Happy Clients

Hear from our clients about their experience with our bespoke furniture.

“I’m so thrilled with my new furniture. I didn’t really know what I wanted and Richard did a great job of turning my rough ideas into proper designs. The cabinets and desk have all been installed beautifully, which was challenging in itself given the quirks of our home. Thank you, Richard!”
— Alice
“Richard built and installed a desk, shelving and storage for my home office and a workbench with tool storage as well. Really high-quality work and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.”
— Andy
 
“The installation was excellent - care taken of our house, done within a day, and all tided up afterwards. And then there’s the shelves themselves - fantastic quality, impeccable detailing, and enough strength to hold all our weighty books. I can’t recommend Milkwood highly enough, and we’ll gladly commission them again when we need more bookshelves at some point. Thank you so much again!”
— -Jono
“Richard built floating shelves and a mantle as seen in the photos. We were extremely impressed with his attention to detail, and he consulted us at every step. He was able to beautifully fit the shelves to our wonky alcoves. We are very pleased and would work with Richard again.”
— Deanna

FAQ’s

  • At Milkwood, we specialise in creating fully bespoke, made-to-measure furniture. This includes alcoves, media units, office furniture, and storage solutions. Every piece is designed specifically for your home or workspace in Kent and the South East.

  • We like to keep things simple. First, get in touch and we’ll arrange an initial telephone call to understand your project and answer any early questions. After that, we’ll book a consultation, either in person or online, where we talk through your space, requirements, and style. We then create design sketches and provide a detailed quote. Once you approve, we craft your furniture in our workshop and install it in your home.

  • We are based in Kent but also work across the South East and London. If you are further away, just ask and we can see how we can help.

  • It depends on the size and complexity of your project, as well as the materials selected. During our consultation, we will give you a realistic timeline for your furniture, so you always know what to expect.

  • We use high-quality, sustainable timbers and wood veneers along with premium panel products. We source responsibly, including FSC-certified timber, and our finishes are built to last. Every material is chosen to look beautiful and stand the test of time.

  • Absolutely. One of the benefits of bespoke furniture is that we can match your current décor, finishes, and furniture so everything flows beautifully together.
