Solid wood furniture manufacturers in Johannesburg: Timbur, made in Lanseria

Timbur is a solid wood furniture manufacturer in Johannesburg. Every piece is made to order in our own workshop at 11 Middel Road, Sunrella, Lanseria, on the north-western edge of the city, and delivered and installed in your home by our team. We do not resell imported furniture: the French Oak and Kiaat is cut, the cabinets are sprayed and the drawers are fitted here, by the people who will later hang the headboard on your wall.

What we make

Floating headboards and headboard and pedestal combos, bedside pedestals (wall-hung and freestanding), 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. Because each piece is built after you order, widths can usually be adjusted to your wall.

Where in Johannesburg we deliver and install

Installation is included with delivery anywhere in Gauteng. From Lanseria the team reaches most of Johannesburg within an hour: Fourways, Dainfern, Lonehill, Kyalami and Midrand (about 20 to 30 km); Bryanston, Sandton, Rivonia, Morningside and Rosebank (about 30 to 40 km); Randburg, Northcliff, Linden, Greenside and Parkhurst (about 25 to 35 km); Roodepoort, Krugersdorp and Honeydew (about 20 to 30 km); Bedfordview, Edenvale, Germiston and Alberton (about 50 to 60 km); and the southern suburbs. Wall-hung pieces are mounted on the day, set to your bed or seating height, with the fixings for your wall type. Freestanding pieces arrive assembled.

Visiting the workshop

Workshop visits are by appointment, Monday to Friday 08:30 to 16:30. You can see the timbers and the four cabinet colours on finished pieces, check a drawer runner, and measure a headboard against your bed size. Lanseria is about 35 minutes from Sandton via the N1 and R512 and about 20 minutes from Fourways; the workshop is five minutes from Lanseria International Airport. Call 072 473 0380 or email info@timbur.co.za to book. Completed orders can also be collected here free of charge, with two working days' notice.

How ordering works

  1. Choose the piece, bed size, timber and cabinet colour on the product page, or email us the wall measurements if you need a custom width.
  2. Pay online. Your piece joins the workshop schedule; the current lead time is on the lead times page and on every product page.
  3. We call to arrange a delivery and installation date when the piece is finished. Delivery is quoted at checkout; see delivery and installation.
  4. On the day the team mounts wall-hung pieces, levels them, and takes the packaging away. Everything is covered by the warranty.
