About Us
Chocolate Wood is a Sydney furniture retailer. We've been trading since August 2006, we have a showroom in Manly Vale on the Northern Beaches, and our Australian custom-made furniture is built at a factory and workshop in Riverwood. We deliver across Australia.
We sell solid timber, rattan, outdoor and Australian custom-made furniture — thousands of pieces across dining, living, bedroom, outdoor and home office.
How it started
Chocolate Wood was founded in 2006 out of a straightforward frustration: good solid timber furniture in Australia was priced as a luxury, and the affordable end of the market was wood-look particle board.
Over 20 years later that's still the business. Solid timber, honestly described, at prices that don't assume you're furnishing a second home.
What we sell
Solid timber furniture. Dining tables, buffets, bedroom and living room ranges in mahogany, messmate, oak and acacia. Construction varies by range — individual product pages set out the timber, dimensions and finish for each piece.
Rustic and recycled timber. Recycled elm dining tables, buffets and benches — reclaimed timber, remilled. Nail holes, colour variation, saw marks. No two pieces alike. It's become one of our strongest categories.
Rattan. Natural rattan furniture that suits the coastal and Hamptons styles common across Sydney.
Outdoor furniture. Outdoor dining settings, lounge settings, chairs, benches and tables for balconies, courtyards and gardens.
Australian custom made. Built at our Riverwood factory and workshop in Sydney. Victorian ash, American oak, New Zealand pine, blackwood, blackbutt and American walnut, plus white painted MDF for our French Provincial and Hamptons pieces.
Mirrors, screens and room dividers. The pieces that finish a room.
Imported and Australian made — and why we say which
Most of our catalogue is imported. Our custom-made range is built here in Sydney. We clearly distinguish our Australian custom-made range from our imported furniture, so you always know which is which.
Our imported ranges are made overseas by our suppliers, and each product page sets out the materials used. Our Indonesian mahogany producer holds a Timber Legality Verification System Certificate (SVLK) issued by the Indonesian Government, verifying that the timber is legally harvested and traceable through the supply chain. That certification applies to the Indonesian mahogany range only.
Our custom-made furniture is built at Riverwood, to your dimensions, in three to four weeks plus delivery.
The two suit different situations. Our imported ranges are held in stock where available, so they're generally the quicker option. Australian custom made is built to your specification, in the timber and finish you choose, and sized to the space you actually have — which is why it's the answer when a standard piece won't work.
Where to find us
Showroom — Shop 33, 228-232 Condamine Street, Manly Vale NSW 2093
Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 4pm. Weekdays by appointment.
The showroom carries a selected range rather than the full catalogue. If there's something specific you'd like to see, call ahead.
Factory and workshop — Bonds Road, Riverwood NSW 2210
Strictly by appointment. Where the custom-made furniture is built. Better suited if you're in the south or south-west of Sydney, or if you'd like to see work in progress. Please call first — it's a working factory, not a showroom.

We deliver Australia-wide. Smaller items travel by courier; larger furniture goes with experienced furniture removalists who bring it into the room you want it in, subject to safe and reasonable access.
Sydney metro, in-stock: typically three to five working days. Interstate, in-stock: typically seven to ten. Custom made: three to four weeks production plus delivery. All estimates, not guarantees.
Enter your postcode on any product page for a freight quote before you buy.
What we'll tell you straight
Timber colour is hard to judge on a screen. We'll post free timber samples anywhere in Australia — just ask.
Everything carries a 12-month manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing faults, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Custom-made pieces are built specifically for you and can't be returned for change of mind, which is why we confirm every detail in writing before we start. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law still apply.
If a standard size works for your room, we'll tell you that rather than sell you a custom piece you don't need.
