Our very own Sherwood Collection

 

Having stocked our much-loved Sherwood furniture collection for many years, in late 2022 we heard the news that the owner was hanging up his apron, to retire and closing the Lincolnshire based factory, to retire.

Concerned at the thought being unable to stock our bestselling furniture collection, we took the leap and bought the factory. This felt like an exciting opportunity for Liv’s, Michael has always loved making things with his hands, and how much extra work could one more business be anyway?  

With the Lincolnshire workshop, came a small team of skilled craftspeople who have been passionately making beautiful dining, bedroom and occasional furniture for years.

Our customers love the Sherwood collection because it’s made from solid wood, responsibly sourced from Canada where due to the cold climate, the pine grows slowly making for an exceptionally stable timber. The result is solid furniture built to last - timeless pieces that age with your family and feel like an old friend.

The furniture-making world now our oyster, we realised having our own factory provided complete freedom. Allowing us to be creative and providing an opportunity to realise a vision for our customers, whilst still being very affordable.

So many of our now best-selling products started life as a sketch on the back of an envelope. Now a favourite on the shop floor, our Sherwood cross leg dining table started life when a customer approached us with a photo found on Pinterest of a similar shape table with metal legs, wondering if we could make it entirely from wood. And the rest, as they say, is history.

 We’ve introduced a range of painted furniture which is proving increasingly popular too, and sits beautifully next door to the original waxed finish. 

And we always love a challenge and are always delighted to discuss your vision, just pop in and chat to our knowledgeable team.
