Ballarat Furniture Company

From our first interaction with Peta, we felt our new project would be in capable hands. Together with Bill, we designed a legacy piece of furniture that will last for generations. Bill and his team expertly integrated our cherished old farmhouse table and created a larger stunning bespoke dining setting. We couldn’t recommend the team more highly and we couldn’t be happier!

FOREVER FURNITURE
I had both the good fortune and the privilege to discover the Ballarat Furniture Company a little over a year ago. Given that my grandfather was a fine furniture maker and my father a lover of fine timber, the showroom produced many exciting and appreciative moments. Since then, I have commissioned a large leather-bound Tasmanian oak armchair and very recently, my own library room, in matching Tasmanian oak.

I use the word commissioned, as Ballarat Furniture’s pieces are indeed true works of art. The company is a family affair with Peta and Bill ensuring that the journey from your initial inquiry through to delivery and/or installation, is informative, enjoyable, creative and worry free. Put quite simply, in partnership, Peta and Bill ensure that they deliver, as promised via their website, bespoke timber furniture. This was certainly my experience, with Peta ensuring that the armchair in their showroom, already elegantly designed and presented, was adapted for my personal needs and comfort and Bill, the moment I expressed doubt that my smallish bedroom could house a library, came up with a superb solution and design that included removing the soon-to-be redundant built-in robe and wrapping shelving around the cavity. The planning and subsequent installation, which occurred over two and half days and even necessitated some re-plastering, painting and relaying of carpet, was both meticulous and tightly organised. (Bill was still planing panels on site to ensure a perfect fit!) He can be well-pleased with his efforts, as family and friends who weren’t privy to the original bedroom, are still convinced that the library was always there.

I would strongly urge you to visit the Ballarat Furniture Company showroom and consider owning one of their pieces, however big or small. Forget flatpacks and timber laminates, as this is a wonderful opportunity to own extremely solid and beautifully designed furniture, lovingly crafted from responsibly sourced timber, which will last forever.

What a pleasure to work with Peta and Bill to achieve my vision. Bill’s attention to detail and expert craftsmanship is second to none and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you both for your professionalism and your flexibility in accommodating my never ending timeline blowouts!
