Reet Good Wood is a not-for-profit community interest company based in Greater Manchester. We work with late diagnosed Neurodivergent Adults, those awaiting a diagnosis or those who self-identify as being Neurodivergent.
We use the art of furniture painting and other creative practices to help people develop their confidence, express themselves, make authentic connections, and reduce social isolation.​
​​
We bring life back to old furniture by combining sustainable practices with stunning design, helping you craft a truly personalised space.
​​​
Each piece of our furniture is thoughtfully restored and custom-designed using high-quality materials, to ensure durability and charm. Whether you’re looking for a bold statement piece or something to seamlessly complement your interiors, our collection of reclaimed and pre-loved furniture offers something for everyone.
​
At Reet Good Wood, we’re passionate about combining sustainability with unique aesthetics. By restoring and refinishing pre-loved furniture, we reduce waste and offer eco-friendly options for those who value both style and the environment.
Our upcycled furniture appeals to anyone who appreciates exceptional design and the timeless beauty of vintage and reclaimed pieces.

Our Story
.png)
Ruth is a talented Furniture Artist from Greater Manchester, and is the Founder of Reet Good Wood CIC.
In 2019, Ruth discovered she was Neurodivergent, and prior to this had spent her life trying to fit in to a world that wasn't made for Neurodivergent people. Ruth struggled to maintain long term 'formal' employment and found social situations exhausting, and felt like she had spent her whole life pretending to be ok to fit in with people around her. As you can imagine, this takes its toll over time, with some people not understanding Neurodivergence or the impact of a late diagnosis.
​
It wasn't until 2023 that Ruth decided to stop 'masking' and started to learn to be her authentic self. She put her energies in to something she was comfortable doing, in an environment she can control, at a pace that suits her.​ Ruth has a keen eye for detail and her work is flawless. She absolutely loves refinishing furniture, making hand crafted wooden gifts, and is conscious about doing her bit for the environment. So, putting all this together, Ruth was supported to start Reet Good Wood, and subsequently, Reet Good Wood CIC.​
​
Support for late diagnosed Neurodivergent adults is lacking, and Ruth wanted to share the mindful practice of furniture refinishing with her peers; to help others learn to be more authentic and accepting of their diagnoses, and to reduce social isolation.
​
As well being our Resident Artist at Reet Good Wood, Ruth also accepts private furniture commissions, and can be contacted via Instagram @Rtfurniturepainter
​
It's been quite a journey for Ruth and Reet Good Wood, but this is only the beginning.
