Where to buy solid wood furniture in Singapore
1. Nichi Nichi
If you have a penchant for all things Japanese, you’ll want to pay Nichi Nichi’s website a visit. Solid wood furniture is meant to last you a lifetime, and the husband-wife duo behind the brand hopes for pieces to grow and move along with you and your family over a long time.

2. Timber Actually
Sustainably created and upcycled furniture? Yes, please. Created from angsana and tembusu wood, the furniture from Timber Actually is beautiful and also good for the earth. After trees are cleared for urban development, the team gathers logs, processes them at a local plant, and turns them into planks. Besides tables and chairs, you can get smaller wooden items like cutting boards and coasters. There are even ready-to-use planks if you’re in need of wood for a crafty project.

3. Wood Slab
Fuelled by the founder’s love for woodworking, the furniture at Wood Slab are absolute works of art. Wood is sourced from Fiji’s natural forests before being delicately processed in Vietnam. The result is beautifully stained and prepped slabs of wood which are then transformed into centrepiece-worthy dining tables, shelves, and consoles.
