NB Rhodes Furniture was founded by Nick Rhodes in 2010. Nick started out as a maintenance gardener before progressing to the design and building of bespoke garden structures and then gradually increasing the range to include everything you can now find on our website. We're based in Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire and all of our furniture is handmade to order in our workshop.
We specialise in these main ranges:
All of our range can be completely tailored & customized to your requirements.
The easiest way is to visit our website and find the product you're interested in from the 'Products' dropdown menu. Scroll down the product page until you see the numbered steps. Select your preferences at each step and enter your contact details at the bottom. We'll email a quote over to you. To proceed with the order, just let us know and we email the invoice to you along with a payment link for card payments.
Alternatively, please email us at nick@nbrhodesfurniture.co.uk for assistance.
Prices are displayed on each individual product page on our website. As you scroll down each product page, you will see the numbered 'steps' which include pricing information. Please note that the Gallery area of our website is simply a collection of photos of previous orders and doesn't contain product information or prices. All prices displayed include VAT and delivery.
Yes! As we make all our furniture to order, there's no additional charge for custom sizes not listed on our website. We simply calculate the cost between listed sizes. For example, a 1.2m workbench would cost halfway between a 1m and 1.4m workbench. We can accommodate sizes up to 4m in length for most products.
We can take either full payment upfront or a 50% deposit at the time of placing your order and the remainder due just prior to dispatch. Payments can be made by bank transfer or by debit/credit card via a payment link which we'll email to you along with the invoice.
We use European Redwood (Scots Pine) for most of our products, with the option of oak worktops for interior furniture. Our garden furniture and potting benches are made from pressure-treated (tanalised) European Redwood - to prevent rot.
All of our exterior furniture has been pressure-treated and requires no additional maintenance (it will go a silvery colour over time). To keep it in best condition, it is advisable to keep the legs off wet grass in the autumn and winter and clean off any accumulated dirt. To prevent unpainted furniture from aging to a silvery colour over time, danish or teak oil can be applied a couple of times a year. Painted garden furniture can be recoated over the years - how often depends on the colour and your preference.
We offer extensive customisation options on all of our products - please refer to each product page for full information and prices.
Our lead time varies between 5-8 weeks (depending on the time of year - we are busiest in spring and summer). On your quote, we will provide you with an estimated completion date.
Yes! We offer free fully assembled delivery (or part-assembled if preferred) throughout mainland Great Britain (excluding Highlands & Islands - price available on request). This is included in all the prices shown on our website. We use a nationwide 2-man independent courier service. As soon as we know when your furniture will be ready for delivery, we'll inform the courier, who will contact you directly by text message and email with a suggested delivery day. If this doesn't work for you, they'll offer an alternative day. The day before delivery, you'll receive a 3-hour delivery window, and on the day of delivery, they'll keep you updated on the estimated time of arrival.
Yes, our furniture is delivered fully assembled (unless you have requested part-assembled). The only exceptions are our daybeds, which are large and bulky items that can be difficult to manoeuvre into position when fully assembled. If you have suitable access, we can deliver daybeds fully assembled. Similarly, if access to your room is tight for any product, we can arrange for part-assembled delivery along with instructions and fixings for very simple and quick customer assembly.
Yes, absolutely! Please let us know your plans to collect at the time of placing your order, and we'll keep you updated on progress and arrange the best time for collection with you.
Yes, all our products are covered by a 12-month warranty. We're very passionate about what we do and strive to create products that will last for many years. If you have any problems with our furniture outside of the warranty period, we'll be happy to advise and assist.
Our interior furniture is built to last a lifetime! We use solid timber construction with chunky frames, and all pieces are glued and screwed for extra strength.

Our potting benches are essentially the same design as our workbenches but are pressure-treated (tanalised) for outdoor use. Workbenches are designed for dry indoor workshops, garages and sheds, while potting benches are designed for outdoor garden use or in a shed or greenhouse and because of the pressure treatment, they will not rot in the wet/damp conditions. Both offer the same sturdy construction and customisation options, including optional shelves and various sizes from 70cm to 3m or custom lengths up to 4m.
Most of our Adirondack chair designs offer either standard seating height or raised seating height (raised by 3 inches). The raised option makes it easier to get in and out of the chair, which many customers prefer. Please be warned that the extra high option is not recommended for anyone less than 5’8” as your feet may not touch the ground. We also offer extra tall versions for all of our adirondack chairs - this is particularly beneficial for people over 6’ tall to ensure that the back slats are high enough to support your head.
Some chairs also offer reclining positions – our reclining Adirondack chairs and sun loungers have 3 different reclining positions for maximum comfort.
Yes! We offer a wide range of colour options, so you can choose colours to match or complement your existing furniture. If you have specific colour requirements, please let us know when placing your order (or requesting a quote) and we can advise on the best options to achieve the look you want.
