Our story · since 2023

We built one wall the hard way. So you don’t have to.

Family-owned and based in Garden Grove, California. What began as one DIY wall in 2023 now hangs in 2,500+ homes and businesses.

How it started

One wall, built the hard way.

Vutha is a woodworker. In 2023 he built a slat wall at home as a DIY project. It turned out beautifully, and it took far more sweat, time and money than a wall should: sourcing the wood, cutting and finishing every slat, lining them up one by one.

That wall became the brief for Slats.co: real wood slats already on acoustic felt, sized to your wall and ready to hang. All of the craft, without the lost weekends.

Where it started: the workshop

Obsessed with materials

A furniture maker’s standards, on your wall.

Building furniture taught Vutha that the material is everything: how it’s cut, how it ages, how it feels under your hand. He’s never been satisfied with good enough, and neither are our panels.

So we chase the best materials we can find, down to solid American oak, solid American walnut and solid bamboo. The real thing, all the way through.

The people behind it

Family-run, from the first order to yours.

Paula, Vutha’s wife, runs customer service and operations. In the early days she packed and shipped orders herself.

Today we work out of a warehouse twenty times the size of the garage we started in. The approach hasn’t changed: when you message us, a real person reads it and writes back.
