About the company

Fragments has traded in Hobart for more than 40 years and operates a physical store in the city alongside an online store. The business specialises in restoration products, including door, window and cabinet hardware; lighting; traditional electrical switches; fireclay sinks; bathroom fittings and tapware; plaster ceiling roses; vents and corbels; pressed metal panels; and Porter's Paints.

It sells handcrafted furniture created by Chris Blandford in his design studio in the hills of southern Tasmania, available exclusively through Fragments. The business also sells individual pieces of furniture made from new, recycled and salvaged timber.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Fragments draws repeated praise for the depth and character of its range, which reviewers describe as beautiful, unusual and hard to match elsewhere. Several customers note that staff, including Georgie, are consistently helpful and knowledgeable about the stock, guiding people towards pieces and materials that suit restoration projects. The shop is repeatedly linked to traditional and period work, with mentions of federation, arts and crafts and mid century modern homes, and customers report finding hardware and accessories for old furniture that they had expected to be difficult to source.

Antique accessories and handmade Tasmanian furniture feature in accounts of what people bought, with one piece noted as made by someone who works in the store. Reviewers often comment on the displays and the experience of browsing, describing the shop as a place of discovery. Quality is a recurring theme, with items described as better made than what local hardware stores carry. Service is remembered as attentive even when the computer system caused a delay, with staff apologising and still sorting out what was needed, and chalk paint is among the purchases customers left with.

I visited Fragments today and while it was clear there was an issue with their computer system (which they were actively trying to resolve on the phone), the two staff members were still incredibly helpful and attentive. Between them, they sorted exactly what I needed and were genuinely apologetic about the delay. Despite the hiccup, the service didn’t miss a beat. I left with exactly what I was after and couldn’t be happier with my chalk paint colour — it’s a perfect match for my project. Great customer service and a lovely experience over all.

A tap order from mid November 2024 arrived today 26 March 2025. This was promised January 2024 at the latest. Fragments ordered my Bastow tap from Tribata. This has been holding up our kitchen for one month. If it wasn’t for myself being persistent with Tribata I’m sure my tap would still be somewhere else. I should not have had to contact Tribata direct with phone call after phone call. Email after email. Only to be told by Fragments they understand my frustration. (What a throw away line). No I’m not happy with Fragments service on this matter or my dealings with Tribata.

Served promptly and courteously. They were out of stock of the item I was after, but gladly ordered one in for me, and called when it arrived.

Blows my mind every time. Makes you wish you were born in a different era.

Georgie and her team are always super helpful and knowledgeable with their product range. Whether you're restoring an old federation, arts and crafts or mid century modern residence, the team at Fragments will always do what they can to assist in helping you source what you're looking for. Items are not cheap, but of a much higher quality than the local hardware stores. Always perfect service.
