Whilst we do
not currently sell any
pine furniture, we do have a wide range of solid wood furniture, such as oak, mango and mahogany. Because pine is a softwood, it generally does not hold up that well in terms of retaining its fresh new appeal, whereas Oak, Mango or Mahogany all stand the test of time in any modern family home. Whilst its true that Pine is slightly cheaper than other hard woods, you could find yourself buying that same piece of furniture in a few years time, whereas with solid wood such as oak, it should last generations with proper care.
History regarding us and Pine furniture ranges and manufacturers
At Right Price Furniture we used to offer over 50 different
pine furniture collections, sourced from, at the last count, nine different furniture manufacturers and suppliers. Some of these companies, such as the little Suffolk-based supplier DFP, or Direct Forest Products, only accounted for one range – which in their case was the charming Radstock range in reclaimed pine.
Other companies such as PD Global are much larger operations and once provided no less than six of our solid pine ranges, five of which were also offered in Right Price Furniture’s own finishes. PDG also supplied four unbranded pine collections, this time of benches, tables, chairs and wall cupboards. A comparison of the size of these two companies can be gained from a brief study of their respective websites at dfpl.co.uk and pdglobal.co.uk.
By way of something different, there is an array of surprisingly good quality self-assembly pine furniture from our specialist supplier, Core Products Ltd. The image of flat pack furniture has suffered from poor quality materials and poorly made and fitted components, but Core is very careful to use only good quality materials and the highest standards of manufacture and construction for its ranges. One of its most popular ranges is the Cotswold range which, when assembled, compares favourably with many fully assembled ranges.
The company’s Lincoln range differs in having bun feet and metal handles. Mexican furniture styles seem popular amongst self-assembly furniture buyers and the coreproducts.co.uk stable includes the Amalfi range, complete with metal handles and hinges and the similarly styled Santa Fe range. One of the biggest selling of all Mexican furniture ranges has got to be the Corona range. Supplied from Seconique, Corona furniture can be found on numerous internet sites and amongst high street retailers.
Back to fully assembled pine furniture ranges and the last of the companies to supply more than just one pine range is Kettle Containers Ltd of Northamptonshire. Although the company is now changing its name to Kettle Interiors, its origins lay in importing container loads of furniture through the port of Corby. Its established ranges include the highly-respected Regency range of bedroom furniture and the Victorian-inspired Hampshire range, which has the unusual feature of ceramic drawer handles. Newer additions to the company’s product list can be found at kettle-containers.co.uk and include the Cottingham range in a simple, chunky, contemporary style.
The Sussex company CPW or, to give it its full title, Country Pine Warehouse, produces an enormous and diverse range of traditional-style products that are sold by type rather than in branded ranges. These include everything from chairs, desks and cabinet furniture to wall cupboards, plate racks and even plant stands. They hold a large selection of
untreated pine furniture. In keeping with modern times however, cpwfurniture.co.uk also produces three branded ranges of pine furniture.
The Rough Sawn range is split into bedroom and living/dining ranges and comprises some very attractive, roughly sawn, furniture that is just perfect for creating outdoors or frontier-style interiors. Its Provencal range is more refined and ornate, with unusual curved tops to many items. Closer to its Sussex roots, the CPW’s Romney range is a collection of charming traditional pine bedroom furniture.
