And the award for the wierdest item of furniture goes to...

All mirrored furniture matches really, but sometimes it's nice to know that your pieces are meant to be together. So here's the low down on our handles.

So what’s with the outdoor images?

Well, for a start off it’s in our name.  If you start something you’ve gotta finish, right? Well when we started out we didn’t have anywhere sensible to photograph our mirrored furniture, so we took the first bits and pieces out into the garden where it didn’t reflect our somewhat questionable interior surroundings.  If you look closely at the images you will see some of our original products – the mirrored chest and bedsides pictured in front of a green fence, with sheds, bird feeders and goodness knows what in the back ground. When we moved into sensible premises we decided it was best to continue to photograph outside for the reasons outlined below.
