I recently attended the store in Collingwood and spent some time looking at various dining tables to see which size, type, colour, details etc. The person I dealt with was super helpful about all aspects of the table, including the legs. I was able to take pictures of various pieces and then go away to think about which one would suit my space best. Once I got home, I was able to use the pictures to decide on which table and legs would best suit my dining space. When I made the decision and emailed to advise, Vinko contacted me very quickly and I was able to purchase over the phone - so easy

This was certainly a five star experience. Thankyou for being so helpful and professional in choosing the wood and including our tree design. It sits pride of place in our lounge and will be used and loved for many years to come.

I recently opened a small cafe and was looking for quality furniture pieces to suit the character of my cafe. My friend recommended me to get in touch with Neel Dey Furniture. I ordered some French provincial style coffee tables from them and was not at all disappointed. The order was completed and delivered on time. The tables are made from excellent quality recycled timber and I am very happy with their service.
