At Knotty But Nice, every grain tells a story — and so do we...
What began as a personal passion project involved creating unique garden furniture. It also included rustic outdoor spaces for our home. This quickly sparked interest from friends, family, and neighbours. Their encouragement — and their requests — turned that hobby into something bigger. That’s how Knotty But Nice was born.
From handmade garden furniture to custom-designed verandas and decking, and engaging outdoor play spaces we craft everything with care. We have a deep respect for the materials. We mainly use slow-grown, high-grade Scandinavian redwood. It is selected for its characterful grain and knotted finish. This perfectly suits our tactile, frontier-inspired style. Every piece is hand-finished, ensuring the quality and individuality you deserve.
We’re proudly based in Upton Upon Severn. We serve homes across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire. We’re always happy to go further for the right project.
You’ve come to the right place. You can shop from our range of pre-made, rustic outdoor furniture. Alternatively, explore a bespoke outdoor space that truly reflects your personality.
