Dovetail Joints on Drawers

Furniture, hand crafted by skilled joiners.

A joiner gets his job title because of his skills of joining wood – joinery. This doesn’t mean screwing it together – far from it. When making hand crafted furniture a joiner will use traditional techniques to form high strength joints, such as dovetail joints and mortise and tenon joints. These joints have been used for centuries. You only have to look at antique furniture to see how long furniture hand crafted in this way can last. How many pieces of melamine covered chipboard furniture do you think will still be around in 200 years time?!

Hand crafted furniture can save you money

Yes, hand crafted furniture does cost more than the poor quality machine made furniture. However, the benefits far outweigh the extra cost. In fact, when you spread the price of hand crafted furniture across the years of extra life you’ll benefit from, you will find that you have actually saved money!

Every single piece of furniture we sell is hand crafted furniture. We insist on using only the highest quality timber, selected for its beauty and strength. This is then seasoned, before being quality control checked and passed to our skilled joiners. The care and pride that’s taken in hand crafting the furniture is apparent in every piece; not only in its stunning finish, but when you look at the build quality of the drawers and backs it’s obvious that strength and longevity is just as important. This is only possible with hand crafted furniture.
