“I don't finish a piece when it looks perfect. I finish it when it feels honest.”
Hien Vu studied interior design before realizing she didn’t just want to draw furniture on a screen - she wanted to build it with her own hands.
She joined Ashdeco at 22 and quickly became the workshop’s best surface finishing specialist. When it comes to natural wood tones, she’s got the kind of eye you can’t really teach. Too much oil, she notices. Too little warmth, she notices that too. Most of the final finish coats on Ashdeco’s live edge pieces pass through her hands before they ever leave the shop.
Around the workshop, the other craftsmen call her “the eyes of the shop.”

Authentic Solid Wood Character Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood, this magazine rack highlights the timeless warmth and tactile richness of real timber. Touch the smoothly finished top surface to feel the authentic quality of true wood construction.

Position your furniture away from direct sunlight, or use blinds or curtains to reduce sun exposure.

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.
