Since 1986
It began with two brothers and a single workshop in Edington, a belief that furniture should be made by hand, to last a lifetime.
Benton Furniture was founded in 1986 by Richard and Steven Benton, in the rural village of Edington, Somerset. What began as a small family workshop has grown into a renowned maker of high-end furniture, working with clients all over the UK.
We design individual pieces around the unique needs and tastes of each customer, fitted and freestanding alike, so every commission sits seamlessly within the home it was made for. Our skilled craftsmen use only premium materials, guaranteeing the highest quality and durability in every piece.

In Their Words
Trusted in some of the finest homes
Nothing is off the shelf. Every commission is designed around your home and built from scratch in our workshop.
Fantastic quality and design. My kitchen still looks just as good as it did when it was first installed 10 years ago.
Everything is built to last.
Jessica Coombes
Brilliant product and an outstanding service from everyone at Benton’s involved in the making and fitting of my fabulous kitchen.
I can’t praise the company enough.
Lynn Hall
After 12 years our kitchen is still as good as new. Excellent quality and I remember the service and installation were fantastic all those years ago.
George Malcolm
Bentons did an outstanding job from start to finish. We had several bathrooms, utility room, wood panelling and window seats made and installed.
Great team, fantastic quality and competitive price.

Benton Furniture did a fantastic job on our kitchen again (this is actually our second kitchen from them, following a house move).
The service was flawless as before- from the imaginative design based off our brief, to the attention to detail shown during the expert fitting.
Jon Bunker
My old built-in wardrobes were long past their sell by date, making poor use of the space available.
Jack from Benton Furniture visited, discussed with me what I wanted to achieve, suggested some options and took measurements.
Kerry Gascoigne
Bespoke kitchen installed 12 years ago and very satisfied. Just had units refurbished and repainted by same company and it’s as good as new.
They took time to ensure all the doors fitted well and drawers self closed. They did a good job.
Nick “Dr Nick”
I would highly recommend Benton Furniture. They have installed 2 kitchens for us over the years and we have been very impressed.
They very kindly re visited recently to do some adjustments even though my kitchen was fitted several years ago. They are a pleasure to deal with and we will definitely be using them again.
