The choice and purchase of furniture is the most important stage of home improvement. Furniture, above all, is comfort and convenience, but at the same time, furniture items set the tone for all interior design. The assortment of modern shops is able to surprise even the most demanding customers. However, in practice it often turns out that the purchase of a finished cabinet, chest or bed turns into an almost impossible task. Difficulties can arise with the size of furniture, especially if the apartment or house has a non-standard layout. In addition, if the interior of the house requires a certain design, configuration or color combinations, prepare to spend a lot of time looking for suitable furniture items or immediately abandon your dream of perfect design.
However, not everything is as sad as it seems at first glance. If for some reason you can not pick up a ready-made furniture kit, you always have the opportunity to make furniture to order. Many manufacturers of modern furniture, wishing to find an approach to all their customers, gladly provide this service, realizing all our ideas and ideas."House of Dreams" offers a detailed look at what the pros and cons are furniture on order.
Advantages of custom furniture manufacturing
1. Individual dimensions
The desire to purchase custom furniture often occurs when there are any non-standard shapes or sizes in the layout of an apartment or house. Let's say your room has a small corner or an opening and you want to place a chest of drawers there. Find an object that fits perfectly in size will not be easy at all. But to order, it is initially manufactured to meet your requirements for size, resulting in finished furniture will take its place without leaving any gaps or lumens. Similarly, you can vary the size of absolutely any product, focusing on the technical features of the premises and personal needs.
2. Custom design
It would seem that in modern stores you can find any designer delights. Indeed, the assortment of finished furniture differs in a variety of styles and designs. However, it is not uncommon for buyers to encounter difficulties while searching for furniture that suits them both in quality, size, price, and design, and as a result, design suffers as a rule. Custom-made furniture will eliminate the need to find compromises, because, in fact, it is you who are its creator. All you need is to find an example of a suitable furniture item, to discuss with the expert all the nuances of this or that product, to wait for the sketch and consult with it. But keep in mind - finished furniture will fully meet your requirements only if you take a direct part in the process of its creation. It means that you will have to see how thoroughly the sketch will be worked out. In addition, to get the desired result at the output, try to control the intermediate stages of production.
3. Possibility to choose materials and accessories
When ordering the manufacture of furniture, you can choose absolutely any materials. This is an indisputable plus, because in this way it becomes possible to control the design, quality and price of products. It is believed that imported furniture is better than domestic furniture, but this does not always turn out to be true. In fact, both foreign and domestic manufacturers make furniture from the same basic raw materials, being guided in the process of its creation by identical carpenter's rules. The quality of furniture is equally dependent on all its components, including material, construction, furniture, paint and varnish, etc. Since the furniture will be manufactured according to your requirements, you can control the whole process of its production, choosing accessories, paint, materials and raw materials of any manufacturers.
4. Possibility to make furniture more functional
In addition to the external appearance, you can also control the internal "stuffing" of products. The design of furniture, which requires the highest functionality, for example, a kitchen set, chest of drawers, etc., is usually made according to standard templates, which is not suitable for all owners. If the furniture is created by individual order, the masters necessarily take into account your requirements regarding the internal dimensions of the products, the location of the shelves and other important nuances.
5. Service and warranty service
Many are afraid to order furniture, believing that smallproduction can not provide their customers with a worthy service. But in practice, the service in individual workshops is often more pleasant than in large networks. As a rule, a client is assigned to a manager who can answer all their questions at any time.
Serious firms necessarily provide customers with warranty service and make them happy with various bonuses - free shipping, discounts, etc.
And a few cons
In fact, custom-made furniture has only two minuses:
- high price;
- long term of production.
The cost of individually manufactured furniture is almost always slightly higher than finished products. This is easily explained by the fact that working with only your order, the manufacturer spends more money than when manufacturing a wholesale batch. But given that such furniture is of high quality, it will last for a very long time, and in the long run its cost will not be so high.
As for long expectations, not all customers are facing this disadvantage. It all depends on the workload of the manufacturer, as well as on factors such as the complexity of the production process and the presence / absence of raw materials.
Another conditional disadvantage of furniture on order can be attributed to the fact that most often it is manufactured to certain sizes and parameters. If you want to rearrange furniture or you have to change an apartment, it will not be easy to find a suitable place for it.
In general, custom-made furniture is an excellent option, allowing to realize their ideas, and also rationally use the area of the room. However, in order not to be disappointed with the result, carefully choose the manufacturer and carefully follow the process of making furniture.
