About
A furniture shop that sells to other shops
The way we work
Furniture sold the way a shop buys its tools.
Tillworth sells cafe furniture to cafes, bakeries, delis and small chains of coffee shops. We carry the chairs, stools, bistro tables, tops and bases a working shop needs, plus a few pieces for the sidewalk out front.
Every product page gives the size in inches and prices the exact options you pick. Lay out the counter, the window and the tables in a shop plan, copy it when the second shop opens, and send the order once the numbers add up. One of us reads every line before anything is charged.

We sell furniture to people who sell coffee, bread and sandwiches. That is the whole of it. Our customers open early, close late and count the chairs at the end of the week, and they buy furniture the way they buy an oven: for the work it has to do.
What we carry
Cafe chairs in metal and wood, bar and counter stools, bistro tables, table tops and bases, benches, a few accessories and patio pieces for the shop front. Everything on the site can be priced by its options before you order, and every page lists the size in inches so you can hold a tape against your floor first.
We keep the range to the kind of furniture a counter shop uses. If a piece isn't on the site, we don't sell it.
Why somebody reads every order
Picture a deli owner who orders 20 chairs with dark wood seats and four tables with a 30-inch top on a base meant for a 24-inch top. On a plain checkout that order would sail through. Here a person reads it first, line by line, and writes back when something doesn't add up: a base that is too small for its top, a stool that is too tall for the ledge, two finishes where you probably meant one.
That reading happens before anything is charged. You send the order, we check it, then we email the confirmed order with the freight quote and the payment instructions. No money changes hands until you have seen all three.
How we describe a piece
Plainly. A product page tells you what the frame and seat are made of, the listed size, the options and the warranty period where it is clear. We name what the thing is, a metal ladder-back chair or a cast iron base, and leave the adjectives out. When we write about care, we stick to what the material can take.
The room pictures on our pages are AI-generated concepts, captioned as such. They show an idea of a shop, not a real customer's room.
What we will tell you up front
- Freight sits outside the furniture price. We work it out per address once we've read the order.
- We work by email only. There is no phone line to call, though you can book a weekday callback from a specialist.
- Custom work, meaning a fabric or vinyl not on the option list, a special finish or an odd size, is slower to make and final once we confirm it.
- Eight pieces is the floor for an order, with tables and chairs counted together.
For the second shop and the tenth
Regulars notice when the room changes. A shop that opens a second site usually wants the same chair, the same stool and the same top as the first, so customers know where they are the moment they sit down. Save each shop's layout as a plan in shop plans, keep a project sheet, and order from that sheet next time. Because finish colors change over time, ask for a fresh swatch from free samples before a reorder and confirm the color with us first.
