Welcome to the Blogs

A bit of a new discovery, CH Furniture offers a truly first class collection of handmade wood furniture at excellent prices. 

Its Vancouver dining table (72 x 39 inch) is made from 100 per cent reclaimed and recycled oak, previously used in flooring or furniture. A sturdy, attractive addition to rural kitchens or dining rooms, the natural grain of the oak is subtly enhanced through the build of the table – and the table is built to last. And, its clever “butterfly” extension (91 inch) makes for plenty of extra room.

Every so often I chance upon something to set even the most seasoned of bargain hunter’s pulse racing, and this dining set from Fantastic Furniture certainly quickened my heartrate.

Reassuringly sturdy, this solid ash table comes in two sizes (152cm x 90cm and 183cm x 90cm), is stained to a dark Wenge finish, features a striking concave shape, and has detachable legs to provide easy access and stability.

Offering a huge selection of custom and ready-made furniture crafted from wood sourced from sustainable oak forests across the continent, Wood Empire fuses its quality materials together with excellent attention to detail – and at remarkably affordable prices.

An unusually decent sized table, this Goliath Table from Wood Empire is ready-made, and made to the highest standard (its solid oak top is 4cm thick).

Finding good value doesn’t always mean a foray off the beaten track, and it’s worth remembering that Tesco has a very respectable furniture range that is ideal for penny poor pockets. Its new Spring/Summer collection includes a variety of good looking designs including this Honduras range - a simple, rustic, solid pine range, complete with waxed finish and contrasting black metal handles with optional studs. Prices in this range start from £34.97 for a lamp table.

Why buy a coffee table and a dining table when you can combine both in the form of the newly launched Flip Table from Flip Furniture?
