A Sustainable Vision
Across all timber products, our processes have been refined to ensure not only high quality pieces, but that they’re created in the most sustainable manner possible. All timber we use in our products is thoroughly tracked, ensuring responsible harvesting. We engage independent legal verification of all timber, tracking the individual forest of harvest, and much of our timber carries PEFC or FSC certification.
A fully natural material, timber is reactive to its origin and becomes all the more beautiful for this.
One of a Kind
Each timber piece features its own graining, knots and patterns that make it truly unique. These are considered features of a solid timber piece, and are to be appreciated.
Love Throughout the Years
Especially with high use pieces such as dining tables, the beauty of solid oak can come through the many imperfections it forms over the years. A patina will gradually form, and small dints and marks from parties with friends and family will only add to the character of your piece. Such is the longevity of solid timber, that a solid wood dining table may be the centrepiece of a space for many decades, its imperfections a reminder of the great times shared around it.
Renewal
At any point in its life, a solid oak piece can be lovingly renewed, giving the feeling that it has just been unboxed for the first time. Sanding and re coating will strip back a formed patina, can push past stubborn stains and give your piece a new lease of life. For more detailed renewal information click here.
Beautiful quality timber and excellent craftsmanship.

Essential Shelving Unit Oak - Large

High Quality!
The shelving unit is very sturdy and of high build quality. There is no assembly required and all joins are doweled behind the screw to maintain a high quality finish. It is full solid oak construction and will last a lifetime if cared for right. The "X" Bracing across the back adds extra character and sturdiness to the build which most other shelves at this price point do not have. I do recommend using some treatment product to prevent the wood from drying out over time.
My unit did arrive damaged which i am unsure of how as the packaging was great and showed no signs of damage. They offered to fix it but I requested a replacement. Chrisna was a gem and an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. I could not recommend RJ Living more as their customer service has been unfaultable!

Stylish and Functional
I purchased the Oak Essential Shelving to blend in with the Oak Entertainment unit for my small apartment. The shelving fits in perfectly whilst giving a feeling of “space”. Beautifully crafted, solid and enough shelving to display my nick nacks.
The staff at Richmond show room were very helpful and I’ll certainly buy from RJ Living again.

Beautiful unit
We are so impressed with this shelving unit, it’s such a solid unit and so very well made. We loved that it was delivered assembled. The only disappointing thing was the time it took for it to be delivered, but we understood this was due to Covid and just the way things were at the time. Overall, we highly recommend the shelves, love them!!

Beautiful shelving unit
Love my new shelving unit. I bought the small unit a while back and loved the quality, so I had to get the large. They look great together in my living room and I really love the solid oak construction.
