When considering custom wood furniture, it's essential to understand the factors that contribute to the final price. Unlike mass-produced furniture, bespoke pieces are tailored to your specific needs and preferences, which involves a unique pricing structure. This blog will break down the various elements that influence the cost of custom wood furniture.



1. Wood Species and Material Costs:

• Type of Wood: Different wood species vary in cost due to their rarity, quality, and characteristics. Exotic woods are typically more expensive than domestic ones.
• Material Sourcing: The cost of sourcing sustainable and high-quality wood also affects the overall price.

2. Custom Features and Design Elements:

• Complexity of Design: Intricate designs and unique features require more time and skill, impacting the cost.
• Personalization: Customizations such as engravings, inlays, and live edge features add to the price but create a unique piece tailored to your tastes.

3. Craftsmanship and Labor:

• Skilled Labor: The expertise and time required by skilled artisans contribute significantly to the cost of bespoke furniture.
• Handcrafted Quality: Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand, ensuring high quality and attention to detail.

4. Finishing Techniques:

• Type of Finish: The choice of finish, whether natural oils, varnishes, or the premium Clean Armor finish, affects the price.
• Application Process: The labor-intensive process of applying and curing the finish adds to the overall cost.

5. Size and Dimensions:

• Custom Sizes: Custom tables are made to fit your space perfectly, and larger pieces or specific dimensions require more materials and labor.

6. Additional Costs:

• Delivery and Installation: The cost of delivering and installing the furniture can vary based on location and complexity.
• Warranty and Aftercare: Offering warranties and aftercare services can also contribute to the overall price.
