Yes — Montalvi is a UK manufacturer that makes its furniture in its own British workshops rather than importing or reselling. It is a trading name of Mando Systems Ltd, registered in England and Wales (company no. 17168657).

Montalvi is a manufacturer, not a wholesaler — it makes each piece to order in its own British workshops rather than selling a fixed catalogue from stock. This means you can specify any size, finish or design and have it built to your requirements, including under your own brand.

Unlike an importer that buys finished furniture from overseas factories, Montalvi manufactures its own furniture in Britain and controls the whole process. That lets it build to your exact specification, keep quality consistent, and produce under your own label rather than reselling someone else's product.

Montalvi furniture is made in Britain, in Montalvi's own workshops, rather than imported. Owning the manufacturing means Montalvi controls quality, specification and lead times directly.

Yes — Montalvi makes fully bespoke furniture to order, including beds, wardrobes, chests, bedsides, desks, tables, storage, seating, vanity units and TV units in any size and finish. Because it manufactures in-house, custom dimensions and specifications are standard rather than an exception.

Yes — Montalvi produces furniture under your own label, unbranded and blind-shipped, for you to sell as your own. Because it manufactures in-house it can white-label any piece so it carries your brand rather than Montalvi's.

We're a trade-first British furniture brand. Most of our work is wholesale — landlords, letting and estate agents, property developers, HMO and student operators, build-to-rent schemes, housing associations, hotels and serviced-apartment providers — supplied by the room or by the hundred. We also take individual bespoke commissions for private clients, subject to a minimum order value.

Yes. While our trade minimum is 5 units per design, we accept one-off bespoke commissions for private clients where the order meets our minimum value — design it in the studio or send us your idea and we'll quote it.

Send your list and quantities through the enquiry form, on WhatsApp, or by email to enquiries@montalvi.com. A dedicated account manager replies with tailored trade pricing, usually within one business day.

We're a made-to-order trade supplier rather than a retail showroom. The online Design Studio lets you configure and view any piece in real-time 3D, and we'll send samples and full specifications on request.

Yes. Everything is made to order, so finishes, sizes and two-tone combinations can be specified to match your scheme or brand across an entire order.

Yes — a minimum of 5 units per design, and you can mix finishes within that. We'll also make a single bespoke piece where the order value supports it. Larger schemes are exactly what we're built for, so ask us about volume pricing.

Every order is made to order. The Design Studio shows an indicative estimate with VAT and delivery quoted separately so you can size up a budget instantly, and we confirm your exact trade price the moment you enquire. Pricing improves with volume.

Made-to-order orders are typically confirmed with a deposit, with the balance due before dispatch; established trade accounts can be set up for repeat buyers. Exact terms are set out in your quote and in our Terms & Conditions. Full details: see Terms & Conditions and Delivery & Returns in the footer.

Yes. Because every piece is made to order, you can specify finishes, sizes and two-tone combinations unit by unit while keeping a single quote and one delivery.

Yes. Your specification is recorded, so a reorder months or even years later matches your existing units exactly — the same finish, the same build.

Your choice. We supply flat-packed to clear tight stairwells and lifts, or fully assembled for a turnkey handover — whichever suits the project.

As a guide, flat-pack orders typically ship in around 2–4 weeks and fully-assembled in around 4–6 weeks; larger schemes are phased to your programme. Your exact lead time is confirmed at order — tell us your handover or move-in date and we plan the run around it.

Made-to-order goods carry a workmanship warranty against manufacturing defects (notify us with photos within 14 days of discovering a defect); fair wear and tear and misuse are excluded. Because pieces are made to your spec they can't be returned once manufacture has started, except where faulty or not as ordered — then we repair, replace or credit. Full terms: Terms & Warranty and Delivery & Returns, linked in the footer.

Yes — to any postcode in the UK. We deliver as a single consolidated drop or split across multiple sites, consolidated or phased to match your programme.

Yes. For developments and build-to-rent schemes we coordinate phased delivery floor by floor or phase by phase, so furniture arrives exactly when each unit is ready.

A-grade 18mm and 15mm board with metal handles and fittings as standard — made to order in Britain and delivered nationwide. We don't claim solid hardwood; we make durable, contract-grade furniture honestly.

Yes — it's specified for contract use, with A-grade board, metal handles and corner protection built for high-turnover lettings and constant guest use rather than light domestic wear.

Eight core finishes plus any two-tone combination, every piece made to order — so a whole development or portfolio can share one consistent look.

Yes. Our furniture is made to the relevant UK fire-safety standards for the setting — including the Furniture & Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, with upholstered items available to contract standards such as Crib 5 (BS 7177 / BS 5852) for HMO, hotel, build-to-rent and social-housing projects. Tell us the setting and we'll confirm the specification and provide compliance documentation on request.

A free online tool that lets you configure any piece — size, finish, structure — and view it in real-time 3D before you enquire. You can also describe what you want in plain English and our AI assistant will build it for you.

