About Us
We are a family run business with an eye for quality, value and design. We are also very passionate about the environment and so make sure that all our operations in the UK and in India where most of our wood is sourced, are done in the most environmentally friendly ways. Our main source of furniture is made from Mango wood which is derived from the Mango fruiting trees after they have given their best harvests for Mango fruit.
"I just wanted to say thank you, I love the nest of tables which arrived a day early! What a fantastic service which puts other companies to shame as some won't deliver to the Scottish Highlands (even though we're on the mainland) or they charge over the top delivery charges. Well done for your efficient service and for the quality goods (well packaged to prevent damage too) Many thanks, Maureen (one very happy customer)"
"Sorry I wanted to reply last night but was so over the moon with my furniture I got caught in the moment. Feedback doesn't convey enough how happy I am. Your communication was amazing, delivery quick and stress free and the furniture is beautiful. Well packaged and fantastic quality. Thank you, S Mills"
We have been trading for over 23 years and in that time have gained a reputation for giving great, award winning service. Solid furniture with dependable service. Happy shopping!
Our Story:
2001-2009
We started as Homeward Bound and found ourselves in the downstairs portion of the old Methodist chapel on The Wharfage in Ironbridge. We bought the building and expanded into the upstairs space. We began purchasing Indian manufactured furniture from other UK suppliers and for several years slowly expanded our range. We quickly realised that to keep control of quality we would need to import our own products. We used a series of storage units to keep our imported furniture safe and dry but as we became busier we realised that we would need more storage space and our own dedicated shop.
2009-2021
In 2009 we bought the old Tourist Information shop and opened up as Ironbridge Furniture t/a The Ironbridge Gift Emporium which we ran up until 2019 when we decided to change direction and become just an online retailer.
2021-present day
We are now based in Southwold, Suffolk and running our importing business alongside our "handmade" side of the business, attending makers markets across the East coast. We also offer a range of our products to selected retailers in and around Suffolk.
