Rosenfeld Kidson stock more than 30 species of specialist timbers suitable for furniture manufacture, cabinetmaking and interior joinery. Whatever your project, we can offer the right species from our wide selection.

Most of the joinery, furniture and cabinet making timber species we stock are available in 25, 40, 50 and 75mm thicknesses.  Timbers such as American White Oak and Radiata are also available in a range of grades at lower prices, making them suitable for defecting for furniture manufacture.

American hardwoods such as Oak, Ash, Maple, Cherry and Walnut are generally only available in mixed width specifications; as are the African hardwoods such as Sapele, Iroko, Anegre, Bubinga and European beech.

Our Australian hardwoods such as Jarrah (PEFC), Tasmanian Oak and Victorian Ash (PEFC) are all available in fixed widths.  This also applies to our native timbers Rimu, Matai, Tawa; the Fijian timbers, Kauri and Salusalu; and most other furniture and joinery timbers such as Kwila (VLO), Massa, Malaysian Kauri (PEFC), Taun and Teak.

Rosenfeld Kidson, as timber merchants acknowledge the importance of conserving the world’s greatest renewable resource.

We are pleased to advise that we carry Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certification that enables us to sell timber that carries either FSC certification (SGS-COC-006703) or PEFC certification (SGS-PEFC/COC-0993).

FSC-certified timber and PEFC-certified timber undergo independent, third-party audited certification procedures at every step of the supply chain. This provides designers, specifiers, architects and consumers absolute assurance that those forest and wood products labelled as FSC certified or PEFC certified to originate from legal sources, which are managed to prescribed social, economic and environmental standards.

As a New Zealand timber supplier offering the country’s largest range and quantity of specialist certified timbers we believe that stocking FSC & PEFC certified timber is essential for our continued growth. A major part of our timber range has FSC or PEFC certification and we are continually striving to increase this.

About the
Seller

Rosenfeld Kidson & Co. Ltd is a specialist timber company stocking New Zealand’s largest range of over 50 species of specialist timbers, both imported and locally grown.  These timbers are distributed to joiners, furniture manufacturers, cabinetmakers, boat builders, flooring contractors and the construction industry throughout the country, primarily via selected timber merchant resellers.

The company was incorporated in 1930 when John Kidson and Australian Julius Rosenfeld formed a partnership to import hardwood from Australia.  New South Wales hardwoods were in demand during the depression years for wharf and bridge construction, as well as power reticulation.

For the next 65 years the company operated from The Strand in Parnell, Auckland, before moving in 1996 to new purpose built premises in Mt Wellington - an 11,000m2 site with 2000m2 drive-through warehouse and another 1000m2 of covered storage. The business also operates a second 2500m2 site in Auckland where its state of the art timber processing facility is located. It also has a second sales and warehouse facility in Hornby, Christchurch, which manages distribution to our South Island customers.

As Rosenfeld Kidson approaches 90 years in business, the company is in its fourth generation of ownership and operation.  The success and longevity of the company has largely hinged on the efforts and experience of dedicated and loyal staff, who are able to provide our customers with a wealth of knowledge about the specialist timbers we sell.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
