How Much Does Custom Furniture Cost and Using a Furniture Maker?

Custom furniture is a significant investment. A bedside table, for example will range from $1,750 to $2,500. A bedroom set ( as pictured in contemporary furniture) will range from $12,500 to $20,000. A bedroom dresser ( with two banks of drawers) starts at around $8,500. A simple dining table, $5,000. The prices vary significantly by the choice of wood, and other details. The work is done by single craftsman, a maker of furniture. From initial conversation, and design all the way to delivery. I even choose the individual boards that will become your piece! Though expensive, the price is comparable to the highest end manufactured furniture. However, upon completion, you will have a piece made by one craftsman, with over two decades of experience, and a passion for your project. Your piece will be exactly as you envisioned, and last for generations!

Cabinet Maker vs Furniture Maker

The terms "cabinet maker" and "furniture maker" are often used interchangeably, but they are not actually the same. A cabinet maker is someone who specializes in the construction of cabinets, while a furniture maker is someone who makes a wide variety of furniture, often including cabinets. The skills required for cabinet making and furniture making are quite different. Cabinet making requires strong woodworking skills and a good knowledge of carpentry, while furniture making requires a much wider range of skills, including woodturning, architectural mill work, working knowledge of furniture design, extensive experience in selecting the type of wood for custom furniture, joinery and more.
