Senior QC Inspector – Warehouse
Maxwood Furniture is a growing furniture company behind brands including Max & Lily, Plank + Beam, and Maxtrix. For more than two decades, we've been designing and delivering furniture for homes across the country—and our warehouse and transportation teams play a big part in making that happen.
