Marton Lee

About

Marton Lee was established in the early 1980′s and has since acquired a reputation for making quality, customized cabinetry for all rooms in the home.

The company’s manufacturing operation and showroom are based in Glenfield on the North Shore. Clients are welcome to view their cabinetry as it goes through the various stages of manufacture. They can also talk directly with the qualified cabinet makers who build all Marton Lee’s cabinetry and see the finishing shop where all the company’s pieces are painted and polished.

Philosophy

Marton Lee is passionate about all aspects of furniture and cabinetry making: from the initial design right through to the finishing details; including the installation.

Priority is given to understanding the clients’ needs. First and foremost this means listening carefully, which, coupled with our broad knowledge and technical skills, ensures successful outcomes.

The company has a record of delighting its clients which is why so many of them come back again and again.

From our Workshop

Marton Lee prides itself on the quality of its cabinetry. The company believes that its clients deserve to buy 'cabinetry that will last a lifetime’.

The quality is founded upon: first rate materials, genuine craftsmanship and complete control of the process. Marton Lee employs qualified and experienced cabinetmakers and takes care of the whole process of making and finishing in-house.

Marton Lee was one of the first cabinet makers in New Zealand to be deemed eligible for FITEC’s (Forest Industry Training Council) Furniture Master Seal – Cabinet Maker.

The furniture Master Seal provides assurance to the public that the furniture and cabinetry purchased from a Master Seal Holder is NZ made and that it is made by tradesmen with relevant, formal industry qualifications.

Master Seal is all about quality through training – companies that have well trained staff produce well made, good quality furniture and cabinetry. This is at the heart of Marton Lee’s commitment to quality and is tangible evidence of this.

Showroom

Marton Lee understand that a vital part in the process of choosing a kitchen manufacturer and the style and design of kitchen (and other cabinetry) is being able to view some actual examples - the 'touch and feel' approach.

Consequently the company has made a major commitment to showcasing its capabilities in terms of kitchen design and manufacture. Our extensive showroom features a complete 'traditional style' kitchen and two other partial kitchens built representing more modern/contemporary styles.

In addition a large range of cabinet materials, door and drawer front styles (flat and rebated), finishes (lacquer - matte, satin and gloss), hardware (drawers, bins etc), bench-top materials and handles are displayed which allow our clients to compare and contrast the various options available.

The showroom is available by appointment only from 9:00am to 5:00pm - Monday to Friday

Testimonials

I am a builder working on mid to high end residential housing. I have been involved with Marton Lee on a number of projects over the last seven years. I find them very good to deal with. Their attention to detail in both design and construction is first rate.
They have always strived to meet the deadlines and take pride in the final outcome. I would have no hesitation recommending them and look forward to working with them in the future.

We used Marton Lee when building our home in Campbell's Bay for all the joinery and kitchen design. We were so very impressed with their services and quality of work on that house, we re-employed them to design and fit a kitchen in our new home in Takapuna.
They were great to work with and seemed to design our kitchen perfectly to our ideas. Professional, understanding of what we wanted, and came up with an outstanding kitchen for us. We have now asked for a cabinetry design in another room in our home as we find their workmanship excellent. We would fully recommend Marton Lee and would certainly use them again on other projects.

Karen Chambers

Marton Lee were recommended to me by my builder. They designed, built and installed a completely new kitchen which looks fabulous. Professional, obliging, and able to solve problems along the way with no fuss, I would certainly use them again.

Trevor McLeish

We are a small construction company that specializes in renovations. It is very important to us that the people we work with are prompt and supply an excellent product. Marton Lee are such a company. They show up on time and their kitchens are exemplary. We have worked together on several projects over the last couple of years and now I have them supplying the kitchen for my own renovation.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them for all kitchen jobs.

A very big thank you from us as a family on the beautiful kitchen you helped design and build for our recent renovation.
From the first visit through to the finished product, you have been nothing but helpful and considerate towards the aesthetic look we were focused on achieving. More importantly your patience with our renovations that took exceedingly longer than anticipated was hugely appreciated.
The quality of the work is outstanding and we could not more highly recommend the Marton Lee team to anyone who is looking at building a new kitchen or having a bespoke piece of furniture made for them.

