Our Timbers are R.E.A.L.
All our timbers are R.E.A.L. timbers: Recycled, Eco-friendly, Affordable, and Legal! By using only R.E.A.L. timber, Villa & Hut assures that the impact of our business on the environment is minimal.

Our goods are handcrafted
Hand made crafts have an individual character and style that factory made products lack. When you buy goods from Villa and Hut, you can be assured that the crafts you chose are one of a kind.

We support local economies
We purchase directly from the people who make our goods, keeping profits in the hands of local craftspeople. By bypassing wholesalers and middleman, we directly support the economies of local villages, where the money is needed most.

Our timber is durable, strong, and beautiful
Mahogany and teak are cherished for their strength and durability. Noted for their grain, color, and texture, these timbers remain porous and supple even after kiln drying. Unlike pinewood, recycled mahogany and teak are not predictable. These woods tend to "breathe" moisture, causing slight contractions and expansions. This is a natural feature of these woods, requiring skilled artisans who understand these unique timbers.
