About Harleys Rosewood Furniture

Welcome to our Company Information Page. Harleys Rosewood Furniture began trading in 1998 - importing high quality rosewood furniture into the UK for resale at sensible prices. Our furniture is still largely hand made by skilled craftsmen in Shenzhen in the Guandong Province of Southern China. Only the finest quality kiln dried Rosewood from Burma and South East Asia is used to produce our range of furniture to ensure the feel and look of quality in each piece.
Using the traditional method of Chinese double interlocking joints and floating centre panels to allow for expansion these pieces are extremely robust, despite their classic lines. Each piece takes an average of 8 weeks to produce prior to the lacquering process.

We offer a choice of colour finishes ranging from the natural colour - right through to almost black. These finishes are obtained by using Chinese Tung Oil Lacquer - which seals and protects the wood - whilst still allowing the beautiful natural grain pattern of the wood to show through.

Tung oil is resistant to heat, water and alcohol. The Tung Oil is applied 7 - 10 times to each piece of furniture - and the furniture is then placed in a humidity controlled room to dry and set.

Rosewood ( Generic Name : "Pterocarpus")

In these days where furniture is largely produced from laminates - and MDF - there are still, we believe, a large section of the population who appreciate the beauty and feel of solid hardwood furniture. Going on current UK prices - the high cost of production - and general market trends - these products are quite simply out of reach for most people due to the inhibitive pricing structure.

Our mission is to bridge this gap by making this furniture available to a wider spectrum of people in the UK at affordable prices. By dealing direct and minimising our overheads - we can pass on massive savings to our customers.

We import our customers orders directly from the manufacturer . There are no middle men involved. Most people would rather choose their own colour finish ( plus any modifications - to suit their own use ) which we are pleased to accommodate wherever possible.
If you have an existing colour that you wish to match, we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.

Viewing Facilities

We understand that not all customers will like to buy before seeing a sample of the product and with this in mind we have retail premises where you can view all types of furniture at your leisure.

You can even buy from stock if you desire, thus saving waiting time.
