My grandfather was an apprentice cabinet maker in Hackney in London's East End in the very early 1900s. He taught my father what he knew and then my father was himself apprenticed as an upholsterer in Shoreditch in the 1930s. He started his own upholstery company after he was demobbed from the army in 1946 in Curtain Road in Shoreditch and then started Wharfside Furniture importing Danish Furniture just around the corner in 1962.
He then moved the showroom into our present building in Buttesland Street in 1965. Our furniture is still made to the highest standards; the factories we work with in Scandinavian, Holland, Germany and Austria still exercise the same, time honoured, craft skills they used way back then. The result is furniture you can be just as proud to own, made just for you.

In some cases the choice is obvious: traditional, upholstered, solid wood dining chairs with two carvers at each end, go with a traditional solid wood dining table; and a couple of leather bench seats complete a lovely bench dining set.But in some cases you can be more experimental: how about going entirely for dining room chairs with arms - they'll take up a lot of space, but every guest will feel like a VIP.

Wharfside have a very good range of contemporary furniture and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the owner / MD seems to lack any social skills and certainly customer service ones…
We bought a Stressless recliner from their sales floor and it was only when we got it home we discovered a problem. One of the manufacturer’s promotional videos showed a young child demonstrating how effortless it was to rotate the chair through 360º. The chair we bought took considerable effort to do this and we contacted Wharfside to discuss the issue. Things could have been handled so much

I think they expect all people with money to just throw it at them with their eyes closed. Went in, got turned off by the rip-off prices, and was pretty much snarled at by the staff who were basically calling us cheapskates for asking for something in a cheaper price range. "Good taste, wrong money", in his own words. Then a side-of-the-mouth comment by his colleague that we must be living in a poor area. A shockingly unprofessional attitude...

We got our dining table from Wharfside. It's a beautiful traditional solid oak wood dining table that's so unique yet totally in-keeping with our personal taste in decor.
They've got so much lovely stuff, I particularly love their modern dining tables and bookcases. I only wish I had another home to house them in!
