Why Urbis Concepts?
In a world of “click-and-ship” disposable furniture, Urbis Concepts stands for permanence.
We founded Urbis because we were tired of seeing beautiful trees turned into cheap wood chips, and we were tired of seeing families replace their dining table every 5 years.
1. The “Kiln-Dried” Difference
Most imported live edge tables fail in Canada. Why? Winter. When a table enters a dry Canadian home in February, it shrinks. If it wasn’t dried properly, it cracks.
- The Industry Standard: Air Drying (leaving logs outside). This leaves 20%+ moisture.
- The Urbis Standard: Rigorous Kiln Drying to 8-10% moisture. We invest in the time and energy to dry our wood correctly so it remains stable in your home for decades.
2. Ethical Sourcing (No Mystery Wood)
We work directly with regulated mills in Mexico and Central America to source Parota (Guanacaste) and Acacia.
- We don’t cut down endangered rainforest.
- We often use salvaged logs or trees felled for city planning.
- Every slab has a story, and we respect that story by preserving the natural edge.
3. We Are Real People (In Etobicoke)
We aren’t a drop-shipping algorithm. We are woodworkers and designers. When you buy from Urbis, you are invited to our showroom to select your exact slab. You see the grain, you touch the edge, and you meet the team who will finish it.
4. One Table, Lifetime Value
A veneer table is garbage the moment it gets scratched. A solid wood table is renewable.
- Scratch it? Sand it out.
- Change your style? Stain it darker.
- Moving? It’s solid enough to survive the truck.
