From raw teak to two finished queen-size hydraulic beds — sharing the entire process
We recently completed a custom order for a client: two twin queen-size hydraulic storage beds made from teak wood. 🪵
Thought I’d share the journey from raw materials to the finished product, rather than just posting the final photos.
There’s a lot that goes into a piece of furniture that you don’t usually see — selecting the wood, building the frame, getting the proportions right, fitting the hydraulic mechanism, and finally bringing everything together with the finish.
I’ll share the photos in sequence, from the raw teak stage to the completed beds.
We’re a furniture manufacturing team based in Visakhapatnam, India, and we’re trying to document more of our actual workshop work — the good parts, the challenges, and everything in between.
For those who work with wood or have bought solid-wood furniture: what would you look at first when judging the quality of a hydraulic bed — the wood, the frame construction, the hardware, or the finish?
Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts!
