“I’ve learned that good furniture isn’t built in a hurry. And neither are good hands.”
Before joining Ashdeco, Tu Do worked in a large-scale industrial furniture factory. He later said leaving that world behind was “the best decision I ever made for my hands.”
These days, he specializes in pedestal tables and mushroom coffee tables - pieces where the balance between the base and tabletop has to feel absolutely perfect. Not almost right. Not “good enough.” Perfect enough that nobody notices the engineering holding it all together.
Around the workshop, the others joke that Tu Do measures everything three times before making a cut.
The funny part is, after the third measurement… he usually checks it one more time anyway.

Natural Wood Variations: Because every desk is handcrafted from genuine solid wood, natural differences in grain, color, knots, and texture make each piece uniquely yours.
Care Instructions: Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat, standing water, or harsh chemicals to help preserve the protective finish.
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 ($2,433.75) and our desk ($3,245.00), 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.
