“I work slowly on purpose. Slowness is where the quality lives.”
Thac Huynh was born in Hue into a family with a long tradition of royal-style wood carving, and you can see that patience in every piece he touches. He calls it “being slow in the right places.”
He specializes in fine detail carving - especially the ribbed undersides on Ashdeco’s mushroom shelves, all shaped carefully by his own hands. Around the workshop, the other craftsmen joke that he probably counts every single ridge one by one.
Man Thac never argues with them. Mostly because… they’re probably right.
Detailed information about this piece — tap a section to expand.
Four mushroom caps cascade down a smooth central stem, each one wider than the last, like bracket fungi growing on the side of an old-growth tree.
Our artisans carve each piece from solid wood, shaping the flowing S-curve of the stem by hand and forming every mushroom cap with a smooth, gently dished top surface and fine gill lines underneath. The stem connects each cap with organic curves that follow the natural movement of wood grain, giving the whole piece a sense of growth, as if it shaped itself on your wall over time.
4 tiered mushroom cap shelves, graduated in size. The smallest cap sits at the top, just enough surface for a small vase or ring dish. Each shelf below steps wider and deeper, with the bottom cap offering the largest display platform. The caps alternate sides as they descend, creating a flowing zigzag silhouette that gives each shelf breathing room and keeps your displayed items visually separated.
Hand-carved gill detail on every cap. The underside of each mushroom shelf carries radiating gill lines carved from the stem outward to the cap edge. When light hits from above, the gills cast fine parallel shadows that add texture and depth visible from any angle below. This is the detail that separates hand-carved shelves from molded or machine-cut alternatives.
Smooth, sculptural stem. The central trunk is carved clean with a gentle S-curve, showcasing the natural wood grain along its full length. The warm honey tone of the wood deepens at the curves where the grain compresses, giving each piece its own color variation and character.
What goes into every piece:
• Solid wood throughout, hand-selected for grain pattern and warm tone • 4 mushroom cap shelves graduated from small (top) to large (bottom) • Hand-carved gill lines under every cap • Flowing S-curve stem carved smooth with visible natural grain • Gently dished cap surfaces to keep displayed items in place • Concealed wall-mount bracket system, all hardware included
Where it fits. Beside a window. Next to a framed print. In a reading corner. Above a nightstand. Along a hallway. The vertical, narrow profile fills tall wall spaces without taking up width, and the cascading shape draws the eye downward through each display. Works with cottagecore, Scandinavian, boho, organic modern, and rustic interiors.
Handcrafted by Vietnamese artisans. Every gill line, every curve of the stem, every dished cap surface is shaped by hand. No molds. No machines. No two pieces alike.

Craftsmanship vs factory
What separates handcrafted from factory-made
Both are solid wood. Both look beautiful in catalog photos. But the difference shows up when you live with the piece for 10 years and again when you pass it down.

Soul of wood
No two tables are ever the same
Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
