Woodform Factory

We have found a great factory in Montague Gardens, Cape Town. They specialise in flat-pack furniture, much like Ikea. Paul and his team will be building the Nested Bunk Bed for us. Here are some pics of the factory. Tsai and I were on a visit to work out how to make assembly instructions. It's not easy!
