We are not the cheapest quote you will get.
Here is where the money goes.

The board inside a wardrobe, the moisture in its frame and whether the people who built it are the people who hang its doors. We save money on none of the three, so we will never be your lowest number. We would rather be the last one you act on.

The board
Marine ply, never MDF
The timber
Seasoned to 8–10%

Ours, start to finish

The material

Premium is a specification, not an adjective.

Every showroom in the city says premium. Almost none of them will write down what is inside the board. Here is ours, in full, before you ask.

  • Carcass

    01

    18 mm BWP marine plywood

    Boiling-water-proof glue line. A Kathmandu monsoon swells particle board and MDF until the doors stop closing. This does not swell.

  • Frames & legs

    02

    Kiln-seasoned hardwood, 8–10% moisture

    Timber that was still green when it was cut keeps shrinking after it reaches your house. That is why cheap frames open at the joints in the first winter.

  • Surfaces

    03

    0.6 mm natural wood veneer

    A real slice of the same log, so the grain runs continuously across a whole wardrobe. Printed laminate repeats every few feet and the eye always catches it.

  • Hardware

    04

    Soft-close hinges, full-extension runners

    Rated in tested opening cycles, not in years. The hinge is the first part of a kitchen to die, so it is the last part to economise on.

  • Finish

    05

    Hard-wax oil or fully cured PU

    It sits in the wood rather than on top of it, so a scratch can be spot-repaired in your house instead of resprayed in ours.

  • Edges

    06

    Machine-pressed, sealed banding

    That lifting strip on a five-year-old kitchen is a hand-glued edge. Pressed banding is sealed the same day the board is cut and does not peel.

Straight answers

What the market tells you, and what is actually true.

You will hear all of these while you shop. Some of them are honest mistakes. The rest are how a thin board gets sold at a thick board's price.

  • 01

    The myth

    Solid wood is always better than plywood.

    The truth

    Across a two-metre shutter, solid wood cups and splits as the seasons turn. Marine ply stays flat for decades. Solid wood belongs where it earns its place, in frames, legs and table tops, and we use it there. Anyone selling you solid panels everywhere is selling you future repairs.

  • 02

    The myth

    Modular means factory-made and generic.

    The truth

    Modular is a method of building, not a style. Your wall is never the round number on the drawing, so every carcass is cut to the measurement we take on site, in your house, with a laser.

  • 03

    The myth

    Veneer is fake wood.

    The truth

    Veneer is wood. It is a slice of the same log, laid over a substrate that will not move. It is how nearly every expensive piece of furniture in the world is made, because a solid panel that wide would tear itself apart.

  • 04

    The myth

    The shop down the road quoted half for the same thing.

    The truth

    It is not the same thing, and the difference is in the parts you cannot see from the showroom floor. Ask them to write down the board thickness, the back panel, the hinge rating and whether the edges are sealed. Then put their sheet next to ours.

  • 05

    The myth

    Good furniture should be ready next week.

    The truth

    Seasoned timber, a cured finish and a proper install take three to six weeks. Anything promised in a week skipped either the seasoning or the curing, and you will find out which one within a year.

  • 06

    The myth

    It is expensive.

    The truth

    It costs more once. Priced across the years you actually use it, a wardrobe replaced twice in fifteen years is the expensive one. We would rather build you one piece than three.

How it is made

From a chosen board to a level door.

Six weeks, and this is where each of them goes. If a step here sounds slow, it is the step that decides whether the piece is still square in ten years.

  1. 01

    We measure the wall you have

    A laser survey of the room as it was actually built, not as it was drawn. Floors slope and corners are rarely square, and both change the cut list.

    Day one

  2. 02

    You hold the materials

    Elevations to scale, the veneer and the finish in your hand, and a written specification with a price against every line. Nothing starts until you have signed that sheet.

    Week one

  3. 03

    Boards are chosen, not just ordered

    Timber is picked for grain and checked for moisture before a single cut. A board that reads badly next to its neighbour goes back on the rack.

    Week one to two

  4. 04

    Cut, and sealed the same day

    Panel-sawn to the millimetre. Every exposed edge is banded and pressed before the board leaves the bench, because an open edge drinks moisture overnight.

    Week two to three

  5. 05

    Joined, then left alone to cure

    Dowelled and screwed, never stapled. Sanded up through the grits, finished, and then simply left. A finish that has not cured will print every fingerprint for a year.

    Week three to five

  6. 06

    Installed by the people who built it

    Our own fitters, our own van. Levelled to your floor, scribed to your wall, and every door and drawer set by hand before we leave.

    Week five to six

We come back at six months to re-set every hinge and runner, because timber and a new house both move in the first year. There is no charge for that visit.

Behind the scenes

Cut, joined and finished by the same hands.

Most furniture companies design in one place and build in another. Anand does both under one roof, so the person who drew your kitchen is the person who checks its final drawer. Boards are cut, edged and finished here, then loaded on our own van and installed by our own fitters.

Ratings

What the houses say back.

4.8
from 4 recent homes
  • They walked us through the whole house on a screen before a single board was cut. The kitchen looks exactly like the render, only warmer.

    Priya Shrestha · Lazimpat

  • Our parquet was laid in four days and finished on site. Three years on, not a single board has lifted.

    Rajan Maharjan · Bhaisepati

  • The wardrobe was planned around our actual clothes. Every drawer has a purpose. That is the difference.

    Anita & Sunil Gurung · Pokhara

  • Beautiful dining table, honest lead time. Would have liked more fabric samples for the chairs but the finish is superb.
