Pinecraft

I was absolutely in love with this place when I went in. You would be forgiven for not realising it existed, as it is tucked away beyond a little alley in Otley and has only a small board advertising its existence, but I imagine if you are local to the town you’ll know about it by reputation before you visit the location. I realised it was there by noticing the awesome hand carved dragon in the alley, which helped to advertise that it was there.
Inside it is more of an amazing workshop/​display warehouse that anything else, and for my furniture shopping I don’t think I’d have it any other way. If you can visit an earthly, had crafted workshop over some stuffy, pretentious showroom I think I know which I’d prefer. You can see before you where each item has come from and you can, if nothing else, smell where it’s come from — the air is full of that beautiful woody scent.
The space is filled with exquisite coat and hat stands, dining tables, chairs, bureaus, corner units, desks, chests — you name it. Every piece was breathtaking and wonderfully made. Given the quality of the items on show I considered the prices extremely reasonable, they had a sale on at the time also, but for a complete dining table for up to roughly six (that was my estimate) it was only £500. You could pay a lot more than that for a lot worse, I know that much! Truly, for any home furniture of the highest quality and great prices, Pinecraft of Otley has got to be the one!

A real handicraft shop. There is nothing ornate or elaborate in here. Real craftsmanship is evident ion the fine cabinets, dressers, draws and tables on display ion the showroom. Annexed to the showroom is a workshop and the waft of freshly cut pine drifts from the double doors. There is a van for deliveries and oak furniture is also available.
