“The live edge is the tree's last signature. I make sure it is always the first thing you see.”
Tuan Tran is the workshop’s live edge specialist - the man responsible for shaping the edges on almost every floating shelf that leaves Ashdeco.
He’s the kind of craftsman who can apparently tell the difference between Burmese teak and Indonesian teak just from the smell while cutting it. Nobody in the shop is entirely sure how that’s even possible, and honestly, nobody wants to argue with him about it either.
Mostly because Tuan Tran is almost always right.
What everyone does understand is this: when a piece comes through his hands, the live edge never feels decorative or forced. It feels natural, like the tree itself decided where the final line should be.

A Note on Individuality
Every piece is handcrafted specifically for you, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind creation. Because we work exclusively with solid natural wood, the unique differences in grain, texture, and color are part of the artisanal process—making your shelf a unique masterpiece that no one else possesses.
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.
Shipping Cost
We offer free shipping on all orders.
Return Policy
You can return your item within 30 days of the delivery date.
Products must be damaged or broken, in their original condition, and have all tags still attached.
Please Note: Returns are only accepted for items with manufacturer defects or those damaged during shipping.
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 ($1,175.25) and our wall floating shelf ($1,567.00), 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.
