Your Furniture. Your Way. Every piece of Handstone furniture is handcrafted – BUILT TO ORDER. We want your new furniture to be perfect.

A FINISH THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME Handstone finishing process uses solar heat and co-generation of electricity to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions emitted. We recycle our solvents to reduce the waste that is sent to MOE certified processors, giving it a second use/life. The start of a great finish is the preparation. We painstakingly sand and inspect the raw wood with flat beam non-glare inspection lights. These allow us to catch any imperfections or indents before the colour application.

And we never forget that the only thing equal to the precision and accuracy of modern manufacturing process is the technique and attention to detail that comes from having a
