SERVICES

If you need a new bench top, it will be made to fit your existing bench. Whether it is a small job or a large one, Glen Turner Furniture Studio can do it. Below is a list of the types of services offered, however, others may also be available.
Furniture Design

- Pieces can be made to fit exactly into a space and they will come and measure up to ensure the perfect fit.
- The Studio will guide you through the design stage, offering their expert advice with things such as:
- What size table is needed to seat the people required?

- What is the right height for a bed to suit me and my mattress?
