Everything You Need to Know Before Ordering Custom Furniture

The Magic of Custom Furniture

Custom furniture is special. It’s not just another piece in your home. It’s your story, your style, and your vision brought to life.

Ever walked into a store and thought, I wish this table was a bit bigger? Or If only this sideboard came in blackbutt timber... That’s the beauty of custom furniture – it’s made just for you.

Why Choose Custom Over Ready-Made?

    •    Perfect Fit: No more squeezing furniture into awkward spaces. It’s made to fit your home.
    •    Designed for You: Your style, your colours, your materials. No settling.
    •    Built to Last: Handcrafted with high-quality timber and expert craftsmanship.

No flimsy shortcuts.

Ready-made furniture is mass-produced. Custom furniture is built with passion.

How Much Does Custom Furniture Cost?

The big question! Custom furniture isn’t the cheapest option, but it’s worth it. Think of it like an investment.
    •    Prices start from around $1,500 and can go up to $15,000+, depending on size, materials, and complexity.
    •    Unlike mass-produced furniture, custom pieces don’t fall apart after a few years. They last for generations.
    •    Want something truly unique? Customisation means you get exactly what you want.

How Long Does It Take to Make?

Patience is key. Custom furniture isn’t made overnight. Good things take time.
    •    Most pieces take between 4-16 weeks to build.
    •    Each step – from selecting timber to the final finish – is done with care.
    •    Handcrafted = no rushing. We want every detail to be perfect.

What Timber Should You Choose?

Timber choice matters. Each type has its own character, just like people.
    •    Messmate: Warm and full of personality.
    •    American Oak: Classic and timeless.
    •    Blackbutt: Durable and elegant.
    •    Reclaimed Timber: A little history in every grain.
    •    Walnut: Rich, dark, and luxurious.

Not sure? We help you choose the right one for your style and space.
