The Ashley collection is a refreshing new addition to our choice of solid hardwood furniture. This contemporary styled living and dining room range is made of solid ash, a very clean light-coloured hardwood known for its shock resistant properties.
Quality features of the Ashley range include the use of ash panels to cabinet backs and drawer bases and the use of dovetail joints in construction of the drawers. The understated styling of this fully assembled range is completed with the use of simple, bright metal handles.
Altogether a very pleasing collection and something for the individual who likes to be just that little bit different!

It is a fully assembled range although some larger items such as tables may be partially dismantled to facilitate delivery.
Please note: Much of the hardwood used for furniture manufactured in Asia may be described locally as Oak. While its appearance, density and durability is almost identical to oak, sometimes this timber is actually from the Ash (Fraxinus) family. In order to be as accurate as possible, we therefore market this furniture as being made from Ash, even though the manufacturer’s packaging may say Oak.
0802 Ash Furniture Fact
One of the chief qualities of ash and ash timber is that it is shock resistant. This means it can withstand movement and vibration without splitting or cracking as easily as some timbers.
This quality meant that ash wood was traditionally reserved for making such things as wheel spokes for wagons and handles for tools such as hammers and axes.
Also as it can be burnt ‘green’ without seasoning or drying, it was also popular as firewood.
