FAQ – The Rebel Niche

What is La Niche Rebelle?

La Niche Rebelle offers designer furniture that also serves as dog kennels. Designed to blend seamlessly into your home, our furniture combines aesthetics, functionality, and pet well-being. Each piece is designed to provide a cozy resting space for your companion while saving you space.

Where are the furniture niches manufactured?

Our furniture is made in France, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, using high-quality materials also made in France, carefully selected for their durability and aesthetic appeal. We prioritize local craftsmanship and responsible, small-batch production.

What size dog can fit in the kennels?

Our doghouses are designed for small to medium-sized dogs , up to approximately 13 kg for the bench doghouse and up to 25 kg for the corner doghouse. For larger dogs, a custom design is available; please contact us!

Can the piece of furniture be used in a way other than as a niche?

Yes, that's the whole idea behind La Niche Rebelle : our furniture has a dual function . For example, our entryway bench-niche also serves as a seat or storage unit. Once the dog's accessories are put away or the cushion removed, it becomes a fully functional piece of furniture, without compromising on style.

Can I customize the furniture?

Several customization options are available (color of the reconstituted wood panels, fabric color of the cushion, finishes). Contact us to discuss your custom project.

Where to buy a rebellious niche?

Sales are currently conducted through our official website . You can place your order directly online or contact us for a custom project. We deliver to France , Switzerland , and certain EU countries upon request.

What are the manufacturing and delivery times?

During the ordering process, you'll be able to see if the furniture is available immediately or if there's a slight delay. To ensure quality, we manufacture in small batches. Please allow 4 to 8 weeks for delivery, depending on the model and customization options chosen. Delivery is handled by a specialized carrier to your home.

Why is the price of furniture niches higher than that of a classic niche?

Our niches are not just niches ; they are true designer furniture : solid, aesthetically pleasing, and built to last. Each piece is made in France , in small batches, using quality materials (solid wood, high-end finishes, custom-made cushions).

You're investing in a durable item that's both useful for you and comfortable for your dog, and that blends seamlessly into your home. It's a dual-purpose piece of furniture that enhances your living space while meeting the needs of your four-legged friend.

By choosing La Niche Rebelle, you also support responsible, local manufacturing and carefully considered design – a far cry from low-cost, standardized production from far away.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payments by credit card , bank transfer and via PayPal (payment in 4 installments possible) .

Is the delivery complicated? Should we arrange for help to receive the furniture?

Our storage niches are delivered assembled, protected, and ready to use. They are high-quality, sturdy pieces: the package is therefore heavy and bulky. Check the width of your doors!
We recommend that two people be present to receive the furniture safely. Our transport partners will bring the furniture up to your home if you live on an upper floor; an unpacking service including removal of boxes is also available.

Why “The Rebel Niche”?

Because we want to reinvent the classic, often unsightly doghouse and replace those unattractive, unstructured baskets. With La Niche Rebelle (The Rebel Doghouse), we're breaking the mold: we're integrating the dog's place into the home with elegance and intelligence. It's also a nod to dogs with strong personalities… and their demanding humans! And finally, Rebelle is the Boston Terrier of founder Alexandra!
