ABOUT US
The Slab Lads, experts in timber design and finishing,
are committed to crafting the highest quality timber slab furniture and homewares. Our dedication to creativity, craftsmanship, and community drives our mission.
Produced locally south of Brisbane using Australian recycled timber, each piece is uniquely crafted and designed for lasting durability. Whether it's a bespoke creation or a restoration project, our collaborative
approach ensures that every client receives a distinctive piece that revitalises their home or business.
At the heart of our brand are our clients, empowering us to be creative and pursue our artistry.
Our committment
We are mindful of the impact mass furniture manufacturing has on the environment and we are committed to improving our footprint in the way we design, produce and recycle waste. The slabs we source come from salvaged wood yards where they have been kiln-dried. The minimal off-cuts that come off your slabs aren't wasted, however turned into small homewares, like chopping boards or mirrors.
​
We also continue to integrate with our local community by contributing to non-for-profit auctions and providing plaques for the Tarragindi Scout Group and providing workshop classes for the West Metro Pirates Basketball Team.
Slabs are our passion and superior craftsmanship is our difference.
Quality assurance
Our products come with a guarantee of longevity and high quality condition. We only work with kiln-dried slabs meaning your piece will not expand or distort once it's coated and finish your slabs with trusted resin brands that offer only the best result.
Price integrity
Why are our products an investment?
When coating your slab we only use the most premium products. Where most timber furniture makers use regular lacquer, our products are finished with a car-grade 2 pack, ensuring the most durable end result.
1 coat of resin= 35 coats of lacquer

"The Lads crafted me a Queen Bed, Bed side tables with a blue river through them. They also crafted me a unit for my records, cds etc, with a green river through it. Words can not describe the beauty of these pieces, they are more than I'd hoped they'd be. They travelled out to my house to set-up my bed and make sure my unit was set up properly. 10 out of 10 Lads. Although there is one big problem with this furniture they make and that is I want MORE of it!"

"Stephen and Bailey from The Slab Lads are master craftsmen. From the moment we floated our ideas to them, to the delivery this week of our amazing outdoor furniture has been seamless. Such a pleasure doing business with them.
We couldn’t recommend them as businessmen or the workmanship itself highly enough."

"Stephen and his small team were fantastic to deal with, arriving on location to measure and discuss our space, they provided the time frame, reassured us what we should expect, I visited the factory to look at the raw material. Contacted me the week before install to arrange delivery time, installed and we are so happy with our final product. Both desks are working well for myself and our teenager in a corner space. Love them, thank you! We are working on other pieces we may get made elsewhere around our house/pergola."

"Want to thank The Slab Lads for the absolutely beautiful creation of our new Whares table and bench seat. The whole process from start to finish stress free and supported. We love it for its originality and look forward to the many loved ones we will share it with. Thank you for customising our family name. It’s awesome.
If you are procrastinating about getting a table made, go see The Slab Lads today. They will talk you through the whole process and help you choose the best slab."

"We couldn’t be happier with our stunning new bar top and bar table.
We still need to put up the bar shelves and are so impressed we are thinking they should do our bar shelves two.
Fantastic service and follow-up.
These guys are top shelf. Thanks so much"

"From the moment we walked into the showroom we knew we were in a special place. The workmanship we saw and customer service we received was outstanding. We selected our raw slab and picked up a beautiful top for our WIR 6 weeks later. Thanks guys, we will be back when we are ready to renovate the ensuite."

"I sent through a message to the Slab Lads needing a very specific piece for a desk which they had stock of. After then selling me that piece at an affordable price, Stephen then cut the slab to the perfect dimensions of what I needed and proceeded to talk me through exactly what I need to finish it to the finest detail for the exact result I was after. He was contactable through the entire process with prompt responses and I ended up getting a near flawless result that I couldn't be happier with. If I could rate 10/5 I would."

"These guys are amazing! I highly recommend their work and customer service. They custom designed a magnificent outdoor table with bench seats that have the most professional and classy finish. Amazing workmanship and also incredible price for the quality of work they do! Five stars all round!"
