Pine furniture

Pine furniture has never been out of fashion and our ranges offer a choice of styles, prices and finishes to suit almost all rooms, tastes and budgets.  So if you're seeking pine bedroom furniture or pine dining room furniture and living room furniture, then we're sure we have something that will appeal.

Almost all our ranges are solid pine furniture and, whilst our prices may cause some to call it cheap pine furniture, we believe the quality is excellent and prefer instead to say good value pine furniture.

Many ranges are offered in a choice of several wax and lacquer finishes and some manufacturers, such as CPW and Devonshire Pine Ltd, will also supply untreated pine furniture for customers to complete in their own individual way.

Right up until perhaps the middle of the 20th Century, pine furniture was widely regarded as a second choice to oak furniture.  This is because oak is slower growing and more expensive, whereas pine was fast growing and could be cheaply imported into the UK.  This explains why pine furniture (now pine antique furniture) was found in the kitchens and servants' quarters of larger houses or in the homes of the less affluent.  But this changed in the 1950s and 1960s when heavy, usually dark, oak furniture fell out of fashion and was rapidly overtaken by the fresh modern designs and light colours of Scandinavian pine furniture and the pine furniture of companies such as the newly-founded Habitat.
