About Us

A quieter kind of confidence

Quiet isn’t an accident; it’s a choice. Tovatee designs for calm on purpose—solid-wood shelves that put function first, use honest materials, and slip into daily life without noise. The brief stays short by intent: real wood. real craft. real use.

Alongside furniture, Tovatee curates apparel and compact lifestyle pieces to the same bar—useful, well-made, easy to live with—so home and wardrobe feel aligned in quality and tone.

Who Tovatee Is

Tovatee keeps the line short: workshop to doorstep. Fewer handoffs mean quality stays with Tovatee, prices read clean, and conversations stay personal. A small team works under one roof—design beside joinery, quality beside support—so a shelf can move from first sketch to final coat without losing purpose.

Machines lock in precision; hands give character. Edges are eased for touch, grain is oriented so lines read as one, and joints are tuned until they disappear into the form. Messages get a reply within 24 business hours. Even a standard model is handled with custom-level care—planned, built, checked, and packed with one name on the ticket: yours.

For apparel, Tovatee partners with vetted workshops and labels that meet strict material and durability criteria. Fabrics, stitching, trims, and sizing are reviewed in-house; each release stays intentionally small so details stay right and returns stay rare.

What Tovatee Makes

Core focus: handcrafted bookshelves—led by the signature Tree Bookshelf—plus select wall-mounted and sculptural forms. Ready-to-ship pieces support quick dispatch; made-to-order options let you tailor size, profile, carving, or finish to the room. Every shipment includes a clear guide with load ratings, shelf spacing, and safe wall anchoring where needed.

Strength comes from precise joinery and considered structure; warmth comes from careful sanding and well-rubbed finishes. A good shelf does two quiet jobs every day: carry weight without fuss and ground a room without shouting.

Tovatee also offers apparel and small lifestyle goods—clean silhouettes, comfortable materials, and neutral palettes that sit easily beside wood and fabric. Apparel is cut for everyday wear, with charts tied to real measurements and plain-spoken fit notes for fast decisions.

Materials & Sustainability

Tovatee starts with kiln-dried hardwoods—oak, walnut, ash, and maple—chosen for stability across seasons. Lumber is traceable and sourced through established U.S. suppliers such as Weyerhaeuser, Baillie Lumber, Rex Lumber, Baird Brothers, and Bell Forest. Each board is selected for strength and appearance before it becomes a component.

Surfaces receive low-odor, indoor-safe finishes—often plant-based oils or water-borne varnishes—so the wood keeps a natural hand and sits comfortably in homes with children and pets. Sustainability is framed as longevity: make things that last. Long-lived shelves reduce replacements and waste. Offcuts become brackets, finish swatches, or packing spacers; hardware is specified so parts can be replaced instead of discarding the whole.

For apparel, Tovatee favors natural or recycled fibers where possible, labels content clearly, and designs for repeat wear and easy care—garments should live in rotation, not storage.

How Tovatee Builds

Every shelf begins at the lumber rack. Boards are checked for moisture, grain flow, and strength. Faces are jointed and planed; parts are dimensioned with precision machines; then the work shifts to the bench—edge profiles, tight joinery, and grain matching so broad panels read as continuous.

Components are sanded through progressive grits, then finished in thin, patient coats. After curing, Tovatee assembles, fine-tunes, and load-tests so capacity guidance is measured, not guessed. Before any box is sealed, Tovatee runs a final checklist: surface pass, joint pass, hardware test-fit, and a clean wipe-down—so the first thing noticed is the wood, not a flaw.

Packaging & Shipping

Packing is part of the craft. Panels and corners get foam and edge guards. Hardware packs are sealed, labeled, and mapped to a simple step-by-step guide. Heavy-duty cartons are reinforced for distance; oversized pieces can be crated or secured to a pallet.

Depending on location, Tovatee uses major carriers and provides tracking from pickup to doorstep. A short receiving guide is included: inspect the carton, photograph anything that looks off, and contact Tovatee so it can be set right. Unboxing aims to be calm and clear—parts labeled, steps logical—so the shelf can be installed the same day.

For apparel, parcels travel in protective mailers or boxes with end-to-end tracking. Mixed carts may arrive in separate boxes from different staging points at no extra charge. Full details live in the Shipping Policy.

Care & Support

Daily care is simple:

• Dust with a dry or lightly damp cloth.

• Avoid direct heat and long-term damp.

• Use floor pads for stability and floor protection.

• For wall units, anchor into studs when possible and follow the included guide; Tovatee can advise on anchors for specific wall types.

If a finish looks tired, a quick touch-up oil restores the glow; Tovatee can supply a matching care kit. Apparel care appears on each label; most pieces suit cool washes and low heat or hang dry. Messages receive a response within 24 business hours, and Tovatee’s warranty stays straightforward: if an issue starts with Tovatee—or occurs in transit—Tovatee will repair, replace, or refund. Eligibility and timelines appear in the Warranty and Refund & Returns Policy.

The Tovatee Promise

Volume isn’t the goal; fit is. The aim is a shelf that suits a room and routine so well it feels meant to be there—and apparel that feels as considered as the furniture it lives beside. If helpful, Tovatee can share finish samples for wood, fabric swatches for apparel, and a quick 2D/3D shelf sketch before build.

When a piece settles at home, it should hold more than books—habits, photos, a sense of order. When a garment joins the closet, it should earn its place, get worn often, and feel right. That is the kind of functional art Tovatee exists to make.
