Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries about commissioning bespoke furniture.

How long does it take to build custom furniture?

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the piece, material availability, and the artisan's current schedule. Generally, a bespoke dining table or custom sofa can take anywhere from 8 to 14 weeks from final design approval to delivery.

Can I choose my own upholstery fabrics?

Yes. When commissioning a custom sofa or upholstered chair, you have full control over the fabric selection. We offer a curated range of high-performance and luxury textiles, or you can provide your own material (COM - Customer's Own Material) for the craftsmen to use.

What types of wood do you recommend for dining tables?

For a durable and beautiful custom dining table, hardwoods such as Walnut, White Oak, Cherry, and Maple are highly recommended. Each species offers distinct grain patterns and color variations, which we can discuss during your initial consultation to match your aesthetic.

Is handmade furniture a good investment?

Absolutely. Unlike mass-produced items, handmade furniture is built utilizing traditional joinery techniques designed to last for generations. It is an investment in longevity, exceptional quality, and enduring style that often becomes a treasured family heirloom.