The studio shows an indicative estimate inclusive of VAT and UK delivery. It's a guide only — your exact trade price is confirmed when you send the design to us.

Yes. Every design can be sent to our workshop for a made-to-order quote, by enquiry or WhatsApp, with the full specification attached automatically.

Montalvi makes practically any case and joinery furniture to order in its own British workshops — beds, wardrobes, chests, bedside cabinets, desks, tables, storage, seating, vanity units, TV units, bookcases and shoe racks, plus fully bespoke pieces. Everything is built to your size and finish and made contract-grade to last.

Yes — Montalvi makes bookcases, shelving and shoe racks to order in Britain, in any height, width and configuration. Whether freestanding or built to fit an alcove, each piece is made to your finish and built to last.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for hotels. Because every piece is built in our own British workshops, guest-room beds, headboards, wardrobes, desks and reception joinery can be produced to your exact dimensions and finish, made robust enough for constant guest turnover, and manufactured as a matched, coordinated scheme rather than assembled from off-the-shelf ranges. It's contract-grade and trade only, with pricing on application.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for serviced apartments and aparthotels. These spaces need furniture that works hard in a compact footprint, so we can build storage-led beds, fitted wardrobes, kitchen-diner seating and multi-use pieces sized precisely to each unit type, and repeat that specification identically across every apartment in the building. Made to order in Britain, trade only, contact us for a quote.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for Airbnb and short-let properties. Short-let interiors take heavy, unsupervised use and need to photograph well and stand up to frequent guests, so we build durable, easy-to-clean pieces in your chosen finish and can match sizes to awkward rooms exactly. Everything is made to order in our own British workshops on trade terms.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for property developers. Because we control manufacturing end to end, we can produce a whole development's furniture to a single specification across every plot or apartment type, hold a consistent finish from block to block, and build to the durability a handover scheme demands. It's contract-grade, made in Britain, and quoted on a trade basis for the project.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for build-to-rent. BTR needs furniture specified once and reproduced identically at volume, then reordered years later to match as units are refreshed — all of which suits our make-to-order model, since we hold your spec and can rebuild to it whenever you return. Trade only, contract-grade, no figures shown online.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for letting and estate agents furnishing or dressing properties. Whether you're kitting out a landlord's rental or staging a home for sale, we can build fitted and freestanding pieces to the room, in finishes that present well and wear well, and produce them unbranded so they sit neatly within your own service. Made to order in Britain, trade pricing on request.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for landlords, from a single let to a whole portfolio. Rental furniture has to survive tenant turnover and be quick to replace like-for-like, so we build hard-wearing beds, wardrobes and storage to your sizes and keep your specification on file so a later reorder matches what's already in place. Contract-grade, made in our British workshops, trade only.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for HMOs. Houses in multiple occupation need compact, robust, space-efficient furniture repeated across many near-identical rooms — beds with built-in storage, sturdy desks, lockable or fitted wardrobes — and making to order lets us size each piece to tight rooms and reproduce the set room after room. Built to last for shared, high-traffic use; trade only, quote on enquiry.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for student accommodation. Student rooms demand tough, tightly-sized study-bedroom furniture that takes heavy annual turnover, so we can build fitted desks, beds, shelving and wardrobes to the exact room module and manufacture them at scale to one durable specification across a block or hall. Made in Britain, contract-grade, trade pricing supplied on request.

Yes — Montalvi makes furniture to order for hospitality and workplace settings including restaurants, pubs and offices. Front-of-house and workplace furniture takes constant public and staff use, so we build contract-grade seating, tables, banquettes, storage and desks to your exact sizes and finish — and, because we own the manufacturing, can deliver it as one coordinated, on-brand scheme. Made in Britain, trade only, priced on application.

Contract-grade furniture is furniture built to withstand heavy, repeated use in commercial and multi-occupancy settings — hotels, rentals, offices and student housing — rather than the lighter duty expected of everyday home furniture. It uses more robust construction, tougher surfaces and fixings that hold up to constant turnover. Montalvi manufactures contract-grade furniture to order in its own British workshops, built to last for demanding trade environments.

Crib 5 is a high ignition-resistance standard for upholstered furniture, tested to BS 5852 Crib source 5, and BS 7177 classifies the fire resistance of mattresses and divans by hazard level (low, medium, high). Contract settings such as hotels, HMOs and student accommodation typically require the higher fire ratings that domestic furniture may not meet. Montalvi makes furniture to order and can specify pieces to the fire-safety classification your project requires.

FF&E stands for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment — the movable furnishings and finishing items specified for a building's interior, as distinct from the fixed structure itself. It's the standard procurement category property developers, hotels and fit-out teams use when sourcing furniture for a scheme. Montalvi manufactures FF&E to order in Britain and can produce an entire coordinated scheme for a project.

A furniture pack is a pre-specified, coordinated set of furniture supplied to furnish a whole room or property in one go — commonly used by landlords, developers and build-to-rent operators to fit out units consistently. It bundles the pieces a space needs so everything matches and arrives together. Montalvi makes furniture to order and can build coordinated packs to a single specification across multiple rooms or units.

