What started with domino tables became a handcrafted lifestyle brand.
Anthony Lighthall is the founder of The Romel Collection, a woodworking company crafting custom home décor and event pieces—cutting boards, wine glass holders, serving trays, champagne walls, and more. What makes it special? Every item is designed with intention and built to last, just like the values behind the brand.

In 2024, Anthony’s signature domino tables earned him a sponsorship opportunity with a national tournament promoter from L.A. Meanwhile, his event rentals expanded into the wedding industry—leading to his upcoming feature in Chicago Style Weddings magazine for the Summer and Fall 2025 issues.

But this isn’t just about wood—it’s about wisdom. Anthony uses his HR expertise to develop interns, grow his team, and teach others how to own their craft. His business began with joy, grew through discipline, and now stands as a symbol of what happens when passion and purpose are properly measured and cut.

He doesn't just build products—he builds presence, pride, and possibility.
