Timbur delivers solid wood furniture to Durban from its workshop in Lanseria, Gauteng, where every piece is made to order. There is no Durban showroom and no installation team in KwaZulu-Natal: furniture travels by road freight, freestanding pieces arrive assembled, and wall-hung pieces arrive with brackets, fixings and step-by-step mounting instructions that any handyman can follow. Delivery to Durban is quoted at checkout before you pay.
What we make
Floating headboards and headboard and pedestal combos in single to super king, bedside pedestals, floating dressing tables, chests of drawers, wall-mounted and freestanding TV units, sideboards and dining room servers, home office desks and solid oak dining tables. Drawer fronts and tops are solid French Oak or Kiaat; cabinets are sprayed in Satin White, Satin Light Grey, Satin Dark Grey or Flat Black.
How delivery to Durban works
- Order online. Choose the piece, size, timber and cabinet colour; email info@timbur.co.za first if you need a custom width.
- Your piece is built in Lanseria. The current lead time is on the lead times page and on every product page.
- When it is finished we book the freight and send you the tracking details. Wall-hung pieces are packed with their brackets and fixings; freestanding pieces are wrapped and crated where needed.
- Inspect the piece before you sign the delivery note. Note any damage on the note and tell us within 24 hours; transit damage is repaired or replaced under the warranty.
Full terms are on the delivery and installation page.
Mounting wall-hung pieces in Durban
Floating headboards, pedestals, dressing tables and TV units mount to drywall, brick or concrete with the supplied fixings, provided the wall is sound. Tell us what your wall is made of when you order so the right fixings are packed. The instructions give the bracket positions and heights; most customers have a local handyman fit them in under an hour per piece. If you prefer to see the furniture first, pieces installed in customer homes are in the customer gallery, and the Lanseria workshop is open for visits by appointment.
Coastal humidity and solid timber
Durban's humidity is much higher than the Highveld's, and solid timber settles at a higher moisture content there. Our tops and fronts are kiln-dried and sealed, and the construction allows for seasonal movement, so pieces travel well. Kiaat is the most stable of our timbers for a home on the coast; the timber guide explains the difference, and keeping sealed timber out of direct sea air and wiping it dry helps it settle.
Durban questions, answered
Do you deliver furniture to Durban?
Yes. Timbur delivers anywhere in South Africa by road freight from its Lanseria workshop. The Durban delivery fee is quoted at checkout before payment.
Do you install in Durban?
No. Installation is included only in Gauteng. Wall-hung pieces ship to Durban with brackets, fixings and mounting instructions, and any handyman can fit them; freestanding pieces arrive assembled.
Is there a Timbur showroom in Durban?
No. Timbur sells online and from its Lanseria workshop by appointment. Installed pieces can be seen in the customer gallery on this site.
How long does delivery to Durban take?
Pieces are made to order; the current manufacturing lead time is on the lead times page, and road freight to Durban usually follows within about a week of the piece being finished.
What if the furniture arrives damaged?
Inspect it before signing the delivery note, note any damage on the note and tell Timbur within 24 hours. Transit damage is repaired or replaced at no charge under the warranty.
Is solid timber furniture suitable for Durban's humidity?
Yes, if it is kiln-dried, sealed and built to allow for movement, which Timbur's pieces are. Kiaat moves least of the three timbers and is the safest choice right on the coast.
