“People ask how long a piece takes. I say: six years of learning, and then however long the wood needs.”
Alex Nguyen never went to woodworking school. Everything he knows came from watching, testing, failing, and spending his first two years ruining more pieces of wood than he’d probably like to admit in public.
But that rough beginning gave him something valuable - a deep understanding of how different woods behave when pushed too far, cut too quickly, or finished the wrong way. Experience has a funny way of teaching lessons that books usually skip.
Today, he specializes in bathroom vanities and corner shelves, pieces that demand both precision and durability in humid spaces where wood has absolutely no patience for mistakes.
Around the workshop, people trust Alex Nguyen with projects that need to survive daily life, not just look pretty in photos.
And if a piece leaves his bench, chances are it’ll still be standing long after the trends around it disappear.

Transform your bathroom into a tranquil, spa-inspired sanctuary with our Organic Modern Live Edge Solid Wood Bathroom Vanity. Handcrafted from an authentic thick hardwood slab, this floating vanity celebrates raw live-edge curves and organic timber knots while providing a dependable, durable foundation for your bathroom essentials.
The Presence of Authentic Solid Wood
Natural Grain & Distinct Knot Detailing: Sculpted entirely from 100% genuine solid timber without synthetic veneers, highlighting rich linear growth rings, authentic knot voids, and warm golden-amber heartwood tones.
Hand-Sculpted Live Edge Contour: The gently undulating front edge and smooth slab face are shaped and hand-sanded to perfection, honoring the natural tactile warmth and living character of real wood.
Why Choose This Piece: Sculptural Form Meets Utility
Minimalist Floating Architecture: Wall-mounted cantilever design frees up floor space below, creating an airy, uncluttered aesthetic ideal for modern compact powder rooms and master baths.
Spacious Vanity Surface: Provides a smooth, level solid wood surface for everyday bathroom essentials while maintaining a clean, minimalist appearance.
Moisture-Resistant Protective Finish: Sealed with a premium matte, water-repellent protective coat that shields the natural timber grain against daily splashes and bathroom humidity.
Ideal Placements
Powder Rooms & Master En-Suites: Serves as a serene focal point beneath a mirror or alongside warm ambient bathroom lighting.
Serene Modern Interiors: Complements minimalist bathrooms, guest suites, and boutique retreats styled in Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, Organic Modern, or Modern Rustic decor.
Honest Limitations
Living Timber Traits: Because genuine solid wood naturally breathes, subtle variations in wood tone, grain flow, and minor seasonal movement are natural hallmarks of authentic timber.
Water Maintenance: While sealed against humidity and splashes, standing puddles of water should be wiped promptly with a soft cloth to preserve the natural wood luster over time.
Heavy-Duty Wall Mounting Required: Due to the dense weight of solid hardwood, anchoring into wall studs using heavy-duty concealed brackets is strictly required.
Custom Dimensions & Thickness
Custom Length & Depth: Fully made to order to match your exact bathroom wall dimensions, available space, or plumbing requirements.
Adjustable Slab Thickness: Built with a sturdy standard slab thickness for lasting load-bearing support; custom thicker slabs for a heavier profile or slimmer builds can be crafted upon request (thickness adjustments incur an extra fee).
To discuss custom dimensions, tailored configurations, or custom timber finishes, please Contact Customer Support for a personalized quote.
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 ($390.00) and our bathroom vanity ($520.00), 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.
