At Thomas Matthew we are a bespoke furniture company on a mission…
To build visually stunning free standing & bespoke furniture. Our dedicated team design and build a wide range of furniture specific to your style and taste. We can build anything you can imagine so please give us a call to discuss your ideas & allow us to make your handmade furniture come to life.
All of our bespoke furniture is lovingly handmade by our team of skilled joiners based in Poole, Dorset. We mix traditional and modern cabinet making techniques to ensure we always supply you with the best possible furniture. Whether we’re building you custom shelves, radiator cabinets or some handmade furniture, we take the same care to ensure we produce you the best quality products possible.
Where we work: we deliver and fit our furniture across Poole, including Parkstone, Broadstone, Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks, and in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Ferndown, as well as further afield in Dorset and Hampshire.
To maximise your home’s available space, bespoke furniture is the perfect choice. We build our custom cabinetry to fit perfectly and utilise even the most awkward of spaces. So instead of compromising why not treat yourself to some custom handmade furniture? Uniquely designed to your style, tastes and home decor. Stop shopping around for that perfect piece. Let’s design it together.

Our job is to guide and assist you through every step, openly and honestly explaining any pros & cons of each material or product in question. We aim to educate & inform you, so you can feel confident that each decision you’re making is the right one.
You are unique, your needs are unique. Innovative designs allow us to infuse your individual styles and tastes into your handmade furniture. Our designers take the time to listen, and really understand what you are thinking. This helps us to create and tailor our designs to suit you.
All of our finishing is done in house, from spray painting to hand painted finishes. With a variety of colours to choose, from the likes of Farrow & Ball, Little Greene or Dulux, we guarantee stunning results on every project.
Fitted and freestanding furniture for any room: bookcases, home office desks, radiator cabinets, shelving and pieces made for awkward corners, each one designed around how you live and made to measure.
Solid wood, veneers and MDF, in a painted or natural wood finish. Our painting is done in-house, by spray or by hand, in colours from the likes of Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Dulux.
It depends on the size of the piece, the materials and finish, and how much of it is drawers, doors or shelving. Send us a sketch or a photo of the space, or a picture of something you like, with rough sizes, and we will give you a guide price before anyone visits.
Once the guide price suits your budget, we arrange a free design consultation, measure up, show you the design in 3D and give you a fixed price before anything is made. Your furniture is then made in our workshop in Poole.

Yes. We guarantee our furniture against defects in manufacture for 10 years after the work is completed, and the hinges and runners also carry their manufacturer’s own guarantee. The full terms are in our terms and conditions.
