce shop drawings from it and submit for approval. If you have a concept and a brand standard, we can develop the fixture design with you. Either way nothing gets built until dimensioned shop drawings are signed off.
Can you handle a multi-location rollout?
Yes. Complete rollouts for national retail banners are a large part of our work. Repeatable fixture programs are built to a fixed standard so units are usually interchangeable between locations, and deliveries are staged against the rollout schedule. Consistency across stores is the whole point of a program, and it is mostly a drawing-control problem rather than a manufacturing one.
Which materials do you use for store fixtures?
High-pressure laminate and thermofoil on high-touch surfaces, natural and reconstituted wood veneer where the grain carries the brand, and solid surface, painted MDF or catalysed lacquer where the spec calls for a seamless face. Metal, glass, acrylic and lighting come in through our supply partners and are assembled into the fixture in our shop.
Do you install, or supply only?
Both. In the GTA, our own carpenters install and coordinate directly with the general contractor. Outside the GTA, we ship the fixtures crated, labelled and ready to install, and work with your installer.
What's a realistic lead time?
It depends on the scope, the finish schedule and how quickly shop drawings are approved. Send the scope and we will give you a real date, not an optimistic one.
Where do you work?
Everything is built in Toronto. We supply and install across the GTA, and ship crated fixture packages anywhere in Canada and the US.
