About Us


Coates Walker is the combination of decades of environmental/health design and woodworking experience.

Douglas Coates Walker, co-founder and COO, started his woodworking and cabinet making career at the age of eleven working in the family's basement workshop and operated his own woodworking business since college. Doug brings to Coates Walker over 20 years of cabinetry and furniture making experience.

Karen Fleming, co-founder, has been designing environmentally responsible/healthy products for the past 10+ years, most recently for Stonyfield Farm, Inc. and Seventh Generation, Inc., two leaders in environmentally responsible and healthy products for people and the planet. She has an in-depth knowledge of the key health and environmental issues related to healthy living and a healthy environment.

Our proprietary HealthE Green design is the outcome of our in-depth exploration of the material and production processes that would yield cabinetry that meets our demanding standards for beauty, functionality, quality and authentic health and environmental benefits.

All of us at Coates Walker care deeply about what we do. We believe that every living thing deserves to live in a healthy, safe home.

We are members of the Vermont Green Building Network, Home Builders and Remodelers Association and Building for Social Responsibility.
