Low, light, and impossible to find properly made on this side of the world. A peerhi is the stool you sat on to eat, to roll roti, to get your hair oiled as a child.
Ours are solid hardwood throughout, joined rather than screwed, and finished smooth enough to go barefoot around. Choose a solid timber seat or a hand-woven nawar top in the traditional way — the woven version has give in it and is the one people remember.
They stack reasonably, they take a beating, and they are the right height for a takhat. Most people who order one come back for a pair.
The bench version is the same build at double the width — useful at the end of a bed, in an entryway, or pulled up to a low table.
What every piece comes with
- Solid hardwood throughout — no particle board, no veneer, no photo-printed grain.
- Traditional joinery at the stress points, not screws through end grain.
- Built to your measurements, so it fits the room you actually have.
- Progress photos while it is on the bench.
- Delivered, carried in and assembled across the Lower Mainland. Packaging leaves with us.
- Workmanship guaranteed. If a joint ever moves, we put it right.
About the wood.
The traditional timber is sheesham, which is a protected species under CITES and cannot be
imported reliably or legally without permits on every shipment. We work in solid Canadian
hardwood instead — and the traditional dark stain on red oak gets you within a shade of
what you are remembering, in a piece that is actually built for this climate.
