Ben Simpson Furniture
Product Info

Our rustic furniture is handcrafted to order in our West Sussex workshop, using solid wood and traditional techniques.

We embrace the natural character of the timber, preserving unique grain patterns, gentle saw marks, natural splits and softly sanded edges — details that make every piece unmistakably individual and part of our signature style.

We offer a wide range of sizes and colour finishes, allowing you to tailor each piece to your space. Need a bespoke size? Please get in touch - our furniture can be designed and built to suit almost any requirement.

For ease and longevity in everyday living, all pieces are supplied with height-adjustable feet to accommodate different flooring types.

We include all fixings required, along with a clear instruction booklet and step-by-step installation video, ensuring assembly is straightforward and stress-free.

Installation

Each piece is supplied flat-packed for ease of delivery and is designed to be assembled simply and securely.All fixings are included, along with clear instructions and installation videos.

Assembly typically takes around ten minutes. As with all handcrafted furniture, natural variation in colour and texture is part of the finished piece.

Materials

Every piece is made from carefully selected solid timber, chosen for its grain, texture, and natural character. Variations such as saw marks, splits, and softened edges are part of the material and are preserved by design — no two pieces are ever quite the same.

Caring for your furniture is straightforward.Dust regularly with a clean, dry, non-abrasive cloth, and avoid harsh or chemical cleaning products, which can mark the surface. With gentle care, the timber will continue to age naturally and develop a richer character over time.

All of our furniture is handcrafted in our West Sussex workshop using timber sourced exclusively from sustainably managed forests. Every board is kiln dried to ensure long-term stability and finished by hand to suit everyday use.

Wax Finish

All of our rustic furniture is finished using a natural wax, available in a considered range of six tones.The wax enhances the grain and texture of the timber while offering everyday protection, allowing the character of the wood to remain visible rather than covered.

The finish is water resistant for up to 30 minutes, making it well suited to daily use.To keep your piece looking its best, we recommend applying a clear wax top-up once a year — a simple way to refresh the surface and protect it for years to come.

Design Notes

Our Rustic Plank Furniture is defined by simplicity, strength, and character.Each piece is designed to feel considered rather than styled — grounded in solid wood, with proportions that are calm, functional, and built to last.

The solid timber leg design provides strength and stability while keeping the overall form clean and understated. Rustic details are left visible by choice, giving every piece a sense of individuality without compromising on balance or use.

Sizes and finishes are offered as a considered range, allowing each piece to be shaped around your space and how it’s used — whether that’s everyday family life or more occasional gatherings.

All pieces are designed to be straightforward to assemble and just as easy to take apart, offering flexibility when spaces change or homes move.Behind the scenes, equal care is given to how each piece is packaged and delivered, ensuring it arrives safely and ready to be lived with.

Every design we make is guided by three principles: quality, functionality, and sustainability.If a piece doesn’t meet all three, it doesn’t leave the workshop.
