Odum Furniture · formerly God First Furniture Works
Built to outlive
the people who made it.
Since 1996 our family workshop on Spintex Road has built furniture the slow way: solid odum, teak and mahogany, kiln-dried for Ghana's climate, joined by hand and priced honestly in cedis. No veneer, no imports, no games.

What thirty years teaches a workshop
Wood first
Solid odum, teak and mahogany — kiln-dried in our own yard and rested for Ghana's humidity before a single cut. Termites and harmattan are design constraints here, not surprises.
Hands, not lines
Every piece is joined, caned and finished by craftsmen trained through our four-year apprenticeship — some of whom have been at these benches since the God First years.
Honest prices
Our prices are published in cedis on every piece. What you see is what you plan with — from the showroom on Spintex Road to ordering from abroad.
04 — Simple by design
How to order an Odum piece
Choose a piece
Pick from the catalogue — every piece shows its price in cedis, its timber and its dimensions. No quotation mystery.
Make it yours
Custom sizes, woods and finishes are our specialty. Agree the details with us on WhatsApp — from Accra or from abroad.
Showroom or doorstep
Visit the Spintex Road showroom to see the work up close, or let us deliver and install anywhere in Ghana.
The workshop
One bench became thirty years.
A roadside shed called God First Furniture Works, two apprentices and a borrowed planer — that was 1996. Today the same family builds every piece in the same place, and the founder still inspects each one before it leaves.

Trusted in Ghanaian homes for thirty years
“My parents bought their dining table from Daniel in 2003. Twenty-three years later I ordered mine from the same workshop. It arrived even better than theirs.”Abena Osei — East Legon
“We furnished our whole living room from the Spintex showroom. Solid wood, honest prices on the wall, no games. You can feel the thirty years in the joinery.”Kwame & Adjoa Owusu — Tema
“We furnished our Accra home from abroad entirely over WhatsApp — photos at every stage, delivered and assembled before we landed. Flawless.”James & Harriet Ansong — Washington, DC
“The Mole bed is the single best-made piece of furniture I own. The cane work alone is worth the trip to Spintex.”Dr. Esi Quartey — Kumasi
“They quoted a price, a date and a wood. All three were exactly as promised. That is rarer than it should be.”Selorm Agbeko — Ho
“I watched my centre table being built on a workshop visit. The apprentices sand corners nobody will ever see. That told me everything.”Maame Serwaa — Spintex
“Our restaurant tables take a beating every single day and haven't moved a millimetre in two years. Built like church pews — which, I'm told, is where they started.”Nii Armah — Cantonments
“Ordered a full bedroom set for our place in Oyarifa from London. The 'from' prices online meant no haggling anxiety — what we saw is what we paid.”Efe & Kobby Dadzie — London
