I bought a large bespoke corner bookcase for my library. From discussing initial thoughts, to final drawings they were very helpful and professional. Yes build/delivery was slow but i was prepared for that (6 months). But the finished product is truly beautiful. The wood is lovely and the design even better. Some lovely details I didnt expect. All in all the nicest furniture i have ever bought. And very reasonably priced. Less that half the quotes i got for someone to build me library shelves but just as good, or probably better. Even the delivery people were wonderful.

Beautiful hallway stand and monks bench

I ordered a hallway stand and monks bench. Told from the outset that delivery would be several months away, but I was prepared to wait and was kept informed of progress throughout. The furniture arrived this week and they’re both exquisite and good value for such high quality craftsmanship. Would highly recommend AKD, and hope to buy more pieces from them in the future.

Exceptional Quality

I am absolutely thrilled with my bedroom furniture. Delivery was delayed, but it was so worth the wait. Pieces had a barley twist added as per my instructions, so that they could match existing furniture & they are perfect. Will definitely be much "go to" company, if I need furniture going forward.

I ordered a 10 seater Victorian dining table with specific and exacting measurements for height, length and width. Andy helped me with the details and produced a number of drawings until we agreed on the final specification. He was incredibly attentive, professional and patient during this time. I was kept informed during the long lead time to delivery and it arrived exactly when it was due. The table is beautiful. A rich light mahogany colour with extendable leaves and traditional legs. It looks fantastic and we’re really pleased with it and the whole process. Thank you to Andy and Isobel.

Brilliant Product & Service

I ordered a bespoke chest of drawers to both match other bedroom furniture we had and fit the small space available, as I could not obtain this from the company I'd originally had the bedroom furniture from. AKD Furniture advised the likely delivery time from their Asian supplier and kept us informed about the delays due to known issues in the Red Sea which was reassuring. It arrived this week and has been well worth the wait as the quality and finish are superb. I couldn’t be more pleased with it.

Very professional company (and delivery partner) with superior products

When we first began our search for bedroom reproduction furniture we visited the showroom of one of AKD’s competitors and unfortunately their range, although beautiful, didn’t come in the dimensions that we were looking for. In contrast, AKD could source their on-line brochure items in our modified dimensions for only a modest increase in price, using their ‘Bespoke’ service.

AKD were very helpful with advice and wood samples, plus, very clear on the timescales for manufacture in their Asia factory to shipping to the UK and we were quite happy with the wait-time which we thought was totally reasonable.

Communication and updates during our wait for delivery were very useful and essentially the furniture was ready for delivery on the dates they had forecast when we placed the order.

With delivery, their partner (Pinnacle Storage Solutions) was excellent, with real-time tracking and very polite and the professional delivery staff – altogether so much better than some other delivery companies!

Upon receipt, we found our furniture to be comprehensively wrapped and once unpacked we were hugely impressed with the quality and weight of the items as well as the skill of the craftsmen in incorporating our measurements whilst still maintaining the beautiful proportions and appearance of the standard design.

Would we use AKD again? Yes, definitely.

Hi Andy - thank you so much for your lovely review and we are so happy you are pleased with your furniture. it is also lovely to hear that the delivery company were so professional and kept you informed. We use this company as they are a small specialist company and know how to handle the furniture. We will certainly pass on your comments to both them and to our carpenters. We certainly take on board your comments about the larger samples and We have thought about making the samples larger, but at the moment with the cost of sending out 3 smaller samples each time being around £2.60 and realistically about 25% of the samples we send out become orders, the cost of sending out larger samples would be too much. However we do understand your point. We hope to hear from you again in the future. Many thanks Andy & Isobel

I ordered a custom-sized desk

I ordered a custom-sized desk, and I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. The quality is outstanding, with incredible attention to detail and reflects the pictures. The communication throughout the process was excellent, keeping me informed every step of the way. Highly recommend – the craftsmanship and uniqueness of their products make them a standout choice! Also if you opt for a custom size they are brilliant in their designing and the price is very reasonable for what it is

Beautiful sturdy cross back chairs

Beautiful sturdy cross back chairs. Very comfortable and well-packaged. A 6 month wait after my order but much of that was the journey around Africa! They are worth the wait.

Bookcase

I purchased a colonial style bookcase from AKD Furniture. The company were very helpful from the get-go, sending me free samples, to choose my preferred wood and making me aware of the time it would take to make and deliver the piece in question. They even provided me with a tracking link, to the ship carrying my item.

The piece itself is beautiful; the best piece of furniture I've ever owned. I highly recommend AKD Furniture, if you want furnishings worthy of a stately home.

You will not be disappointed!

Let’s set the record straight: if your furniture arrives in 18 weeks, consider yourself fortunate. In my case, it took about 28 weeks, but that’s not on AKD—it's due to various ongoing global issues. However, once my beautiful piece finally arrived, all the wait faded away, thanks to its exceptional quality!

I chose a stunning mid-brown country French bed, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. While I could have opted for something more modern, I felt this style complemented my period property perfectly—and I was right.

The assembly process was quite straightforward; I managed it on my own, though I’d recommend having a second pair of hands for ease. Isobel was delightful throughout the process, and I hope the photos I sent her make it to her website. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Corner Pedestal Desk

Bought a large corner desk in French white with green leatherette top - looks absolutely stunning. It took over 6months from ordering to delivery but we were expecting that and it has been well worth the wait. Isobel kept us informed of progress and we are so happy with our purchase. I would certainly recommend AKD to anyone wanting a quality piece of furniture. Excellent company.

Amazing cabinet

I ordered a custom built cabinet to fit an exact space. I saw an example of one I liked which I sent to akd. They then went out of their way to check what type I wanted, what style, the colour and even down to the type of handle and colour of handle I wanted. I sent them measurements and they sent me a few advisories as to what they felt would help. I asked for a mirrored back as well which they completed beautifully.

They then sent me two drawings just to make sure I am happy.

I did have to wait for it to be built and sadly due to problems out of their control it looks a little longer to be delivered than they first said but again they kept me in the loop at all times emailing me to explain whet wa happening.

I would strongly recommend ordering from them. It was even better that I could ever have imagined.

It's all about trust, really.

I thoroughly researched where I would source my new study furniture and from the earliest of searches AKD were near the top of the pile. With significant further thought and comparison on my side, and through direct contact with the AKD team, particularly Isobel, I eventually made my order.
The hardest things were not just buying sight unseen, but trusting a long delivery time from half way around the world of furniture not yet made at the point of ordering.
I need not have worried. In the event everything went seamlessly well and the AKD team were able to offer further information about how the furniture would fit into my 1500s Tudor house and even what staining and lacquering methods I should use to match the furniture with the room.
An outstanding service.

My beautiful day bed and desk.

My beautiful day bed and desk arrived today, looking great.

The design process was really straightforward and open to suggestions and changes. There was good communication and expectation management throughout, and while the lead time was quite long, they gave me the link to an app to track the ship, which was great fun!

Absolutely worth the wait for these great forever-furniture pieces.
