Solid Wood Furniture · Accra, Ghana
Furniture that gets better with time.
Solid wood dining tables, beds, benches, and bespoke pieces — built with genuine timber, joinery that lasts, and a finish that ages well in the Accra climate.

Most furniture in Accra is particle board with a laminate surface — functional, affordable, but with a lifespan measured in years rather than decades. Solid wood is different. A well-built solid wood table or bed frame doesn't just survive daily use — it develops character over time, can be sanded and refinished, and holds its structural integrity for generations.
We work with locally sourced and imported timber depending on the piece and the client's brief — sapele, teak, mahogany, iroko, Guarea, afromosia, and others on request. Every piece is jointed, not just screwed, and finished for the humidity and temperature of the Accra climate.
Solid wood commissions take longer than laminate-based work — timber needs to be selected, dried properly, jointed, and finished in stages. Lead times are typically 4–8 weeks. If you're working to a deadline, tell us early.

West African hardwoods from our recent commissions — sourced in this region, built to last in this climate. The timber is part of the brief.
Guarea thompsonii
Guarea
A fine-grained West African hardwood with a rich warm mahogany-like tone and naturally interlocked grain. Highly workable and one of the best African species for decorative carving — used here for the wave-carved chest of drawers in the Nadia Dome commission.

Pericopsis elata
Afromosia
A premium West African hardwood with natural oil content, fine grain, and a warm honey tone. Highly durable, stable in humid climates, and an exceptional finish timber. Used in this live-edge commission for a private residence in Ridge, Accra.

Tarrietia utilis
Hyedua
Dense and heavy with a naturally deep, warm tone and tight even grain. Takes a dark stain evenly and richly — ideal for dining sets, console pieces, and full room commissions where a unified premium finish across multiple pieces is the brief.
See the projectSolid wood takes longer. That's part of the point. We select the timber, dry it properly, joint it, and finish it in stages — because the result is furniture that belongs to your home for decades, not years.

Solid wood commissions start with a conversation about the piece, the timber, and the space it's going into. Even a rough idea is enough to get started.
