International furniture retailer Castlery will debut in the UK this autumn as it looks for ‘the sweet spot’ of style, quality, and price while offering next-week delivery.
The 12-year old company will begin selling online in the UK in September as its first expansion into Europe.
The retailer already operates in Singapore, Australia, Canada and the US.
The offer will initial concentrate on Castlery’s bestselling ranges, including the Auburn and Jonathan sofas; Harper dining table and Sloane storage range.
It has signed a 10-year deal with Maersk to handle deliveries. ‘This collaboration ensures end-to-end freight and fulfilment services—from factory to front door—bringing greater speed, reliability, and transparency to customers across the UK,’ it says.
Castlery was founded as response to the personal experience of four friends who went through the painful process of shopping for home furnishings in Singapore. They came across inconsistent discounting practices, endured long and uncertain lead times, and questioned whether they were getting fair prices.
‘When we launched Castlery, we felt that our only options were to settle for furniture within our price range that was lacking in style, quality, and durability, or pay high prices for high-end designer pieces. Little was available between the two extremes. We still think that there is a significant gap in the “sweet spot” of style, quality, and price in many countries around the world, including the UK,’ says Declan Ee, Castlery co-founder.
‘We make products for the design-obsessed and so the UK is the perfect market for us. British shoppers have always appreciated quality craftsmanship and design, and they share our belief that furniture should be built to last. We’re here to help British homemakers create beautiful, liveable spaces with furniture that stands the test of time.’
