Are you looking for custom made furniture but aren’t sure which out of the dizzying choice of furniture manufacturers to go for? This guide will explore the range of things to consider when making your decision.
What Do You Want To Have Made?
The first step is to decide what you want the manufacturer to make for you. Some will specialise in furniture like sofas and armchairs, while others may be focussed on wardrobes or tables. For this reason it’s important to know what you want to make first, so that you only approach furniture manufacturers who actually make what you want! What Is Your Budget?
The next thing to think about is your budget. Just like with retail furniture, there is a wide range of manufacturers producing custom made furniture at many different price points.
Don’t forget to consider things like different materials, sizes and types of paint or finish when asking about price. This will help make sure your project doesn't go over budget.
Delivery Options And Location
Another important thing to consider when choosing between furniture manufacturers is what delivery options they offer, and where they are based. Many people like to choose a local manufacturer as it means they can visit the workshop regularly and take an active role in the furniture’s build. This is great if you designed the piece yourself and wanted to ensure it was being built to your exact standard.
Other buyers like to take a hands off approach. In this instance, location of the workshop is not important as you are unlikely to visit it regularly. Instead, ask about delivery. Ensure that the company will be able to deliver it and actually get it in your house! It’s a good idea to measure your front door and let the company know, otherwise getting the finished article home could become an expensive headache!
What Will The Furniture Used For?
The next thing to consider is what will the furniture be used for, and where will it be used? This is important as it can help you decide which furniture manufacturers to choose. Some companies will specialise in highly ornamental designs, though these can be fragile. This might be a good choice for people looking for a piece that won't see daily use.
Alternatively, you may need a piece of furniture that can withstand frequent use. In this instance, look for furniture manufacturers that have already produced a large number of functional pieces of furniture.
Size Of Company
The last thing you need to think about is the size of the company. Larger companies tend to have more projects on the go, and so they may not have as much time to focus on your project. Also, if your project is relatively low value, it may not be seen as that important to the business and therefore it could be sidelined or delayed. On the other hand, if you go for a smaller company, they may be able to prioritise your project and give better client care.
