This beautiful writing bureau has been fully restored to a professional standard. Hand painted in organic furniture paint of a vibrant colour to bring it into the 21st Century as a modern working or studying area with ample storage space.

With barley twist legs, painted by hand and the solid oak wood protected using Osmo oil. This centre piece is not only stunning but perfectly functioning as a writing or study desk.

The environmentally friendly and extremely durable oil, shows off the fantastic solid oak panels and highlights the natural medullary rays in the grain of the oak wood.

Brand new solid brass hardware has been fitted all round which includes, escutcheon, lock, hinges and all drawer pulls adding to the exquisite finish.

Re finished in a 21st Century style the bureau has been given extra protection  against knocks, scuffs and spillages with a heavy duty durable varnish.

The drawers have been lined and painted on the inside with the outside waxed and eased to proved smooth opening and closing.

The lining paper depicts colourful passerine birds sitting in trees inspiring the main yellow paint colour. The pretty lining paper has also been given two coats of a clear matt varnish for protection when storing items in the drawers or using the desk area.

The inside has a modern twist. An open area exists to sit essentials or even place your favorite beverage when working.

"The sideboard is stunning, thank you. Looks perfect in my flat. As if it was meant to be there".

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".

Beautiful Chair

I wanted a bit more of a statement piece for the alcove in my dining room and instantly loved the fabric on this restored chair. It looks great and something different to what’s available in a furniture store. Customer service and delivery was great too and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Upcite to friends and family. I’ll certainly keep an eye out for other pieces that become available that will look great in my home.

Beautiful ottoman

Here is the ottoman in its new place - I said to Julie that its photo didn’t really do it justice - its absolutely lovely.

I would LIKE to be able to say that every purchase I make is dominated by deciding what's best for the environment.
However, to be honest it's more the individual artistry that goes into it that makes it a special unique piece of furniture. You simply cannot buy that new. Unless I suppose you commission an individual piece, in which case the astronomical price would put me off.
I was trawling for sideboards several months ago and one just jumped out screaming "buy me!" I did and I absolutely love it. I bought a beautiful trunk from her as well.
So now I will always see what upcycled beauties are available before buying new.

Purchased 3 large bookcases

I honestly was so delighted with finally getting hold of this beautiful piece which I had set my eyes on for sometime now! The communication with the seller was outstanding, he was so engaged in securing the assembly and delivery happens. Honestly, UPCITE was a great experience for me with your few emails checking is all fine. Very spot on for this type of items. The only leaa pleasant experience was the delivery team themselves, not the courier company; they damaged some paint on my walls, on the bookcase. Perhaps the packing could also be more secured at the edges as discussed with Gabriel.

Please continue the great work, much appreciated.
