The Story Behind the Craft
Robert Bratley has been a cabinet maker for over 20 years, but the journey didn’t start in a workshop. After finishing university, Rob realised that what truly fulfilled him wasn’t sitting behind a desk — it was working with his hands, shaping raw materials into something lasting and meaningful. Drawn to the quiet satisfaction of craftsmanship, he returned to the tools and never looked back.
What began as a personal calling soon became a business rooted in integrity, high standards, and a belief in quality over quantity. Rob takes pride in the details that others might overlook — the perfect joint, the smooth close of a door, the feeling of something built to last a lifetime.
Today, every project still begins and ends in the Harrogate workshop, where Rob and the team design and build cabinetry that reflects the people who live with it. The process is thoughtful, collaborative and deeply personal — with a commitment to craftsmanship that runs through everything they do.
Because at its heart, this is about more than making furniture. It’s about trust, relationships, and a genuine love of doing things properly.
Let’s Create Something Exceptional
From Rob’s early days in the workshop to the trusted studio we are today, the heart of our business has always been the same — making beautifully crafted cabinetry for real homes and real people.
At Robert Bratley, we design and build bespoke kitchens, fitted furniture and interiors that feel considered, personal and built to last. Based in Harrogate and proudly family-run, we’ve spent over two decades honing our craft and building lasting relationships with clients who value quality.
Built on Craft. Rooted in Yorkshire.
Crafted with Care. Built for Life.
Every piece is made by hand in our Yorkshire workshop, where care and attention are given to every detail — from the first cut to the final fit. Whether we’re working with homeowners, interior designers, architects or developers, we bring a collaborative, can-do approach to each project.
There are no shortcuts here. Just honest materials, skilled workmanship, and cabinetry designed to suit your space and your life.
From Harrogate to London and beyond, our work lives in homes that value thoughtful design, lasting quality, and the difference that craftsmanship makes. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
