Our workshop
Made by hand, in our own workshop.
Every Arboriswood piece is built to order by our team in Bac Ninh, Vietnam, then shipped straight to your door.
A real workshop. Real pieces.
Our workshop sits in Bac Ninh province, northern Vietnam. Twenty craftspeople work under one roof, from the first cut to the last coat of finish.
We build to order, a few pieces at a time, so no two leave the bench exactly alike.
Nothing ships without your OK. We send you photos of your piece when the woodwork is done and again once it is finished, and it only leaves the workshop after you approve it.

Recently on the bench
Every piece is built to order, so the size and finish can follow your room instead of a catalog.
Here are recent pieces from our bench next to the designs they came from. The grain changes from board to board, so each one ends up with a character of its own.

“Good wood deserves patience. I would rather take one more day than send out a piece I’m not proud of.”
Workshop questions
Where is Arboriswood furniture made?
In our own workshop in Bac Ninh province, Vietnam, by a team of 20 craftspeople. Each piece ships directly from there.
Is it really solid wood?
Yes. Every piece is 100% solid monkey pod or oak, with no MDF or veneer. Read more in Our Material Promise.
How is the wood dried?
The boards are kiln-dried to around 8–12% moisture, then rest in the workshop for 5–7 days before we cut them.
How are the pieces joined?
Mainly with dovetail joints, where the wood interlocks, with no glue in the joints.
Can I see my piece while it is being made?
Yes. We send you photos when the woodwork is finished and again after the finish is applied. Your piece only leaves the workshop once you approve it.
How long does it take?
Building takes 5–10 business days, and delivery takes another 7–14 business days.
