Q. Where is In Your Room furniture made?

A. All IYR products are designed and manufactured to a high quality in Australia. We unreservedly pay tribute to our manufacturing partners and are proud to be Australian-made.

Q. How durable is IYR furniture?

A. All IYR pieces and finishes are suitable for general domestic use. Where heavy use is expected in the home or product is destined for a commercial or public setting, IYR recommends European Beech over Hoop-Pine, the former being a harder wood. Alternatively, laminate is an attractive, durable finish.

Q. How does plywood furniture fare environmentally?

A. Plywood is a responsible choice in environmental terms. It is manufactured from a natural, renewable resource; wood, harvested from plantation forests. Energy requirements for the manufacture of plywood are low in comparison to most other competitive products. It is therefore not only aesthetically pleasing, but environmentally sensitive.

Q. Is IYR furniture suitable for outdoor use?

A. No. IYR furniture is intended for indoor use only.

Q. Can IYR customise furniture?

A. IYR can modify certain pieces within its range, but only within the parameters permitted by the mould from which each piece is made. For example, the product called “Module” can be made lower than its standard 430mm or trimmed so that it is less than its usual length of 1200 mm. It cannot, however, have its 460mm (tunnel width) measurement pushed out or in.