White-label, or own-label, furniture is furniture made by a manufacturer but sold under the buyer's own brand rather than the maker's — arriving unbranded so the seller can add their own identity. Because the manufacturer stays invisible, the reseller presents the pieces as their own line. Montalvi owns its manufacturing, so it can produce furniture unbranded under a client's own brand, ready for brands, designers and online sellers to sell as their own.

Made-to-order furniture is built only after an order is placed, produced to the buyer's chosen size, finish and specification rather than pulled from ready-made stock. It gives control over dimensions, materials and detailing that off-the-shelf ranges cannot. Montalvi makes furniture entirely to order in its own British workshops — any piece, any size, any finish — on trade pricing, so contact them for a quote.

For rental and contract furniture, engineered boards such as high-density MDF and moisture-resistant chipboard with durable laminate or lacquered surfaces are widely used because they resist knocks, moisture and constant handling while staying dimensionally stable. Tough edging and solid fixings matter as much as the board itself for high-turnover use. Montalvi manufactures to order and specifies robust, contract-appropriate materials built to last in rentals, HMOs and hotels.

Domestic furniture is designed for normal household use, while contract furniture is engineered for the heavier wear, higher turnover and often stricter fire-safety requirements of commercial and multi-occupancy settings. The two can look similar but differ in construction strength, surface durability and compliance. Montalvi manufactures contract-grade furniture to order in Britain, built for hotels, developers, landlords and student accommodation.

Blind-shipped means an order is delivered with no reference to the original manufacturer on the packaging or paperwork, so the recipient sees only the seller's brand — or no brand at all. It lets a reseller supply customers without revealing who actually made the goods. Montalvi can produce furniture unbranded and blind-shipped, so creators, brands and online sellers can sell under their own name.

Bespoke furniture is designed and built from scratch to a specific brief — dimensions, layout, materials and detailing all chosen for the project — whereas customised furniture starts from an existing design and adjusts options like size or finish. Bespoke offers full freedom; customisation offers flexibility within a set framework. Montalvi does both, made to order in its own British workshops, from a tweaked standard piece to a fully bespoke design.

Buy flat-pack when you need a low commitment, standard-sized item quickly and can accept fixed dimensions and finishes; choose made-to-order when the piece has to fit a specific space, match an existing scheme or stand up to heavy use. Montalvi makes furniture to order in its own British workshops, so pieces are built to your sizes, finishes and durability requirements rather than assembled from a fixed catalogue. For one-off domestic buys flat-pack can be enough, but for projects and hard-wearing settings, made-to-order removes the compromises.

Made-to-order furniture is worth it when fit, finish, consistency or longevity matter more than buying something off the shelf today. Because Montalvi manufactures each piece to order in Britain, you specify the exact size, finish and construction, which avoids the gaps, mismatches and short lifespans that force early replacement of mass-produced items. It is most worthwhile for spaces with awkward dimensions, a defined look to hold, or furniture that will be used intensively.

Buying British-made furniture gives you a shorter, more accountable supply chain, closer control over specification and the ability to reorder matching pieces later. Montalvi manufactures entirely to order in its own British workshops, so you deal directly with the maker rather than an importer, and can set sizes, finishes and contract-grade construction. That direct line makes it easier to get built-to-last quality and to keep future orders consistent.

For a project, a manufacturer is usually the stronger choice because it can build to your exact sizes and finishes and hold that specification across a scheme, whereas a high-street retailer sells whatever is in its fixed range. Montalvi makes furniture to order in Britain and can produce complete room and building schemes to a single spec, which a stock retailer cannot guarantee. A retailer may still suit a quick single purchase, but project work benefits from the control a made-to-order manufacturer gives you.

To furnish awkward or non-standard rooms, use a made-to-order manufacturer that builds to your measurements rather than trying to adapt stock sizes. Montalvi manufactures each piece to order in its British workshops, so wardrobes, beds, storage, desks and more can be made to fit alcoves, low ceilings, sloped walls or unusual footprints exactly. Supply the dimensions and the piece is built around the space instead of the space being worked around the furniture.

Choose a rental or hotel furniture supplier on durability, consistency and the ability to reorder matching pieces, not on price alone. Montalvi is built for demanding settings, making contract-grade furniture to order in Britain so it can be specified to withstand heavy, repeated use and reproduced to the same spec as you add or replace units. Look for a maker that can prove built-to-last construction and hold your specification over time, which is exactly what made-to-order manufacturing supports.

Ask a furniture manufacturer where the pieces are actually made, whether they build to your sizes and finishes, how they handle contract-grade durability, whether they can reproduce a matching reorder later, and how delivery and lead times work. With Montalvi the answers are that furniture is made to order in its own British workshops, in any size and finish, built to last, with schemes reproducible to a single spec. Clear answers on origin, customisation and consistency tell you whether a supplier can support a project rather than just a one-off sale.
