A Sneak Peek...
STEP 1 - INTRODUCTION
INITIAL DESIGN DISCUSSION
In the initial design discussion of building a custom timber piece of furniture, it is crucial to consider both form and function. The design should reflect the customer’s preferences while also ensuring the piece fits into the intended space. It’s fundamental to evaluate different types of timber, finishes, and hardware that will be used in the project. The designer should consider the manufacturing process and potential challenges that may arise. The design should be practical and purposeful, ensuring the longevity of the piece. Collaboration between the designer and customer is essential in creating a unique and personal piece. Brainstorming and sketching ideas at the initial stage can save time and resources in the long run, producing a remarkable piece that can be cherished for years to come.
STEP 2 - DESIGN
MEASURE UP & DRAWINGS
After the initial design discussion, the second step is to measure up the dimensions and create some initial drawings of the custom-made piece of timber furniture. This is crucial to ensure that the piece will fit perfectly in its intended space and meet the client’s requirements. The measurements must be accurate, and the drawings must reflect the agreed-upon design. Once the drawings are approved, the process of crafting the furniture can begin. Using high-quality materials and master craftsmanship, the furniture will come to life and be as unique as the individual who commissioned it. This step sets the foundation for a beautifully crafted piece that will last for generations.
STEP3 - BUILD
Construction of the piece
After the initial discussion and planning phase, we move on to creating a custom timber furniture design, drawing up the plans to more specific details. This step allows us to put together all necessary content and ensure that everything falls in place accordingly. By confirming measurements with the client, we ensure that their expectations are met and that our team can complete the construction process efficiently. Our experienced craftsmen use high-quality material to build a unique piece of furniture that will withstand daily wear and tear. Our bespoke designs are a true reflection of our client’s vision, quality craftsmanship, and functional aesthetics.
STEP 4 - INSTALL
SEE IT IN YOUR HOME
We understand the importance of delivering and installing the custom timber furniture pieces to our clients. In the final stage, we go through the process of organizing the delivery and installation so that our clients can be very happy with the results. We ensure that the furniture is delivered and installed in a timely and efficient manner. Our team of professionals work hard to make sure that the process goes smoothly for our clients. We take pride in delivering beautiful custom timber furniture pieces that our clients will love for many years to come.

True craftsmanship.

Couldn't ask for more! I was lucky enough to win some custom furniture through a competition on their instagram. Not only was the prize very generous but the quality and workmanship of our table & entertainment unit was more than we imagined! Thank you Chris & Team.
- Kate Stevens
I had my eyes open for the perfect table and had been looking for a couple of years and found nothing unique and edgy. Then I stumbled on an Instagram picture posted by an artist I follow and there it was. I am so happy with my new piece, it is beautifully hand made and has character. Most importantly I was able to decide exactly what size I needed so it fits perfectly in our home. I highly recommend 2nd chance tables - I'm just deciding what piece I can have made next !! Thanks Chris and keep up the good work.
- Wayne Burgoyne
I ordered a custom made entertainment unit from Kithe. Chris was incredibly responsive and designed a unit to my specifications. Nothing was too much trouble, even my somewhat confused and changing requirements were handled happily and quickly. The unit is beautiful, the Tasmanian Blackwood timber is superb and the attention to detail is remarkable. I could not recommend Kithe more highly. Great workmanship and professionalism. Thanks.

- Inkah Art
Could not recommend Chris and the 2nd Chance team more highly! We have used them for two of our recent projects and are beyond thrilled with what they made for us. Our custom built dining table and study bench/desk are stunningly beautiful, and exceptionally well made. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and everyone who comes to our home comments on how wonderful both of these pieces are! We look forward to having them make more things for us again in the future. Chris was easy to work with, and ensured our visions came to life. We are very, very happy customers! ๐
- Brett Hamm
Kithe were fantastic to deal with, start to finish. Responsive, helpful and, most importantly, delivered an absolutely outstanding product. We had a Lucy console made in solid blackwood (the first one in blackwood apparently!) and it is just gorgeous. We are beyond happy with the result. Big thank you to Chris and his team. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, high quality cabinet.
- Stephanie Bird
I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED with my beautiful new table and bench seat. It is such an elegant set and is going to be a much-loved heart and hub of every house I live in for the rest of my life. Amazing workmanship and wonderful customer service. Cannot recommend 2ndChance Tables enough. I will be back to add more to my collection!
- Andrew Leventakis
To Chris, Can't thank you enough for the stunning furniture you produced for us. The bar cabinet and dining table is simply breathtaking. We know the bar cabinet was not an easy piece to put together and had its challenges but your persistence to make it perfect was incredible. Thank you for making these beautiful items that will be treasured in our family for a lifetime. Cheers Betty and Andrew
