Premium Modular Furniture by Beaver & Tapley
Beaver & Tapley has been a pioneer in innovative furniture design since its founding in 1919. Originally established in London to deal in government surplus, the company evolved into a renowned furniture manufacturer through decades of creative vision and technical advancement. The introduction of the Tapley 33 modular system in 1975 revolutionised space-saving design, offering unparalleled flexibility in home environments. Under current ownership, the brand has been meticulously restored to its former glory, expanding its product range while maintaining strict UK-based manufacturing standards. Our team combines generational expertise with contemporary design principles to deliver furniture that balances aesthetics, functionality, and durability.We operate a factory showroom in Andover, Hampshire, and maintain a network of authorised stockists across the UK. Our commitment to quality is evident in every detail, from sustainably sourced hardwoods to precision-engineered fixings. Technical innovation remains at our core, exemplified by our patented wall mounting systems and adaptable modular configurations. We provide comprehensive aftercare support, including replacement parts and installation guidance, ensuring long-term satisfaction with every purchase. With over a century of design heritage, we continue to push boundaries while staying true to our founding principles of excellence and craftsmanship.

Report
We have had a number of light oak Tapley units for over 25 years. They have just moved with us into a third house and they are not only making the most of our new space but making it ours in a way no other furniture can. The design is so timeless it hasn't aged at all and it still looks as stylish today as it did 25 years ago.
