Welcome to the website of F.R. Way

A family business started in Bideford in 1908, the company originally produced its own high quality handmade furniture. Although no longer manufacturing, the business continues to maintain the high quality of stock for which the shop has become well known over the years. We moved to our present address in 1928.

F.R.
