“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.

Warm Mid-Century Elegance for Daily Rituals Bring classic organic charm and effortless organization into your bedroom or dressing space with this mid-century solid wood vanity desk. Defined by its clean rectangular silhouette, subtle brass drawer knobs, and distinctive angled splayed legs, this freestanding piece captures the timeless spirit of Scandinavian and retro design. It offers a dedicated, serene haven for your morning skincare, makeup preparation, or evening reading.
Authentic Solid Wood Character Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood, this vanity desk brings the rich texture and natural warmth of real timber into your home. Running your hands across the tabletop reveals a smooth, tactile surface highlighting authentic wood character: flowing grain patterns, subtle tonal variations, natural fiber highlights, and unique timber knots. Finished with a protective clear coat, it enhances the wood's inherent beauty while providing durable resistance against everyday tabletop use.
Why Choose This Freestanding Vanity Desk?
Dual Drawer Storage: Features two smooth-sliding drawers equipped with antique brass knobs, providing ample hidden storage to organize cosmetics, skincare products, jewelry, and daily accessories.
Ergonomic Freestanding Profile: The splayed leg design provides exceptional structural stability while leaving generous knee clearance below to slide any stool, bench, or vanity chair comfortably.
Versatile Living Placement: Equally suited as a dedicated bedroom makeup vanity, a chic home office writing desk, or an elegant console table for living rooms and entryways.
Customization & Sizing Options Standard proportions are engineered for optimal daily ergonomics, but we can easily tailor the scale to fit your specific room layout.
Custom Dimensions: Need a wider desktop length, a deeper work surface, or adjusted leg heights to accommodate specific seating? We offer full custom-sizing services.
Thickness & Design Adjustments: Modifications to tabletop thickness or drawer frame proportions can be customized upon request for an additional fee.
Natural Wood Characteristics: As a genuine solid wood creation, natural variations in grain texture, shade depth, and subtle timber knots are authentic marks of real wood, ensuring every desk is unique.
Leg Assembly Required: To ensure safe transit, legs may ship unattached and require straightforward assembly using included hardware.
Care Instructions: Dust regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Promptly wipe away cosmetic spills or liquid drops to 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.

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.
