Before you commission

What to know before you request a custom piece

A few minutes of context now saves weeks of back-and-forth later.

1 What to know before requesting custom

Custom furniture is not "off the shelf, but personalized." It is built from scratch to your size, wood, and finish. That means slower, pricier, and longer-lasting than anything mass produced.

Bring a rough vision, not a final spec. Good makers iterate with you.

2 What affects price

Wood choice is the biggest lever. Walnut and white oak cost two to three times more than poplar or pine. Joinery type matters: dovetails and mortise-and-tenon take more hours than pocket screws.

Finish complexity, hardware quality, and delivery distance also move the number.

3 How timelines work

Most makers are booked 4 to 12 weeks out. Solid wood needs time to acclimate before final cuts. Multi-coat finishes add a week or more.

Confirm a written delivery window before you pay a deposit.

4 What photos and measurements help

Send three things: a photo of the room it will live in, a reference image of a piece you like, and rough dimensions (length x width x height).

Tape-measure precision is fine. The maker confirms specs before fabrication.

5 How to choose a maker

Look at joinery on the back of past pieces. Anyone can make the front look clean. Ask where they source wood and how they finish it.

Get a written quote with a payment schedule. Half upfront is standard; full payment before delivery is fine; full payment upfront is a red flag.

People also ask

How much does custom furniture cost in your area?
A custom dining table runs about $1,800 to $6,000. Built-ins start around $2,500 per linear foot of cabinetry. Solid hardwood, hand-cut joinery, and complex finishes push the price up. Send a project request and you will get quotes from local makers within a few days.
How long does a custom piece take?
Most custom furniture takes 4 to 12 weeks from design sign-off to delivery. Smaller pieces like a single side table can be faster. Built-ins and large dining tables run longer because of finishing time. Ask the maker for a written timeline before you pay a deposit.
What information should I share when requesting a custom project?
Send the rough size, the wood or finish you want, photos of pieces you like, the room it will live in, and your budget range. Makers reply faster when they can quote without a back-and-forth. Skip the photos if you are still exploring — that is fine.
Do makers in your area design as well as build?
Most custom furniture makers will work from a sketch, a Pinterest reference, or a rough description. Some have an in-house designer; others partner with a local interior designer. If you need full design service, mention that in your request.
How do I pick the right maker?
Look at their past work first — joinery, finish quality, and consistency tell you everything. Ask about wood sourcing, finishing process, and warranty. Get a written quote with a clear payment schedule before you commit.
