“I learned to read wood before I learned to read words. Some things just come first.”
Ngoc Vo grew up in her grandfather’s woodworking shop, where she was taught that the hands should understand before the eyes even notice. That philosophy still shows in the way she works today.
She’s the craftswoman behind many of Ashdeco’s tree bookshelves and wall tree shelves - pieces that require turning a straight block of wood into branches that feel naturally grown instead of artificially designed. It’s delicate work, somewhere between sculpture and stubbornness.
Customers often ask her how the branches end up looking “so real.”
Ngoc Vo usually smiles and says, “Because I’m not trying to make it look real. I’m trying to make it be real.”

This is not your typical "tree-shaped" bookshelf made of flat, laser-cut boards. Look closer at the trunk's texture and the way the limbs reach out: this is a hand-carved sculpture designed to bring the organic rhythm of the forest into your home. Each branch is a sturdy, functional stage for your favorite stories.
Carved From a Single Vision
Our artisans don’t just assemble pieces; they reveal the tree within the timber. Crafted from high-quality solid wood, this bookshelf celebrates the "spirit of the tree." We avoid veneers and engineered fillers entirely. Instead, you get the honest, continuous grain that flows from the sturdy base up through every branching shelf.
The tactile experience is what sets this piece apart. You can feel the subtle chisel marks and the natural undulations of the "bark" texture-details that a factory mold or a standard CNC router simply cannot replicate.
What Makes This Tree Different?
True Dimensionality: Unlike 2D wall decals or flat plywood cutouts, our branches have depth and character. They curve and taper organically, mimicking the way a real tree reaches for the sunlight.
Structural Integrity: Each branch is engineered to be more than just decorative. These shelves are robust enough to hold a substantial collection of hardcovers, trailing plants, or heavy crystals.
Seamless Integration: The transition from the trunk to the branches is smooth and fluid, creating a sense of growth and movement on your wall.
Fully Customizable to Your "Forest"
Every wall has a different story to tell. Whether you need a towering oak for a high-ceiling library or a smaller sapling for a cozy nursery, our team can customize the dimensions to fit your specific space.
Size & Scale: We can adjust the overall height and the reach of the branches.
Branch Thickness: Need a sleeker look or extra-thick "heavy-duty" limbs? We can modify the thickness to your preference. Please note that custom thickness or significant scale increases will incur an additional fee.

Styling & Placement
The Tree Bookshelf serves as a dramatic focal point in any room. It works beautifully in a home office to inspire creativity, or in a living room as a "living" art piece. The natural wood tones provide a warm contrast against minimalist white walls or deep, moody accent colors.
Honest Limitations & Wood Character
Because this is a solid wood product, it remains a "living" material. You will see natural knots, unique color shifts, and perhaps minor seasoning checks (small fissures) that occur as the wood breathes.
These are not flaws; they are the fingerprints of nature.
Installation: Due to its sculptural nature, this piece requires secure mounting. All heavy-duty hardware and instructions are included.
Care: Avoid placing the tree directly next to high-heat sources or in extremely humid environments to preserve the wood's integrity.
Furniture Placement
Position your furniture away from direct sunlight, or use blinds or curtains to reduce sun exposure.
Always set your furniture on a level surface to preserve its balance and structure.
Cleaning & Upkeep
Regularly wipe down your furniture with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as these can ruin the finish and damage the wood.
Weight Capacity & Use
Respect the recommended weight limit for each piece to ensure its durability.
When moving furniture, lift it instead of dragging or pushing to prevent surface scratches or joint damage.
Preventing Mold & Mildew
Quickly wipe up any spills to stop moisture from penetrating the wood.
In areas with high humidity, use a dehumidifier to maintain an ideal moisture balance.

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 ($1,650.00) and our tree bookshelf ($2,200.00), 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.
