If you’ve been following our journey, you’ll know that we’ve spent the last 10 years offering a completely bespoke, hands-on furniture service. It’s been personal, creative, and incredibly rewarding, but this year, we took things to an entirely new level.
We wanted to make the custom furniture experience easier, faster, and more accessible without losing the craftsmanship that makes our pieces special. So, we levelled up. Massively.

Custom Furniture, Now Even Easier
You can now shop directly from our curated online selection, but here’s the cool part: your order is still fully customisable. See something you love but want it in a different wood type? Prefer a more rustic look? Want the dimensions tweaked? You can request custom changes online or via email. It’s simple, seamless, and completely personalised.
Every single piece is made to order, which means we hand-pick the wood according to your exact style and budget. Nothing is mass-produced. Nothing gets pulled off a warehouse shelf. It’s crafted for you from the moment you place your order.
We Noticed the Same Problem You Did
We get it: life happens fast.
You move homes. You redo a room. You start hosting. You want your space to feel complete now, not in 60 days.
The reality is that most made-to-order companies work on a 6 to 8-week timeline.
We don’t.
Our Manufacturing Promise: Fast Without Sacrificing Craft
We aim to complete all manufacturing in 2 weeks, and we guarantee it will never exceed 3 weeks.
Yup. That’s up to 62.5% faster than most wood-crafting businesses.
And no, we don’t cut corners. We simply built a system that works smarter, not slower.
Nationwide Delivery Done Properly
Another big change?
We now offer nationwide delivery across South Africa.
For large furniture pieces, we use furniture-only transporters. These specialists have been in the industry for over 30 years. They don’t mix your furniture with general freight, loose boxes, or stacked pallets.
Your piece will not travel the nearly 1,400 km between Cape Town and Gauteng squeezed under random cargo. It travels in a dedicated furniture vehicle handled by people who understand the care your piece deserves. They also take extra protective measures to ensure a safe, damage-free delivery.
Special Love for Our Cape Town Locals
For our Cape Town customers, we handle the majority of deliveries ourselves. This means fast delivery, affordable delivery (capped at R450 per order), and free delivery for orders above R25 000.
It’s our way of spoiling the people closest to home.
We also didn’t want our national customers to feel excluded. So for deliveries outside Cape Town, we introduced a capped delivery fee. If the actual cost is higher, we absorb the difference because everyone deserves fair and accessible delivery options.
The Experience That Keeps People Coming Back
Shopping with us is cool because it feels personal without being complicated. You get craftsmanship, choice, and speed without losing that bespoke touch we’ve become known for over the last 10 years.
And honestly? We’re just getting started.
