“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.”

Living Arboreal Architecture Meets Atmospheric Ambient Illumination Transform your living room sanctuary, reading salon, or grand library with this monumental handcrafted sculptural tree solid wood bookshelf by Ashdeco. Rising organically from a rooted, deeply sculpted trunk base, its sinuous limbs spread outward to cradle multi-tier horizontal display shelves accented by hand-carved leafy branch tips. Concealed under-shelf ambient warm LED puck lights gently downlight your literature collections, ceramic bowls, and personal artifacts, creating an enchanting evening glow that transforms bare interior walls into an illuminated living forest gallery.
Authentic Hand-Carved Solid Wood Craftsmanship Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood slabs, sculpting the organic bark ridges along the trunk, sweeping bough forks, and level horizontal shelf joinery demands master-level subtractive woodworking artistry. Running your hands across the silky timber contours reveals the rich grain depth, warm earthy walnut tones, and substantial tactile presence of authentic wood. Every single unit possesses its own distinct natural identity-showcasing continuous grain flows wrapping through every branch junction, smooth bullnose shelf edges, and authentic timber knot signatures that deepen in character over time. A clear protective matte seal shields the timber against daily handling, books, ambient humidity, and dust while preserving its smooth, natural touch.
Why Choose This Lighted Tree Bookshelf Unit?
Concealed Ambient Shelf Illumination: Integrated warm-temperature LED fixtures cast a soft, glare-free downlight onto books, stoneware bowls, and sculptural decor.
Asymmetric Branching Canopy: Dynamic multi-tier shelf layout accommodates both upright hardcovers and curated horizontal reading stacks beneath hand-sculpted foliage sprigs.
Grounded Monolithic Trunk Base: Heavy fluted tree foot anchors to the floor, establishing low-center-of-gravity balance and seamless visual ascent up the wall.
Versatile Modern Aesthetic: Pairs effortlessly with Japandi, organic modern, wabi-sabi, rustic contemporary, and high-end residential interiors.
Customization & Sizing Options Because each tree bookshelf unit is individually handcrafted from natural solid wood, Ashdeco offers bespoke tailoring to fit your ceiling height and wall proportions.
Custom Dimensions & Lighting: Need adjusted branch spans, tailored shelf depths, or specific LED color temperatures (2700K-3500K)? We offer full custom-sizing and electrical tailoring.
Orientation & Finish Adjustments: Left-or-right trunk lean orientation, custom wood stain tones, or tailored matte sheen levels can be crafted upon request for an additional fee.
Natural Wood Variations: As an authentic hand-carved solid wood creation, natural variations in bark carving texture, branch curvature, grain swirls, and subtle timber knot signatures are genuine marks of real wood craft.
Professional Wall Anchoring Required: Due to the dense solid timber construction and wide branch spread, heavy-duty anti-tip structural mounting into wall studs is strictly required for safety and stability.
Bookshelf Unit Only: This listing includes the solid wood tree bookshelf, integrated LED wiring, and mounting hardware only; sofas, armchairs, coffee table, ceramic bowls, books, and area rug are sold separately.
Care Instructions: Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or soft-bristle brush along the bark grooves and branch crevices. Promptly wipe away moisture and disconnect power before gently wiping down light fixtures.
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.
