Rubberwood is probably one of the most ecologically friendly woods. The rubberwood tree has a lifespan of 26 - 30 years, it produces all the worlds latex. They are only used for furniture when it has reached the end of it's life and then a new one is planted in it's place.

Oak furniture are generally lightly stained to achieve their colour with the beautiful grain shown through.

We have chosen to sell pine furniture that is chunky and sturdy. The pine wood used is the best quality pine which is extra thick and strong. Ensuring over time you pine furniture will still look beautiful. Wenge Wood Wenge is a highly exotic tropical hardwood from Africa. It is very dense, and is very dark brown in color, it appears almost black. On the quarter sawn surface, fine pencil-thin light tan lines interspersed with blackish brown stripes make the surface appear like it has been stroked by the fine claws of a wild tiger. On the tangential surface, the light lines show up as undulating streaks, like waves on the water. Wenge furniture is highly distinctive and can form the basis of a great dinner conversation!
