Before you order
How long it takes
Every piece is built by hand in our own workshop, so lead times move with the seasons. Spring and summer are our busiest stretch and waits get longer; order in autumn or winter and you will usually have it sooner. These are averages. We will give you a firmer date when you order, and keep you posted if anything changes.
Garden furniture
Benches, tables, planters and picnic sets. Made to order in our workshop, not pulled off a shelf.
Sheds & summer houses
Larger builds take longer, and we will agree a delivery and installation date with you well before then.
Made with purpose
Every piece tells a story of hope
This item was handmade in the Cornerstone workshop, where people with lived experience of homelessness learn woodworking skills, earn a wage and rebuild their confidence. When you buy from us, you're not just buying beautiful furniture. You're helping someone find their way home.
- Crafted by people rebuilding their lives after homelessness
- Real paid work, training and mentoring along the way
- Profits fund safe housing across the North East

* Your basket total is shown as the number of nights of immediate access accommodation it could fund. Money from sales and donations goes into our general funds rather than being ring-fenced to one particular bed. That way we can put it wherever the need is greatest that week. It still does exactly the work described; pooling it simply means we can respond to whoever comes through the door.
Gift vouchers
Not sure which one? Let them choose.
A Cornerstone gift voucher works on anything we make. A bench, a shed, a planter, a mud kitchen. They pick the piece and the finish, and every penny still goes into housing and supporting people facing homelessness across the North East.
