Lifetime Quality
Getting a custom made product means you can allocate the budget for different elements of a furniture piece – and decide where to splurge for quality.
For example, if you would like a high quality chair that will last for decades, we will recommend creating the frame out of a high-quality (more expensive) wood. Then, we can work with you to design less expensive cushions (which will probably be replaced throughout the years as design trends change).
These pieces of furniture should be constructed with solid wood such as oak and mahogany. You should advise clients to steer clear of other materials such as laminated materials or plastics. They do not last as long as sturdy, solid wood.
Can Heirloom Furniture Withstand Trends?
If you’re thinking this same question…the answer is absolutely they can! There are so many ways to alter furniture to ensure they become timeless.
