Coastwood is located in Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand.

Our NZ-made products are made to order from two main types of timber: New Zealand Pine and American Ash. Both have numerous colour finishes available and products with upholstery offer a multitude of fabric options. Ultimately, the choice between the two timbers depends on your priorities: if affordability and ease of use are key, opt for NZ Pine, whereas for durability and aesthetic appeal, American Ash is the preferred option. Rest assured, whichever timber you choose, you're investing in quality, long-lasting furniture. Also used are products such as plywood and MDF which are more suitable for the backs of units, drawer bases, headboard panels, and on some paint finished units.

Our imported products are made from a variety of materials from oak to rubberwood to metal and most only have limited colours/fabrics available. These are usually kept in stock for immediate dispatch.

At Coastwood Furniture we source all of our furniture finishes from Australian coating supplier Mirotone. This includes stains, paints, sealers and lacquers. All our furniture is either painted or stained using solvent-based products, with colours that are custom made for Coastwood.

Design-wise? Absolutely. But because our furniture is made from a natural material with a genuinely natural woodgrain, each and every piece has its own unique appearance. We make every effort to ensure that the images online closely match the actual finish of our furniture through photographs and rendered images. However, due to variations in lighting, rendering software, computer monitor settings and of course the natural variations in solid timber, the images you see online may not be an exact match to the true colours and texture of the furniture in real life.

To ensure you are satisfied with your choice, we recommend ordering free timber samples or visiting you local Coastwood stockist to view the furniture in-person.

All good-quality furniture made from solid timber needs to be carefully cared for and protected.

The best way to clean your furniture is to use a fresh, slightly damp (not wet) cotton cloth to remove dust or spills. Go over with a dry micro-fibre cloth. If you’ve never used coasters or do your dusting with commercial sprays filled with chemicals, you might want to consider changing your ways. Heat, moisture, silicone, candle wax, nail polish and pets can damage or ding your furniture. Direct sunlight should be avoided.
