Thread: Wanting to Buy - 2xTV unit, Coffee Table Dinnng room table

Try Wildwood Designs Timber & Wood Furniture including Australian Hardwood Dining Tables

If you want the unit, tables etc made in the one timber, I think they would make them up for you.

Should TV units be that much?

To cut out the middle man you will need to get the cheap stuff from overseas.

A decent TV unit custom made will be a minimum $1200- $1500. Anything less will be junk or imported from China/Asia.

Is this Tasman made out of solid wood?

Have a look at one closely and you should be able to see if it is solid timber or not. I think its a coloured finish on that product so if it is solid timber, it will probably be a veneer or a paint process on solid particle board but check it out.

looking at the design, care instructions and colour choice, I'm prepared to go further
It's most likely foil wrapped board (chip, particle or MDF)

Unfortunately this is the way most Australians think. Cut out the middle man and the maker will work for nothing. The people here all make quality products from (generally) Select grade timbers. As Lignum said, anything under $1200 is going to be veneer or something worse.
I could make you an entertainment unit like the one pictured for a mere $2000, and a Coffee table like that pictured for another $1800 and a square table for $3500 and chairs for a minimum of $400 each. Why so cheap? It's a labour of love.
