Unique Handmade Four Drawer Storage Unit/TV stand/Dresser


The carcass was originally part of a welsh dresser which was donated to me made from Vietnamese hardwood. It had no worktop so I hand crafted one from an antique Victorian oak table, again donated. I?ve hand carved 4 matching pieces, bevelled edges all round, stripped the dark varnish and sanded it back to its original grain, which I have retained and given it coats of walnut protective stain to match the drawers. Of the latter each of drawers have safety locks to prevent them from being pulled out fully, though they can be turned for making easier transport.

A lot of time and effort has gone in to making this eco project, and has been finished to a professional standard as you will see from the photographs. Though you are more than welcome to view it.

Anyone want to buy this ethically made up-cycled functional piece of furniture; make me an offer?


To be honest I need the money to raise funds to have private physio as it takes an age to get some on the NHS, don't get me wrong they do a wonderful job but monthly sessions is not enough as my physical condition changes like the weather. I'm having an epidural steroid injection in my lumber on Friday and need physio the following week so I can make it to see my Sister in Malta first week in August for her husbands 60th birthday.


I'm a proud man, and I'm bordering on begging, but desperate times calls for desperate measures


Yours appreciatively

I have been friends with this man for over ten years and have been a witness to his demise, his talent and enthusiasm still shines through all of his difficulties and bless him, when he is out of pain or it's relatively comfortable for him , he goes all out and tries to complete his various projects.

I know he has spent many hours completing this lovely piece of furniture and the money he wants goes nowhere near the effort and time invested, the pictures don't really do it justice and if you are tempted by them, go visit and you'll buy it!

I think it's beautiful, but just do not have the space.


Do try the shop on Dulwich Road - who knows..or .the chap under the arches of Herne Hill station (has a phone number now) - both buy furniture.


They might like bespoke pieces... finding an outlet would be ideal

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
