Stuart fitted our kitchen for us earlier this year after we initially discovered him when he fitted some beautiful reclaimed timber alcove shelving.
His meticulous nature and eye for detail means we now have a perfectly crafted kitchen, designed to use every inch of space and to fulfil our needs.
Stuart has an excellent team of tradesmen and his project management skills kept things running smoothly.
No query was too trivial, no change too much trouble and we were kept updated at all times.
We cannot recommend Stuart & Stump Furniture highly enough – Thanks a million!

We have used Stump Furniture for our fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobe and a couple of self designed tables and storage boxes and we could not have been happier. No matter how much we fuss, question or ask of Stuart he has always been absolutely spot on with his advice, furniture design, ethics, craftsmanship and reliability. He has never let us down and has always exceeded our expectations. That's why we always come to him first.

Hi Stuart I got the furniture yesterday and I am so so so pleased with it . I was so excited when I saw them! They are both really beautiful and lovely to touch aswell. It's so lovely to have something that has not only been made with reclaimed materials but with such craftsmanship especially in an age of mass production. They will be treasured. Thank you so much I am so glad that I found your website!
Kind regards Chiara Jones

Dear Stuart,
Just a short note to thank you for oak bookshelves and sideboard; the three pieces that we ordered were beautifully designed, solidly constructed and artfully finished. We are particularly delighted with the sideboard; the wood practically glows from the attention it has received.
You clearly have an eye for design and a passion for your work, and I would recommend Stump to anyone looking for bespoke furniture.
Many thanks,
Liz

Hi Stuart,
Thank you for the two chest of draws that were delivered today. Although we live a few hundred miles away from Stump Furniture the communication we recieved from the outset installed me with faith that I would recieve a fantastic finished product. Delivery was very reasonably priced, taking into account the distance and like expected the chests are exactly what we wanted. Thank you again for the personal service and beautiful furniture that we received.
Kind regards Karen O'Donoghue

Hello Stuart,
Got back Monday and have now unpacked and positioned the furniture in the house.
I cannot tell you how pleased my wife and i are.
They are beautiful not only to the eye but also the wood used just fits in; in style and character, with all the other wooden items in the house.
Once again many thanks
I will not hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends.
All the best

Dear Stuart,
All in all, very satisfied with the thoroughnes & flexibility of the planning, plus the detail in the design and build to get a very smooth install and the overall quality and look of the finished piece. We stood in the finished kitchen and felt it was too good to actually use and risk spoiling!

Hi Stuart.
The table really does look amazing, I'm going to have to raise my game for the rest of the room now! We had a big party this weekend and everyone was commenting on it. The bedside tables are absolutely perfect as well - ideal for the room they are in, and they match really nicely with the bed and the dressing table I have in there too.
So, all in all, a huge success! We do not have any more imminent plans for further wooden furniture construction, but if we do (or if our friends do), you'll be top of the list.
Thanks,
Olivia

We love our chest of drawers - made from timber reclaimed from a demolished school in Leeds. Building our drawers to our own design, Stuart demonstrated that he is a true craftsman!

“Hi Stuart
Just wanted to say how thoroughly chuffed we are with our new ‘reclaimed timber’ TV unit, it’s quite clear how much pride you take in your work, it looks fantastic. Plus not only is the finished product of the highest standard, the design assistance and overall service offered, was also excellent and friendly. We will definitely be placing further orders along the line, and will happily recommend your work to family and friends. Thanks again, Paul and Carmen.”
Cheers,
Paul

Dear Stuart
I am writing to say how pleased we are with our new kitchen. Like any new project it took a lot of research but in this case I also needed a leap of faith to buy a kitchen I couldn’t see over the internet.
If anyone is considering doing the same then I would have no hesitation in recommending your workmanship as the one thing they wouldn’t need to worry about is the ‘feel’, sizing or functionality of what you have put together. The overall quality is as good as, if not better than, the top of the range products in kitchen showrooms.
The fact I could specify the exact style of the doors and the exact staining of the wood means I have a quality, bespoke, solid wood kitchen but at a price that is comparable with a mid-range, high street, chipboard one. You are also able to include all the gizmos and gadgets offered by the showrooms so there is no need for a customer to worry that they may be missing out on the latest technology by going to a smaller independent workshop.
Your patience throughout the whole choosing process was brilliant as you obviously understand that when spending a significant sum of money on a kitchen it has got to be right as we have to live with it for several years. Personally I expect your kitchen will still be in place when we eventually move whether that is 5 years or 35 years.
Our kitchen fitters were very impressed with the quality of the cupboards and everything fitted exactly as it should. I think the crowning glory was the look on our designer’s face when he saw the installed kitchen. He was visibly overwhelmed by how good it was having been very off about my decision to go with you rather than his preferred, reputable, ‘off the shelf’ supplier.
If you have any internet enquiries in the future then I would not hesitate to give you a reference. I am also more than happy for your potential customers in this area to come and see my kitchen if that would help.
All the very best,
Bridget Flett

Hi Stuart
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the wonderful kitchen. Excellent work from the design stage right through to the completion of it being fitted. Combine that with the beautiful craftsmanship, and the best possible use of space and we honestly couldn't be happier. It's a joy to cook in, and great to come back to day after day. I have happily recommended you, and will continue to recommend you to friends and colleague's.
Kind regards

Hi Stuart
I would like to thank you for the furniture that was delivered today. The quality of the furniture and the craftsmanship is excellent. You were always response in getting back to my design questions and your eye to detail and scale has ensured that the furniture is just as we had imagined. We were slightly concerned about buying through the internet but we need not have worried. If we ever need some more made to measure furniture for our Victorian house we will definitely call you again. It is also good to use real reclaimed timbers and gives the pieces an extra element, after all not many people can say that their furniture was crafted from the timbers of an old disused mill in Dewsbury.

The kitchen looks amazing and is still a joy to come back to - thanks!
