How much does it cost to have a piece of custom furniture made?

Depends. Most of the time involved in building custom is spent in the design process. Interpreting what the Client is asking for, coming up with an idea that addresses those needs, engineering the idea, drawing it up for presentation, making changes, re-presenting, etc., can very easily exceed the time it takes to build something. The more clearly you can present your ideas to me, the less time it takes. If you can provide some kind of sketch, or a picture of something that is similar to what you have in mind, the less time (expense) is involved.

Do you deliver and install the pieces you make?

We can deliver and install anything by request.

If I want something built, what is the process?

When you contact us, be as specific as you can about what it is you want. We will probably have some additional questions, including budget. If you know exactly what you want and have sent us a drawing or picture, or if you want some variation of something you've seen on our Website, we will quote a price. If you want us to design something and/or generate drawings, we charge a retainer, in advance, for this service. The fee is based on my best guess on the time involved. The drawings are yours and can be used to get other bids if you desire. If you have us build the project, the design fee will be credited against the purchase price.

Isn't custom made furniture really expensive?

Custom made furniture is not mass produced by the thousands but rather is made specifically for you and is often a one of a kind piece. Quality kiln dried wood is taken from the log stage and turned into anything you may desire. Craftsmanship and good joinery ensures a good functional piece that will outlast anything that is mass produced and will more than likely last several generations and become a family heirloom. With quality comes a price, but the benefits of having a beautiful custom made piece that will last a lifetime far outweighs the little bit extra you may have to pay for it.
