What did it Used2bee?
Used2bee has a contemporary style that is Retro, Rustic and Recycled
I am Steve Clark and work with my wife Jo (and Bear the cat) working from home in the beautiful Marldon Village in Devon designing retro styled cabinets, rustic shelving and recycled crafts.
We have both been keen environmentalists for 30 years and are now CARBON NUETRAL in production and delivery too.
in 2022 we installed solar power and also changed the diesel van for an EV.
Get involved! Tell us about your own recycled crafts in a convo, or post them on facebook.com/used2bee

4 out of 5 starsThe table is lovely but one of the legs was 2mm too short which meant it wobbled on a hard floor. I had to fix it myself by adding a 2mm washer between the leg and the bottom of the table where it screwed in, which, if I’m being honest, I shouldn’t have to do on a £80+ brand new item. This should have been picked up when it was made. I mentioned it to the seller and though he was polite, he basically gave me the brush off - did I screw the leg on properly? Put a felt pad underneath the leg etc. If it had been me, I would have offered to replace the leg for one of the correct length. I wouldn’t have made him do this (you can’t see the washer), but it would have been nice if it had been offered. Sorry, but that’s why I’m giving him 3 stars customer service, and 4 stars because of the short length. Other than that,I love the table.

My apologies again Paul, sorry that the cabinet has a wobble on your hard floor. This is common with tiled floors as they often are not perfectly even. I don't believe that supplying another identical set of legs will solve the problem though, as they are all made to exactly the same length 🤔 I am happy to exchange for another set if you think it will help. please contact me 😀 steve

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalised orders
I am always receiving requests for customised work so I do welcome a challenge 😀 If you would like something made to your specs then just ask, i would love to see your idea.
Commonly people ask for shelves, bookcases or cabinets to be a little larger, in a special colour, unpainted or with different accessories.
Custom orders usually take a little longer to make and cost a little extra so please ask for a quote.
Sizing details
Sizes are quoted in metric, usually cm.
Where sizes are referred to as small, medium and large it would be the medium or regular size that is most popular or commonly purchased.
Sometimes we have to limit the size of larger items to 115cm in length due to the cost of delivery, especially when it is to be sent outside the UK. If you would like an item made larger than this we would have to confirm the delivery cost for you.
Allow a slight variation in sizes of recycled timber crafts due to the nature and availability of wood used.
The shipping price seems a little high, why is that?
Cost of delivery is calculated on the parcels volumetric weight, which is its measurements multiplied together divided by 5000. Large parcels will then have a much higher cost compared to smaller ones.
Also, the price includes the cost of the high quality recycled packaging that I use to avoid damaged items.
We can offer discounts for shipping when you buy more than one item as often the volume can be condensed by packing then together.
