While things are looking a bit grim out there (and I am not just talking financial markets) it is our job to make things look as bright and chirpy as possible and this is why today with the help of all the team we have just installed a brand new range in our showroom!
The Rough Sawn Range from CPW is the newest addition to an already ernormous portfolio of ranges, this is a chunky solid pine range with large metal hinges and handles with planking effect cut into the top surfaces across all of the pieces and is now available from A world of furniture as are all of the ranges from CPW.
Yes it is a gloomy out there, but what is the point of being down beat, we like to be positive and invest in new products and give a continuing fresh feel to our showrooms and a change as they say is as good as a rest!
So either come on down to our showrooms in Salisbury, Poole or Blandford or have a look at CPW's website and give us a call on 01722 413532 for the best prices to be had and dont forget that for every piece of furniture that you buy we will plant a tree, and so far we have planted over 20,000 trees!!

Still planting trees!!
Yup, we are still going, we have so far planted over 20,000 trees and we are still going!!
We realise that we are taking from the environment a huge amount of resources and this is just one way that we have decided to combat this and try to replenish our local forests and woodland by supporting the Forestry Commision.
Most of the replanting is occuring in the local area such as the New Forest and Savernake forests, but we have not stopped at just doing this, we now recycle all of our cardboard and packaging with a dedicated roll on roll off skip at both Blandford and West Dean, so far we have recycled in excess of 25 tonnes of cardboard and paper.
There are many other things that we can and will implement to help the environment and I will keep you updated as to new developments of our environmental policy.
Trading standards to investigate Oak Furniture supplier.
The increasingly fierce competition for business amongst furniture retailers could, it seems, be descending into the realms of the illegal. It has been reported that Trading Standards Officers are investigating claims that the Norfolk furniture retailer Pine Solutions is passing off products as coming from West Country-based company Devonshire Pine Ltd. when they are in fact lower quality products imported from elsewhere.
Over the years Devonshire Pine has earned a good reputation amongst furniture retailers and consumers for its oak furniture ranges, including the Devonshire New Solid Oak range. Pine Solutions, until recently a Devonshire Pine stockist, has started selling what it describes as ‘New Devon Oak’ furniture.
The styling is similar to Devonshire New Solid Oak products although the prices are significantly lower.These activities have caused confusion amongst customers and concern for retailers. “Customers think they are getting the genuine item at a discount price, but when they take delivery, the lower grade of finish and generally poorer quality lead them to think that Devonshire Pine Ltd is no longer producing the sort of quality on which it has built its reputation,” said one retailer. “In the long term both the stockists of the genuine Devonshire Pine Ltd ranges and their customers will suffer if this problem is left unchecked.”Customers are advised to check with Devonshire Pine Ltd to ensure the retailer is an official stockist. Points to look for on the non-genuine furniture include drawer bases, drawer runners and cabinet backs not being made from oak, a generally poorer finish and the use of lower grade Chinese Oak for construction, rather than the American Oak used in Devonshire Pine Ltd’s products.
