[Home](/) 2. About Us # Family-Run. Workshop-Made. Built to Last. We're the Bear Brothers — a small team of craftsmen who believe your furniture should be as individual as your home. From our Epping workshop, we design, build and install bespoke fitted furniture for families across London, Essex and the Home Counties. 10+ Years Experience 500+ Pieces Delivered 10-Year Guarantee Family-Run Workshop Free Home Visits ## Our Story Bear Brothers started in 2013 with a simple idea: build furniture the way it should be built — properly. No flat-pack shortcuts, no corners cut, no salespeople between you and the people actually making your furniture. What began as two brothers with a passion for woodworking and a rented garage in Epping has grown into a dedicated workshop on Lindsey Street, equipped with both traditional hand tools and modern precision machinery. But the philosophy hasn't changed. Every piece is still designed one-on-one with the client, built by hand in our workshop, and installed by the same team that made it. We've now completed over 500 commissions — from [fitted wardrobes](/services/fitted-wardrobes) in Victorian terraces across [Hackney](/areas/hackney) and [Islington](/areas/islington) to full [kitchen refits](/services/bespoke-kitchens) in Essex farmhouses and [alcove libraries](/services/alcove-cabinets) in [Cambridge](/areas/cambridge) colleges. Each one unique, each one built to outlast the trends. We're not the cheapest. We're not the fastest. But when you choose Bear Brothers, you get furniture made by people who genuinely care about getting it right — and who'll still be here to look after it years from now. ## What We Stand For ### Traditional Craftsmanship Every joint is hand-cut, every surface hand-finished. We use time-honoured joinery techniques — mortise and tenon, dovetail, biscuit — because furniture built properly lasts generations, not years. ### Sustainably Sourced Timber We source FSC-certified hardwoods and sustainably managed softwoods from trusted UK suppliers. No chipboard cores, no MDF shortcuts — just real wood, properly seasoned and carefully selected for grain and character. ### Made for Your Home No two homes are the same, so no two pieces should be either. Every commission starts with a free home visit where we measure, listen and advise — then design something that fits your space, your style, and your life. ### 10-Year Structural Guarantee We stand behind every piece we build. Our 10-year structural guarantee covers joints, frames and moving parts — because if we wouldn't put it in our own home, we won't put it in yours. ## Our Journey 2013 Founded in a small Epping garage with a dream and a table saw. 2015 Moved into our first proper workshop on Lindsey Street. 2017 Completed our 100th commission — a full fitted kitchen in Chelmsford. 2019 Expanded the workshop, added CNC capability alongside traditional tools. 2021 Hit 300+ completed projects across London and Essex. 2023 Launched 3D design consultations — see your furniture before it's built. 2024 500+ projects delivered and counting. Still family, still handmade. ## The Workshop Our workshop at Unit 5, 135 Lindsey Street, Epping sits at the gateway between London and Essex — perfectly placed to serve homes across both. Inside you'll find a blend of old and new: traditional bench planes and chisels sit alongside a CNC router and edge-banding machine. This combination lets us work with the precision of modern manufacturing while preserving the hand-finished character that makes [bespoke furniture](/services/made-to-measure-furniture) special. Every piece passes through the same hands from raw timber to final polish, and we invite every client to visit the workshop to see their furniture taking shape. We keep our team deliberately small — it's how we maintain quality. When you call Bear Brothers, you speak to the people building your furniture. When we visit your home, it's the same team who'll install the finished piece. No middlemen, no miscommunication. Workshop visits welcome — come see your furniture being made. Call to arrange a time. ## Ready to Start Your Project? Book a free design consultation and let's talk about what you need. No obligation, no hard sell — just honest advice from the people who'll actually build your furniture.
