“Wood has memory. If you force it, it will remember. If you listen, it will cooperate.”
Before joining the workshop, Kiet Phac was a construction engineer who walked away from city life at 35 - a decision his wife lovingly described as “completely crazy… but somehow correct.”
That mix of engineering logic and artistic instinct made him the go-to craftsman for the most complicated custom sizes in the shop. Strange dimensions, awkward corners, uneven walls - the kind of projects that make most people scratch their heads for an hour before reaching for coffee.
If you’ve ever ordered a shelf with weird measurements and wondered how on earth it fit your wall perfectly, there’s a good chance Kiet Phac had his hands on it.

Transform an unused corner into a stunning architectural focal point with our Hand-Carved Solid Wood Corner Bookshelf. Seamlessly combining nature-inspired artisanal woodwork with multifaceted everyday utility, this space-saving unit turns your favorite books, ceramics, and indoor greenery into an elevated organic gallery.
The Presence of Authentic Solid Wood
Natural Grain & Knot Character: Handcrafted entirely from 100% genuine solid timber without synthetic veneers, proudly highlighting rich swirling growth rings, authentic knot eyes, and warm golden-amber heartwood tones.
Hand-Sculpted Live Edge Finish: Each undulating shelf contour and organic trunk support is carved and sanded smooth by hand, preserving the living character and authentic tactile warmth of real wood.
Why Choose This Piece: Sculptural Form Meets Utility
Corner-Maximizing Architecture: Specifically engineered with an L-shaped corner footprint to optimize vertical space while bringing an organic softness to sharp room corners.
Open & Concealed Storage: Features multi-tier open live-edge slabs for displaying framed art, books, and lamps, paired with an integrated lower cabinet with a metal handle for concealed storage.
Substantial Load-Bearing Strength: The thick timber tiers and grounded trunk core provide dependable structural stability for heavy collections and decorative pottery.
Ideal Placements
Living Rooms & Cozy Nooks: Fits seamlessly into empty room corners beside arched windows, linen curtains, or accent sofas.
Serene Modern Interiors: Complements home offices, bedrooms, and dining areas styled in Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, Coastal Rustic, or Organic Modern aesthetics.
Honest Limitations
Living Timber Traits: Because authentic solid wood naturally breathes, subtle variations in wood tone, grain flow, and minor seasonal movement are natural hallmarks of genuine timber.
Wall Anchoring Advised: Due to the dense weight of solid wood and vertical shelf height, securing the unit to the wall with discreet anti-tip hardware is recommended for optimal safety.
Custom Dimensions & Thickness
Custom Height & Corner Spread: Fully made to order to match your ceiling clearance, specific wall angles, and corner depth requirements.
Adjustable Slab Thickness: Built with a sturdy standard shelf thickness for dependable load capacity; custom thicker slabs for a heavier look or slimmer profiles can be accommodated upon request (thickness adjustments incur an extra fee).
To discuss custom dimensions, tailored cabinet configurations, or custom thickness options, 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.

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.
