“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 Forest Architecture Meets Dedicated Reading Nook Sanctuary Immerse your living room salon, open library, or sun-drenched bedroom suite in pure tranquility with this monumental handcrafted sculptural tree solid wood bookshelf and integrated reading bench by Ashdeco. Characterized by its deeply fluted, organic tree trunk base that rises seamlessly from the floor and branches across the wall, this architectural statement piece harmoniously unifies an expansive literature gallery with a low-profile contoured seating bench. Topped with hand-sculpted leafy branch canopies that frame multi-tier cantilevered shelves, it creates an immersive biophilic oasis where curling up with your favorite book feels like resting under an ancient forest canopy.
Authentic Hand-Carved Solid Wood Craftsmanship Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood slabs, shaping the deep bark ridges along the rooted trunk, fluid branch bifurcations, and the sweeping curve of the low seating bench demands master-level subtractive woodworking artistry. Running your hands across the silky timber contours reveals the rich grain depth, light natural honey-oak undertones, and substantial tactile presence of authentic wood. Every single unit possesses its own distinct natural identity-showcasing continuous grain flows following every twist of the limbs, soft 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, book slide friction, ambient humidity, and dust while preserving its smooth, organic feel.
Why Choose This Tree Bookshelf with Reading Bench?
Integrated Sinuous Reading Bench: Low-profile sculpted timber bench provides a dedicated resting perch for lounging, reading, or displaying accent pillows.
Hand-Sculpted Leafy Canopy Tips: Delicate carved botanical sprigs extend outward to create an enchanting organic silhouette that softens linear walls.
Grounded Monolithic Stability: Heavy solid timber base anchors firmly 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, Scandinavian, and contemporary minimalist luxury 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 & Seating Length: Need an extended bench platform, deeper shelf depths for larger folios, or tailored branch clearance? We offer full custom-sizing services.
Orientation & Finish Adjustments: Left-or-right trunk bend orientation, custom wood stain tones (such as rich walnut or weathered espresso), 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 expansive upper branch reach, heavy-duty anti-tip structural mounting into wall studs is strictly required for safety and stability.
Bench & Bookshelf Unit Only: This listing includes the solid wood tree bookshelf structure with integrated wooden bench base only; seat cushion, pillows, ceramic pottery, books, armchair, potted plants, 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 forks. Promptly wipe away moisture to preserve the smooth protective wood finish.

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.
