While we have many pieces on display for inspection and purchase at our factory/showroom, we would class this website as our “showroom”

No longer retailing, we’re again operating as a factory direct manufacturer dealing directly with the public where you can actually see your furniture being made. We don’t mass produce and we don’t hold stock other than our display furniture. Our factory is set up to manufacture individual items to order, this allows us to pay special attention to your requirements and control your job from start to finish. Bring in your own ideas, photos, floor samples etc or anything you think will assist us in creating the perfect furniture to suit your home.

Definitely wax off. Waxing furniture is an old technique using old materials. It is an ancient method of sealing timber, generally used today by backyard or semiskilled furniture makers who don’t have the ability, facility or skill to apply modern lacquers. Waxing pine tables can be acceptable due to its natural disinfectant qualities but its not acceptable on hard woods. Wax will cause the timber to harbour bacteria, trap dust and highlight finger marks and scratches. It has to be periodically reapplied, has a dull, lifeless appearance and it offers nothing in the way of protection to the timber. Food acids can and will attack the timber as there is zero protection offered by waxing. Once wax has been applied it cannot have a clear coat of lacquer applied over it, therefore wax needs to be reapplied for the life of the furniture. You should never apply wax over lacquer as some retailers suggest.

Furniture polishing is the final stage in creating beautiful, lasting furniture and is a craft in itself. Quality, modern clear coatings (single pack lacquer or premium polyurethane) are a substantial portion of the overall cost of producing high quality furniture. They offer a high level of protection from scratching, beautify the timber and are UV stable to eliminate yellowing of the lacquer, essentially the lacquer takes the wear and tear, not the timber underneath. It makes cleaning your furniture a breeze and can be cut back and refreshed after years of use to bring your furniture back to brand new.

The sustainability and eco-friendliness of natural timber veneers is very important to people these days. Natural timber veneers will ensure that our industry has enough beautiful timber available for our children’s children to appreciate. One solid timber table can equate to approximately 15 veneer tables without changing appearance, in fact here in our showroom the veneer tables regularly gain more attraction and attention than their solid timber equivalents.
