About Australian Furniture Makers

Australian Made Kids Beds Built for Real Family Life

Australian Furniture Makers Pty Ltd – A Proud Ballarat Story

Australian Furniture Makers Pty Ltd is a family-owned business proudly based in Ballarat, Victoria, with deep roots in Australian furniture manufacturing. With three generations of experience in the furniture industry, our work is shaped by decades of hands-on knowledge passed down through family tradition.

This experience informs everything we do today — from thoughtful design and careful material selection through to solid construction and finishing. We don’t design furniture for showrooms or short-term trends. We build furniture for real family life, where strength, durability and practicality matter.

Australian Made, Built to Last

We specialise in manufacturing strong kids beds (strong enough for adults), including beds with extra-large underbed storage drawers and trundle beds for sleepovers and guests. Our designs focus on solving real-world space challenges without compromising on strength or longevity.

All our beds are engineered to be strong enough for adults as well as children, making them suitable for bedtime stories, growing families, and everyday use. Every product we make is backed by a 5-year structural warranty, reflecting our confidence in both our materials and our workmanship.

Direct to Families, No Retail Mark-Ups

For more than 10 years, Australian Furniture Makers has sold its products exclusively online, allowing us to deal directly with our customers. By removing retail mark-ups and middlemen, we’re able to offer exceptional value while maintaining the high standards expected of Australian made furniture.

This direct relationship also means we can listen to families, understand how our furniture is actually used, and continually refine our designs to better meet real needs.

Why Australian Made Matters

Choosing furniture that is made in Australia supports far more than just quality craftsmanship. It helps sustain local jobs, apprenticeships and skilled trades, keeping manufacturing alive in regional Victoria.

Australian manufacturing also delivers meaningful environmental benefits — including fewer transport miles, responsible material sourcing, and furniture built to last rather than be replaced. Our approach prioritises durability and longevity over short-term convenience.

A Better Alternative to Disposable Furniture

We believe our furniture should not be compared with inferior imported alternatives produced purely to meet a price point. Shortcuts in materials and construction often compromise strength, safety and lifespan.

Our focus is different: to create furniture that families can rely on for years, not just a phase of childhood.
