Why Choose Chunk Monkey Furniture?
Built in Swansea. Built to last.
Chunk Monkey is led by owner and fabricator Dan Faull, a Swansea local with over 20 years’ experience in bespoke metal and woodwork. His commercial and domestic portfolio spans hundreds of satisfied customers across the UK who value craftsmanship, reliability and honest pricing.
What began as a workshop hobby has grown into a trusted brand known for outstanding build quality at sensible prices. Every piece is handcrafted in our South Wales workshop — no mass production, no shortcuts.
Reclaimed Wood with Authentic Character
Our reclaimed timber tops are typically 38mm thick and retain the natural character, wear marks, and imperfections you’d expect from genuine reclaimed wood. Every board tells a story, showing the grain, knots and patina that give reclaimed furniture its unique rustic charm.
Sustainably Sourced and Premium Pine
In contrast, our Extra Chunky and Extremely Chunky ranges are planed all round to improve uniformity and reduce natural movement such as twisting and cupping over time. This process significantly enhances the timber’s stability — and it’s something most other manufacturers simply don’t do. The result is a smoother, more consistent surface that still celebrates the warmth and individuality of solid wood.
Materials That Outperform
- FSC-certified timber only, selected for strength, grain and character.
- Heavy-gauge British steel frames, welded and wire-brushed in-house.
- Durable clear lacquer finish, protecting the raw industrial look while highlighting natural grain and tone.
A Superior Rustic Industrial Wood Finish
Our solid wood tops are hand-sanded and available in rich, character-enhancing stains. Each piece is sealed with two coats of premium industrial hardwax oil, then hand-finished with Fiddes Supreme Wax for excellent water resistance and long-term durability.
Made To Measure
Need a specific length, width or height? We offer custom sizing and bespoke cutting to ensure your furniture fits your space and your lifestyle perfectly.
Built Better Than The Imports
Heavier steel. Thicker boards. Cleaner welds. Real finishes. We design every piece for stability, longevity and everyday use — not just showroom looks. That’s why every item we make is backed by our Lifetime Guarantee.
Fair Value, Guaranteed
We keep our pricing clear, fair and competitive. Chunk Monkey offers discounts and bundle deals, something most competitors don’t. And if you find a genuinely comparable table at a lower price, we’ll match it through our Like-for-Like Price Match Promise.
