Sydney Retailer Offers Custom Timber Furniture Built from Ethically Sourced Australian Wood
Manly Vale, Australia – May 14, 2026 / Chocolate Wood /
Chocolate Wood, a handcrafted timber furniture retailer based in Manly Vale, Sydney, has launched a nationwide custom order service that allows customers anywhere in Australia to specify timber species, dimensions, and finish for made-to-order pieces across living, dining, bedroom, and outdoor categories. The expansion of the service marks a shift from the company’s original showroom-focused model to a broader direct-to-consumer offering with delivery across the country.
A Service Built Around Specification, Not Selection
Where most furniture retailers ask customers to choose from a fixed catalogue, Chocolate Wood is structured differently. The new custom order process gives buyers direct input over the materials and measurements that define each piece. Customers can select from timbers including Tassie oak and mango wood, both sourced through ethically verified supply chains, and specify dimensions suited to their space rather than adapting their space to standard sizing.
The company’s Manly Vale showroom continues to serve as the physical touchpoint for customers in greater Sydney, where pieces can be viewed and materials handled before an order is placed. For customers outside Sydney, the Chocolate Wood website supports the full custom order process, including timber selection and finish specification.
Sustainable Wood Furniture as a Structural Commitment
Chocolate Wood’s use of sustainable wood furniture materials is not positioned as a premium add-on but as a baseline requirement across the range. All solid timbers used in production are sourced with attention to origin and supply chain ethics, a consideration that has become more relevant as consumers apply greater scrutiny to how furniture is made and where materials come from.
Tassie oak, sourced from managed forests in Tasmania, and mango wood, a byproduct timber from fruit plantation cycles, form the core of the material offering. Both are finished by hand to order, meaning no two pieces are treated as interchangeable production units. Each item is finished after an order is placed, which eliminates overproduction and reduces unsold inventory waste.
“We introduced the nationwide custom order service because more than 40 percent of our online inquiries were coming from outside New South Wales, and those customers deserved the same ability to specify exactly what they wanted as someone walking into our Manly Vale showroom,” said the Founder of Chocolate Wood.
Australian Designer Furniture Without the Wholesale Markup
The business model at Chocolate Wood bypasses the typical wholesale-to-retail chain, which allows the company to apply craft and material standards associated with Australian designer furniture while keeping pricing closer to what a direct relationship between maker and buyer can support. Pieces are not mass-produced offshore and imported; they are built from solid timber to individual specifications.
The range covers four primary categories: living room pieces including coffee tables and shelving, dining furniture, bedroom items, and outdoor-rated pieces built from timbers suited to Australian conditions. Custom timber furniture Sydney customers have ordered through the showroom has historically included bespoke dining tables sized for non-standard dining rooms and platform beds built to heights not available through mainstream retailers.
Nationwide Delivery Paired With Local Craft Standards
Chocolate Wood has confirmed that nationwide delivery logistics are in place to support the expanded custom order service. Delivery timelines vary depending on the complexity of the specification and the timber selected, with standard lead times communicated at the point of order. The company has not published flat-rate shipping pricing, as delivery costs are calculated based on size and destination at checkout.
The Manly Vale showroom remains open for customers who want to see the current collection in person before committing to a custom specification. The showroom stocks a selection of ready-to-ship pieces across all four categories for buyers who need shorter lead times than a fully custom build requires.
