Orpago made a custom designed TV cabinet from English pippy oak and ash for us. Tom was very responsive and helpful throughout the planning stage and we now have a cabinet that well exceeds our expectations - it`s beautiful and well worth the inevitable expense incurred in commissioning a bespoke piece.

We've been delighted with our table and chairs from Orpago. Tom spent time helping us decide what we wanted and was flexible and full of good suggestions. Delivery was slightly delayed by Covid-19 but well worth the wait. The table is exquisite and beautifully made, as are the chairs, which are the most comfortable dining chairs we've ever sat on. Both table and chairs have been admired and enjoyed by visitors. Tom's advice on size, proportion, wood type and finish were all spot on: exactly right for the setting.
