What Makes Us… Us

  • Quality Heavy-Duty

    Outdoor furniture is only as good as the care that goes into it — and we put a lot in.
    We spend real time refining our designs, choosing the right timber, and checking every part for strength, look, and fit before anything gets assembled. Sanding, edging, smoothing — that’s all standard in our workshop.
    If you choose a stain finish, the full process takes weeks. Not because we’re slow, but because good timber deserves patience. Quality takes time, and we reckon it’s worth every day.

  • Made to Order

    Getting outdoor furniture made to order is honestly the best way to go.
    It cuts down waste, lets you choose exactly what you want, and means the final piece actually fits your space — not some imaginary “average” backyard.
    If you want taller chairs, wider seats, a picnic table that doesn’t feel like it was designed for tiny elves… we can sort that.
    You end up with something unique, built properly, and built to last. A one‑off piece that feels like yours — and that’s worth the investment.

  • Pickup or get Delivery

    You’re welcome to pick up your order from our workshop in Thames, Waikato — easy, tidy, no fuss.

    If you’d like delivery, here’s how we run things now:

    Standard Delivery
    All orders run on a first‑in, first‑out system. Your order stays in the queue and heads out when it reaches the front — simple, fair, and keeps the workshop flowing.

    Priority Delivery
    If you need your order sooner, you can bump it ahead of the queue for a fee. Priority orders slide past the others (with a polite “sorry, team”) and get delivered as fast as humanly possible.

  • Quality Guarantee

    All our furniture is built to be safe, fit for purpose, and genuinely high quality — that’s the baseline.If something isn’t right, we sort it. Faulty part, odd issue, anything that shouldn’t be there — we’ll repair or remedy it straight away. No mucking around.

How Your Furniture Gets Made (By Actual Humans)

Every order we make is planned and built by us, right here in the workshop. If you’ve got questions about any Peter & Son furniture — or you want to talk through a custom build — just give us a call on 022‑065‑7638.

Each piece, whether it’s a chair, table, or shed, is individually mapped out to suit your measurements, your space, and the way you use it. Need a different height, wider seat, or a layout that isn’t “standard”? Easy — we adjust the build to fit.

We take pride in the workmanship: solid joinery, tidy detailing, clear communication, and practical design that actually works in real backyards. Our finishes are made to last, strong, and good-looking. We source timber from reputable suppliers and hand‑select every board before it goes into a build.

All timber should be protected with oil, varnish, or paint — and we can guide you on the best option for your space.

It’s honest, kiwi furniture, built properly.
