So my name is Chris Stone, also known as Fivetone Cabinetry. I am a passionate cabinet maker based in Stroud, Gloucestershire. In the midst of the Covid pandemic back in 2020, I unfortunately lost my job at a prestigious bespoke kitchen and furniture company in Bristol due to the unavoidable lockdowns. However, instead of succumbing to the challenges, I decided to channel my skills and creativity into something constructive.

I transformed my humble garage into a workshop and began crafting beautiful fitted furniture. Initially, I didn't anticipate it becoming a full-fledged business; it was more of a way to cope with the uncertainties of the lockdown. But as word got out and demand grew, I found myself transitioning into larger spaces to accommodate the production of sizable furniture pieces.

This unexpected journey made me realize my newfound passion for design. I relished the opportunity to be in control of both the creative process and the manufacturing aspect. What really fueled my enthusiasm was the ability to take full responsibility for delivering products of the highest quality to my customers.

Drawing from my background in the film and TV industry as well as my musical endeavors, my naturally artistic and creative instincts have played a pivotal role in my design approach. To bring my visions to life and allow clients to visualize the final product, I taught myself how to use SketchUp—empowering me to provide accurate representations of what their bespoke furniture will ultimately become.

At Fivetone Cabinetry, craftsmanship and artistry intertwine, as I wholeheartedly pour my dedication and expertise into each piece I create.
