At PlyLab, we design and build furniture-grade plywood projects that last — crafted for Aotearoa with timeless simplicity and real durability.
Our in-house team works closely with homeowners and architects to shape spaces that feel thoughtful and warm — the kind of design that makes a house feel like home.
We run Wellington’s cleanest workshop (we’ve checked). Powered by lean manufacturing, CNC precision, and a team that doesn’t cut corners, we build properly — with less fuss and more care.

What people are saying
Abe, Rose and the whole PlyLab crew were fantastic to deal with from the outset. They did a full kitchen for me and it looks great. Not a bit of mdf in sight! The finish of the ply is next level. LAnd they were great at dealing with all the little hiccups along the way, always prepared to address issues when they arose. I cannot recommend them all highly enough.

“From my personal experiences, I don’t think any other joiners in Wellington can be as efficient as the PlyLab team. PlyLab did such an excellent job for our custom-made shelves project. They are amazing! I highly recommend the PlyLab team and will definitely in touch when I have next project coming up. Thank you!”
— Terri
“Nothing but praise for the Plylab team. Right from the design through to the installation and tweaking they have been awesome. Quality product, excellent craftsmanship, and customer service has been great throughout our kitchen build. The results are amazing!”
