Pine furniture ranges and manufacturers
At Right Price Furniture we 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 account for one range – which in their case is the charming
Radstock range in reclaimed pine.
Other companies such as
PD Global are much larger operations and provide no less than six of our solid pine ranges, five of which are also offered in Right Price Furniture’s own finishes. PDG also supplies 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.
If that was too confusing, it is much easier to understand the line up from our other big pine furniture supplier,
Devonshire Pine Ltd. This company has its headquarters in Bideford, North Devon and is one of the only large-scale manufacturers remaining in the UK. Devon Pine ranges include the
Tarka range, which is perhaps the standard for contemporary-style pine furniture; and the slightly more ornate Old Mill range.
Both Tarka and
Old Mill ranges concentrate mainly on bedroom furniture, but the
Badger range, which features additional ‘flourishes’ to plinths and door panels, also offers a living and dining room collection. A new addition to the Devonshirepine.co.uk offer is the Chunky collection of pine ranges. The ‘standard’
Chunky Pine range comprises both bedroom and living/dining furniture and there is also a dark stain version called the
Chunky Mocha range as well as a painted range.
Although perhaps not as high profile as Devonshire, 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. 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.
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.