Scott & Lisa Kean

We have recently arrived from Hawaii and cannot begin to express how happy we are with the Cabinet design and work that your firm has done. We are just blown away.
Kind regards, and again - thanks for an amazing job!

Harry & Carla Hart

For over 15 years Skinner Design have used Marton Lee to manufacture many varied custom designed joinery items, including kitchens, wardrobes, and furniture for residential and commercial projects.
The quality of their work is excellent with attention paid to detail. They are very professional and indeed 'go the extra mile' to ensure a great end result is achieved for our company.
All our clients have been delighted with their completed projects and would recommend them for any future work.

I have been involved in building new high end homes and a number of renovations. On every occasion my recommendation to my clients has been Marton Lee Kitchens. When it comes to building, being able to work with the designers, the cabinet maker and the installer means that as a team we get the satisfaction and guarantee of perfection. The quality of the materials and the finishes is of the highest quality available. This means that the master piece is built to last.
It seems to me the whole company takes pride in what they do and nothing is ever a problem. With building you are always going to face challenges along the way. However these challenges are always minimized due to the very professional team. My faith in Marton Lee is such that I do not look past them. The projects always end with the clients extremely impressed with the end product.
I personally recommend Marton Lee not only as a builder but also as a client for my own projects.

The association between MWA and the Marton Lee team has been a long and creative journey with many milestones achieved. Any design and construction challenges encountered have been collaboratively explored from all angles, turned inside out and duly resolved. It is this sense of authentic partnering, and Marton Lee's attention to detail and getting it right, that keeps MWA coming back. As we know that the next Marton Lee cabinetry outcome will not only be better than the last, but we will be closer to undertaking that elusive killer project that will require our respective skills to be the best they can be.

We are incredibly pleased with both the quality of the build and the install of the joinery units.. The units seem to complete the room as we had planned in our minds’ eye and I would like to thank you for your team’s professionalism in completing this work for us.

Trevor Murray

I had to write and express my thanks on a great piece of work by you and your team….. My wife who was at home when your men came to do the installation was particularly impressed with their professional attitude and the competent way they went about it. They even vacuumed up after!
At a time when so many manufacturers are rushing off to China it is a pleasure to deal with a dinkum Kiwi Company.

Forrest McPheat

I just wanted to thank-you for the beautiful cabinetry you guys have made.
We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. It looks even better than we hoped. The under-stairs cupboards which just fit like a glove and the study particularly, look amazing so thank-you all so much. And I now have the laundry I always wanted.
Also, thanks for accommodating our difficult install schedule…much appreciated. You guys were actually the only ones in our renovation who were ready to install when you said you would!

Samantha Nel

I have now worked on several projects with both Simon and Glen at martonlee. They have always provided a superb product, professional advice and delivered on time and even early.
Whenever I have presented them with a concept there has been extensive and well deserved questions as to my final expectation on the internal workings as well as the external finish. Attention is paid to every detail whether it be the unit itself or the accuracy needed for installation.
I must add that I have never been disappointed in the end result, their work has been faultless, and my clients have always been thrilled with the final product.
They have beautifully custom produced everything from entertainment units to dining tables to bathroom cabinets for me and are more than capable of a whole kitchen fit out.
I have no hesitation in recommending martonlee for your next interior project! Visit them at Cherry Lane Glenfield!

Marton Lee have provided pure perfection for our kitchen and bathrooms. A fantastic team of incredibly skilled people who truly care about what they do - we couldn't have hoped for a better partner to make our dreams on paper a reality!

Michelle Sanders

Simon and the team from Marton Lee were fantastic! Our kitchen, scullery and laundry are all amazing and we couldn't be happier with them. The team worked with us to make sure that all of our ideas could become reality! Would highly recommend this team.

Louise Cleary

We have no hesitation in recommending Marton Lee Kitchens for not only their kitchens, but for projects throughout the home. They have produced cabinetry for an array of components for our property - a kitchen and answering scullery, a laundry, window seating, several bathrooms and two shelving units in our recent house build on the North Shore.

They are thoroughly expert in every respect and have proven themselves to be one of the best suppliers in our build. Every member of the team is thoughtful and responsive. They care about their designs and have an attention to detail that is unmatched in our experience. Their work has considerable flair and has been much admired since install. We found them very well priced and keen to be competitive, but the end result is unrivalled in our view.
