First established in 1933, Furncrafts has been trading for over 75 years. Opened in July of that year by Frederick Rolland, a french polisher by trade, the shop has remained in the family ever since. In the 1980s the shop was taken over by Fred's son Ken who runs the shop today. Despite the change in ownership, Fred remained working at Furncrafts up until his death in December 2001 aged ninety six.

Furncrafts today is Enfield's leading supplier of care chairs, upholstery, and reproduction oak furniture. We are still committed to the same principles that allowed the shop to flourish in the difficult times of the 1930s: high quality, good friendly service, at hard to beat prices. In the year 2000, we won an award for our service from the trade magazine Furnishing, who had sent a mystery shopper around every furniture shop and department store in the Borough.
