MANUFACTURING Coastwood Furniture Known for supplying quality furniture through retailers nationwide, Coastwood Furniture of Greymouth is expanding into the commercial sector with the launch of a new website to provide a key touch point for businesses seeking direct engagement. The family-owned furniture manufacturer is now supplying its locally crafted products directly to accommodation providers, developers, and commercial builders across Aotearoa. “We’ve always focused on New Zealand-made quality and local production,” says Paige Hill, third-generation Hill family member and Coastwood’s marketing manager. “Branching into commercial is about expanding our reach while maintaining the high standards and flexibility we’re known for.” With projects already underway, and more in the pipeline, Coastwood’s commercial arm offers tailored furniture solutions for hotels, motels, lodges, Air BnB, apartments, and other commercial settings needing stylish and durable furniture. Their New Zealand-designed-and-made furniture solutions will enhance commercial environments for accommodation providers, hospitality spaces, motels and hotels, and property developers and interior designers across the country. “We’ve launched a new website, www.coastwoodcommercial.co.nz, to browse product options, enquire directly, and access Coastwood’s experienced team for project planning and customisation of commercial furnishings for projects of any scale,” says Paige. Their commercial New Zealand-made range comes with a 10-year guarantee, reinforcing confidence in its durability and build quality. Founded in 1997 by Paige’s grandfather, Coastwood Furniture began as a chair manufacturer with just two designs. Today, it employs over 30 people at its Arney Street facility, which houses everything from the machine shop and assembly line to dispatch and office. Over the years, strategic acquisitions, including Northwood Furniture, Galleon Woodware, and the intellectual property of Royal Furniture, have helped solidify Coastwood Furniture as a leading manufacturer and supplier of household furniture to major retailers such as Harvey Norman and Smiths City. Customers can choose from a wide array of custom options, including colours, sizes, handles, and finishes. Its core residential range includes traditional and contemporary living room, dining, occasional, bedroom, office, and outdoor furniture. “Our residential range comes with a 25-year quality guarantee on all New Zealand-made residential furniture, the longest guarantee available in the local market,” says Paige. Manufactured from New Zealand pine or American ash, a premium hardwood, Coastwood Furniture is ‘legacy furniture’ designed and built to last generations. Coastwood’s values remain firmly grounded in supporting locally made. “There are few New Zealand-made manufacturers like us left, so supporting New Zealand-made isn’t just a slogan,” says Paige. “ It means more choice, better service, and the ability to trace your product straight back to the maker.” As the country’s retail sector faces tighter consumer spending, Coastwood Furniture is doubling down on what it does best: offering high-quality, customisable, and locally made furniture that holds its value. Coastwood Furniture’s strength lies in its domestic production capabilities, ensuring faster turnaround times and the ability to meet specific client needs. “Now we’re excited to bring that same quality and care to the commercial space,” says Paige. Whether you are fitting out a home, a motel, lodge, or multi-unit development, Coastwood Furniture delivers solutions that are built to last.
