Meet the Team at Into The West: The Family Behind the Legacy

At Into The West, we believe that furniture is more than just a piece of décor—it's a reflection of the stories that unfold in your home. Our team is the heart of this philosophy, and each member brings their own unique touch to the business. From expert design to world-class customer service, our family works hard to provide exceptional service and products.

Get to know the McDonald family that has built Into The West into the thriving Western luxury brand it is today.

Jack & Natalie McDonald: The Heart and Soul of Into the West

High school sweethearts turned business partners, Jack and Natalie McDonald have spent the last 35 years working together, sharing a passion for furniture design. Over the years, they've raised their three children, Megan, William, and Baxter, in the DFW area, before recently making a peaceful escape to the lake and golf course. They’re still close to their roots in the Stockyards and frequently enjoy spending time in Cabo San Lucas.

Their love for custom design keeps them energized and connected with customers, turning a blank canvas into a beautifully furnished home. "Every home has a story, and we want our furniture to help tell it," they share. Their legacy is built on crafting pieces that fit perfectly into each customer’s life and home.

Megan McDonald-Shurbet: The People Person

Megan McDonald-Shurbet is a Fort Worth native and a proud TCU graduate, and she’s the glue that holds everything together at Into The West. As the International Buyer and head of social media, press, and customer service, Megan thrives on making deep connections with clients, both in-store and online. "The best part of my job is building relationships with customers and making them feel like family," says Megan.

Despite a busy schedule, she also manages to juggle being a mom of two under two—Jude and Poppy—while teaching dance, judging competitions, and even making guest appearances on 95.9 The Ranch. You can always count on her to two-step her way through the Stockyards in true Fort Worth fashion.

Will McDonald: The Handy Man & Laughter Maker

Will McDonald is the ultimate problem-solver and the source of much of the team's laughter. A history buff with a love for craftsmanship, Will keeps Into The West running smoothly by fixing just about anything. His love for Dr Pepper is well-known, but it’s his dedication to quality that keeps customers coming back.

From woodworking to finishing custom furniture, Will plays a crucial role in the business, bringing both skill and heart to everything he touches. He’s always eager to collaborate with his family and contribute to the legacy they’ve built together.
