“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.”

The Presence of Authentic Solid Wood
Natural Grain & Distinct Character: Handcrafted entirely from 100% genuine solid timber without synthetic veneers, proudly showcasing deep organic wood grain flows, subtle knots, and warm honey-amber undertones.
Hand-Sculpted Botanical Detailing: From the rooted base and curving trunk to the reaching twigs and delicate wooden leaf clusters, every contour is shaped and sanded by hand to preserve the authentic tactile warmth of real wood.
Why Choose This Piece: Sculptural Form Meets Utility
Functional Multi-Tier Storage: Features sturdy, leveled branch shelves engineered with dependable weight capacity to hold heavy book sets, stacked volumes, and decorative ceramics.
Architectural Focal Point: The asymmetrical curving trunk and sweeping branch canopy cast beautiful, soft shadows across the wall, redefining the ambiance of the entire space.
Grounded Base Integration: Designed with a sculpted root base that anchors firmly to the floor while the upper branches seamlessly mount flush to the wall.
Ideal Placements
Living & Reading Nooks: Perfectly positioned along an accent wall next to a sunny window, corner armchair, or entryway gallery.
Serene Modern Interiors: Complements home offices, bedrooms, and lounges designed around Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, Scandinavian, and Organic Modern styles.
Honest Limitations
Living Timber Traits: Because authentic solid wood naturally breathes, minor wood tone shifts, distinct grain variations, and subtle seasonal movement are natural hallmarks of genuine timber.
Secure Installation Required: Due to the dense weight of genuine solid wood and stored books, secure anchoring into wall studs or solid masonry is essential for long-term safety.
Custom Dimensions & Thickness
Custom Height & Branch Spread: Fully made to order to match your ceiling clearance, wall span, or specific shelf tier spacing.
Adjustable Slab Thickness: Built with a sturdy standard shelf thickness for dependable load-bearing strength; custom thicker carving for a bolder look or slimmer profiles can be accommodated upon request (thickness adjustments incur an extra fee).

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.

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.
