“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.
A tree trunk climbs your wall. Four mushroom caps branch out at different heights, each one carved with fine gill lines on the underside. An oval hollow sits at the center of the trunk, open and waiting for whatever you want to put inside.
Our artisans shape every part of this shelf by hand from solid wood. The bark texture along the trunk, the smooth curve of each mushroom cap, the radiating gill detail underneath, the clean oval opening in the center. No two pieces look the same because no two pieces of wood grow the same way.
The hollow niche is yours to fill. The oval opening at the center of the trunk comes empty. Place a small succulent inside, a candle, a crystal collection, a tiny figurine, a framed photo, or leave it bare and let the natural wood grain speak for itself. The niche is deep enough to hold small objects securely and shaped to frame whatever you choose as a focal point.
LED lighting is available as an add-on option. If you want a warm amber glow inside the niche, select the LED upgrade at checkout. A discreet LED strip lines the inner edge of the oval, casting soft light that highlights the wood grain and turns the niche into a built-in accent light. Works beautifully as a night light in bedrooms or a mood light in living spaces. Prefer the shelf without lighting? It looks just as striking on its own.
4 mushroom cap shelves at staggered heights. Each cap extends from the trunk at a different angle and level, creating a layered display. Use them for small plants, candles, air plants, crystals, or lightweight decor. The hand-carved gill lines on every shelf underside catch light and shadow, adding depth you can see from below.
What goes into every piece:
• Solid wood throughout. No MDF, no resin, no particle board, no veneer • Hand-carved bark texture on the trunk surface • Radiating gill detail under each mushroom cap shelf • Natural grain variations unique to every unit • Concealed wall-mount bracket system with all hardware included
Fits more rooms than you'd expect. The organic shape and warm wood tone work in living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, reading nooks, and hallways. It pairs naturally with cottagecore, boho, rustic, and woodland aesthetics, but holds its own in modern and minimalist spaces too. Mount it beside a bookshelf, above a desk, or in a narrow hallway where a regular shelf would look out of place.
Handcrafted by Vietnamese artisans. Every contour, every carved gill line, every curve of bark is shaped by hand in our workshop. Mass-produced shelves imitate nature with molds and machines. This one is built by woodworkers who carve each piece individually.

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.
Comparison between Factory-made solid wood ($1,110.00) and our floating shelf ($1,480.00), covering lifespan, annual cost, restorability, and quality factors.

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.
