At some shops, you can find furniture that is ridiculously cheap &#8211; and you will\u00a0be replacing those items in less than five years. <em>Handcrafted furniture is the antiques of tomorrow<\/em>. When you buy well-made, handcrafted furniture, you make\u00a0an investment \u2013 an expression of quality and personal style that you can hand down to your children\u00a0and they, in turn, to their\u00a0children.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL OPTIONS?<br \/>\nA custom furniture maker chooses the material, whether solid wood, mild or stainless steel, plastics or veneer, for its color, figure and beauty.<br \/>\nFactories mass-producing furniture cannot afford to work with the wood\u2019s grain, so they often work cross-grain to minimize waste. This may have the effect of weakening the piece. When you see a piece with carefully matched grain direction on all the doors or on the tabletop, you see how special a piece of furniture can be. We have many years of design experience to assist\u00a0you\u00a0in selecting the best material for your application.<\/p>\n<p>HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?<br \/>\nThe amount of time it takes a custom piece varies depending on complexity, materials, and other variables. During the planning phase, we will work with you to ensure we have realistic deadlines based on specific design requirements.
