Inside the Timber Painted family
This is the top of our range and the simplest story on the site: real wood. Every door is built from 20mm kiln-dried solid ash around a stable veneered centre panel, then hand-finished in polyurethane paint — or left as natural solid oak on the Brooklyn and Monroe. Frames run from the Brooklyn’s slim 25mm to the Rainey and Edison’s stately 84mm, with a fine 1mm chamfer painted through on every edge. Because the timber is real, so is the future: these doors can be sanded back and repainted years from now — a colour change is a decorator’s visit, not a new wardrobe.

About This Style
Everything else we make imitates this. The Timber Painted family is built from real wood — 20mm kiln-dried solid ash — and hand-finished in polyurethane paint, shown here in a deep forest green with brass bars, wrapping over the bed with matching bedsides and dressing table. For purists, the Brooklyn and Monroe also come as natural solid oak.
How it works: each door is joined from solid ash around a stable veneered centre panel — the construction a traditional joiner would choose, kiln-dried so it behaves in a centrally-heated home. Frames run from the Brooklyn’s slim 25mm to the Edison’s 84mm (tap the doors above to compare), edges carry a fine painted-through chamfer, and hinges are soft-close Blum. And because the wood is real, the paint is renewable: these wardrobes can be sanded and repainted in place, years from now.
Make it yours: painted to order — your designer matches shades at the home visit — or natural oak on Brooklyn and Monroe; ten Kronospan interior colours; over-bed runs, alcoves, walk-ins and corners, all built in our Wembley workshop.
Every solid wood wardrobe is designed at a free home visit, made to measure in North London, and installed by our own fitters with a 10-year guarantee.
