Material selection
Timber is chosen board by board and moisture-checked before it reaches the saw. Warped or knotted stock is rejected at intake.
Our workshop
No importing, no white-labelling. Cutting, joinery, finishing and upholstery all happen on one floor in Johannesburg.
Our craftsmanship
We started in 2014 with two workbenches and a single delivery bakkie. Today a team of 24 craftsmen build every sofa frame, headboard and dining table we sell — under one roof, where we can put our name on the joinery.
Timber is chosen board by board and moisture-checked before it reaches the saw. Warped or knotted stock is rejected at intake.
Frames are cut to the millimetre and joined with glued, screwed and dowelled joints — never staples alone.
Three sanding passes before stain or paint, then a hand-applied sealer that brings out the grain and protects the surface.
Every piece is loaded, levelled and inspected against the order sheet before it is wrapped for delivery.
The process
Four stages, each with a check that has to pass before the piece moves on.

Equipment
Breaks sheet stock down square and repeatably — the reference cut every other dimension follows.
Brings rough timber to a consistent thickness so frames sit flat.
Enclosed finishing bay keeps dust out of wet stain and sealer.
Foam cutting, webbing and fabric work done in-house rather than subcontracted.
Materials
We name the material on every quote. No vague 'wood effect' descriptions.
Solid Pine
Light, affordable and takes stain well. Our most-ordered timber.
Solid Oak
Dense, hard-wearing and strongly grained. Best for tables and heavy use.
Meranti
Stable hardwood with a warm red tone. Good for larger frames.
Reclaimed Timber
Character-rich boards with visible history. Each piece varies.
Powder-coated Black
Matt black steel frames and legs. Our standard.
Powder-coated White
Clean white steel for lighter rooms.
Raw Steel, Sealed
Industrial mill finish with a clear protective coat.
Weave Linen
Textured upholstery-grade linen blend. Breathable, matt.
Velvet
Dense pile with a soft sheen. Rich colour depth.
Genuine Leather
Full-grain hide that patinas with use.
Performance Weave
Tight synthetic weave for high-traffic and family homes.
Quality control
Most furniture faults are decided long before the finish goes on. These are the points where we stop and check rather than carry on.
Timber moisture-checked at intake; warped or knotted stock rejected
Frames squared and levelled before any finish is applied
Every joint glued, screwed and dowelled — never stapled alone
Three sanding passes before stain or paint
Drawers and doors cycled by hand to check alignment
Final inspection against the order sheet before wrapping
