A joinery house in Suffolk that makes kitchens.
Square & True is the kitchen work of Reeve & Co Interiors, a family joinery house founded in Suffolk in 2015.
Who makes this
Square & True is a trading name of Reeve & Co Interiors Ltd, a joinery house founded in 2015 by Torben Reeve and based at Mickfield in Suffolk, England. There are nine of us and we all work in the same building.
Reeve & Co makes architectural joinery for high-end residential work: paneling, libraries, staircases, doors and windows, fitted furniture and whole-house fit-outs, for private clients, architects and general contractors across London, the Home Counties and East Anglia, and increasingly abroad.
Square & True exists because kitchens deserved their own front door. A kitchen buyer is not looking for a joinery firm that also does kitchens; they are looking for kitchen makers. The workshop, the people and the standards are identical — it is the same benches and the same hands.
Why we work in America
Because the work travels well and the demand is real. An English in-frame kitchen is a piece of furniture, not a set of boxes bought in and assembled, and there are not many workshops on either side of the Atlantic still making them that way at this size.
We draw to American dimensions from the start, around American appliances, and we crate the kitchen into its own sealed container rather than putting it into shared freight. Our own people fly out and fit it. That is the whole arrangement, and it is on the site rather than kept back for a phone call.
The rest of the house
A kitchen is rarely the only thing a house needs, and it is unusual for us to make only the kitchen. The same workshop makes the mudroom, the library, the paneling in the hall and the closets upstairs, and it is cheaper and better to draw all of it at once.
The standard we are trying to hold
Quality before speed. We would rather take longer and get it right, and we would rather tell you something is a bad idea than take the money and make it.
That extends to what appears on this website. Our clients’ kitchens are private, so some of the images here are visualizations produced from our own workshop drawings, for commissions we have made. The drawings, the timber samples and the references behind them are real, and we would rather show you all three at Mickfield than ask you to take a photograph on trust.

Four names, one workshop
Square & True is a trading name of Reeve & Co Interiors Ltd, alongside Bryn Hall and Sporting Cabinetmakers. Old Fashioned Bathrooms is the bathroom company in the same yard at Mickfield, in Suffolk, England. We keep them separate because someone looking for a kitchen, a dining table or a gun cabinet is better served by a specialist than by a category page — but the drawings, the bench and the spray shop are the same, so finishes match across whatever you order.
