Petr Šilhanek decided at the age of 45 to build the best joinery in Prague. Which will deliver custom-made furniture thoughtfully, thoroughly and on time.
The owner of the Joiner worked as a director of Caterpillar CR (“CAT”) for 14 years. When he began building his own house at 45, he was indignant at the quality of the craftsmen. So he decided to build a joinery of exceptional quality on his own.
We will create your custom-made furniture at the best sawmills in the world: Altendorf. There are only six of them in the Czech Republic, three of which are in Škoda Auto.
We are chosen by people and companies (e.g. Prague - Ruzyně Airport) who want thoughtful furniture according to German standards.
We adhere to German standards in all areas of production. Moreover, the Czech “standard” is the use of cheap to free software, printing designs for production, manual data entry or manual cutting.
With us, everything is solved by the best software and German robots. Thanks to this, our tailor-made furniture is well thought out, the result fits perfectly with the design and the output is accurate to 0.1 mm.

The price of furniture depends on the materials used and the laboriousness of the required construction. We will advise you on what to invest in and which details are beyond your budget.
The minimum value of the contract is 20 000 CZK excluding VAT.
If it is a larger order, we first invoice 5 to 10% of the value of the order. After payment, we will include your order in the production plan and prepare the furniture design for reconciliation. Before our own production, we invoice 50 to 60 percent of the order and with this money we buy materials and start manufacturing. After the furniture is mounted, we bill the rest.
Depends on the scope and complexity of the order and deliveries from external suppliers such as kitchen appliance manufacturers, painters. In any case, the time, how long the furniture will be ready, we indicate in the menu. Customers are queued using FIFO according to the date they pay the first advance invoice and thus accept our offer.
If you have a furniture design drawn by a designer or architect, please send it to us. We will then give you feedback on the furniture and our recommendations. If you do not have documentation from the architect, we can discuss your requirements together and create the design ourselves. We will then create an offer for you.
We use only materials with certificates for use in the EU. For the surface treatment of wooden elements, we usually use hard wax oil from the German company OSMO.
We distinguish between leave for preparation of production and leave for production itself. We update both of these dates weekly on the main page of this site. Before production, we have to agree on the details of the solution and sometimes it takes time that we have to reckon with.
