After looking at furniture at a large mass produced Oak furniture chain i am pleased i waited until i had visited Oakay Direct, unbelievable difference in both the build quality and finish, possibly slightly more expensive as however worth every penny. I will be back for more. Could not fault the professional service either.

Excellent quality furniture and great customer service. Bought an oak bed and had made a cabinet for our hallway which is perfect and beautifully hand painted. Would highly recommend this company.
