About River Rustics

Crafting Quality Outdoor Furniture with a Personal Touch

At River Rustics, we pride ourselves on being a small, family-owned business with a passion for quality craftsmanship.

Continuing a Legacy of Craftsmanship

River Rustics was founded in Northland in 2009 by my Dad, Glenn Henderson. When he suddenly passed away in 2020, I decided to carry on his passion for building rustic furniture. Although my background is primarily in dairy farming, I spent countless hours working alongside Dad, learning the intricacies of craftsmanship.

While maintaining the authenticity and quality of River Rustics, I’ve infused my own creative ideas and enjoy the challenges of custom work. Our family business recently relocated to Hope, Tasman, where we continue to operate with the same dedication to quality.

When I'm not building or embarking on adventures with my family, you can often find me out hunting. My goal is to create durable, beautiful pieces that our customers will cherish for years to come. Your positive feedback keeps us motivated and committed to excellence!

Great workmanship Levi! My conservatory, living room and study are now complete with park bench, seat, and tables - TV, computer (and stand) and occasional side table. All made to meet my specifications and beautifully crafted to withstand the hussle and bussle of life. Many thanks for your time and expertise Levi. Happy customer 😁

Great workman ship Levi. This is my second time purchasing from you. Not only am I amazed on the quality and durability, the personal touches you add to each product, but the fabulous communication you have towards each customer’s as well. I contacted Levi and ordered a plaque for my horse on Sunday and come Wednesday it had already been delivered to waimate. I am very pleased with how it turned out and it couldn’t have turned out better. I highly recommend river rustics!! Thank you for your outstanding work. Thank you - Evelyn guyton 🙂
