The
end of an era...
After a long history
of manufacturing custom timber furniture right
here in Briar Hill, Purdys have made the
decision to 'Pull up Stumps' and close the
business.
With the Victorian
Government ban on timber logging, we no longer
have access to our beautiful, sustainable
timbers such as Victorian Ash, Wormy Chestnut &
Mesmate. We feel any other Australian timbers
are either unsuitable or supply will be so
limited that we won't be able to obtain the
quality or price we require to continue to make
affordable, custom timber furniture.
Although
there are still imported timber options
available, it doesn't sit right with us as a
proud Australian manufacturer that we'd be
forced to use something other than Australian
materials so for that reason,
we're calling it a
day with our morals intact.
From humble beginings
as a second hand furniture store in a leaky old
shed, making recycled timber furniture from old
Baltic Pine flooring, Purdys has come a long way
thanks to our hard working staff and very loyal
customers and to all of you, we say thank you.
Our final trading day for the Purdys Showroom is
Saturday 9th March although our workshop is still busy completing current
orders. Any remaining stock after this day will be advertised on our
social media pages until SOLD OUT.
To all of the many
thousands of customers who have a 'Purdys' piece
in their home, we say thank you very much, we
definately couldn't have done this without
you...
