“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 Expansive Wall Library Luxury Transform your living room sanctuary, light-filled reading salon, or contemporary library with this monumental handcrafted sculptural tree solid wood bookshelf by Ashdeco. Artfully hand-carved to depict a graceful, mature tree rising from an organic rooted trunk base, its sculptural boughs branch upward to support seven staggered horizontal floating timber shelves beneath a sprawling, leafy canopy. Designed to turn everyday literature collections, ceramic vessels, and treasured curios into a living gallery showcase, it infuses high-ceiling modern spaces with tranquil biophilic grandeur and architectural wonder.
Authentic Hand-Carved Solid Wood Craftsmanship Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood slabs, carving the sinuous fluted trunk, organically sweeping limb forks, and level horizontal floating shelf ledges demands master-level subtractive woodworking artistry. Running your hands along the silky timber contours reveals the rich grain depth, warm honey-walnut undertones, and substantial tactile presence of authentic wood. Every single bookshelf possesses its own distinct natural identity - showcasing continuous grain flows following every twist of the branches, 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, books, ambient humidity, and dust while preserving its smooth, organic touch.
Why Choose This Sculptural Tree Wall Shelving Unit?
Signature Sprawling Tree Architecture: Hand-carved organic trunk and branching canopy create an arresting botanical centerpiece that softens plain interior drywall.
Seven Staggered Display Platforms: Sturdy horizontal solid wood shelf tiers provide expansive, balanced surfaces for novel volumes, art folios, stoneware pottery, and trailing plants.
Fluted Grounded Root Base: Sculpted tree trunk base anchors securely to the flooring while establishing a natural transition from ground to ceiling.
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 suit your ceiling height and wall proportions.
Custom Dimensions: Need an extended branch width, taller ceiling-height trunk profile, or deeper shelf depths for larger folios? We offer full custom-sizing services.
Orientation & Finish Adjustments: Left-or-right trunk bend 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 branch curvature, grain swirls, shade depth, 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 branch span, 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 and branch wall shelving unit only (decorative botanical foliage, plants, and cushions are not included); sofa, pillows, ambient table lamp, ceramic pottery, books, woven baskets, leather ottoman, and area rug are sold separately.
Care Instructions: Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or soft-bristle brush along the curved contours and branch crevices. Promptly wipe away moisture to preserve the smooth protective wood 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.

Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as these can ruin the finish and damage the wood.

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.

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.
