"I grew up working in my Dad's power tools and machinery business in Wollongong and always made furniture. I started Made By You to bridge the gap between low-end (bad-for-the-environment) chipboard furniture and high-end (custom-made/costly-made) timber joinery and create a true hybrid; solid timber furniture (from the fastest-growing plantation timber in the world), but is designed to be customised and flat-pack delivered to your door..."

Unlike others, you won't seeing us claiming our timber furniture is made from "sustainably managed forests" because forests are homes too (and we don't want to make yours beautiful at the expense of others). 

We're not interested in greenwashing, or using logos like “FSC” or “PEFC” that have helped furniture companies fuel mass deforestation by claiming sustainable practice. 

We want to help protect forests and provide a genuinely sustainable alternative.

Our customers are our favourite. We love seeing their creations come to life in their homes. Follow us on Instagram to see new customisations daily and get inspired

"While timber is technically a renewable resource, the kinds of forests that are being logged all over the world, can’t be regenerated in our lifetime. There’s a better way to enjoy timber than paying thousands of dollars for hundreds of years old, single slab tabletops, or mass-produced furniture with timber veneer over chipboard or plywood using “FSC” or “PEFC” logos to justify how sourcing wood from forests is somehow sustainable"
