A workshop, not a warehouse
Fourteen people, one floor in Tebrau, and a stubborn belief that furniture should be made for the room it will live in.
It started with one bench and a borrowed bandsaw
Dogly Craftworks began in a rented shoplot when our founder, a second-generation joiner, took on a single commission: a dining table too long for any showroom to stock. That table led to a bedroom set, the bedroom set to a café, and within three years the shoplot had become a proper workshop in Kawasan Perindustrian Tebrau IV.
Today the team counts fourteen — joiners, an upholsterer, two finishers and a draughtsman — but the working method has never changed. One project lead follows your piece from the first sketch to the final coat of oil, and nothing leaves the floor until it would survive our own homes.
Hands that have done this for decades
Our senior joiners each carry more than twenty years at the bench. They cut mortise-and-tenon joints by eye, tune hand planes older than the company, and argue — at length — about grain direction. We would not have it any other way.
Alongside them, a younger crew handles CNC templating, 3D drawings and finishing chemistry. The mix matters: traditional joinery gives our furniture its lifespan, and modern tooling gives it its precision and keeps prices honest.
- Every joint glued and mechanically fastened — no staples, no shortcuts
- In-house upholstery bench with double-stitched seams
- Finishing room with humidity control for a flawless final coat
Come and knock on the tables
A corner of the workshop is set aside as a small showroom. It is not staged like a mall display — the pieces there are commissions awaiting delivery and prototypes we test ourselves. Visitors are welcome to open every drawer, sit hard on every chair and see stock timber in the racks next door.
We are open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Drop in, or book a consultation so the right project lead is on hand when you arrive.
Bring us a difficult room
Sloped ceilings, odd corners, pieces no catalogue makes — that is the work we enjoy most.
