Questions & Answers

Every piece is built to your specifications, so pricing depends on the type of furniture, wood choice, and complexity of the build. It will cost more than something off the shelf at Pottery Barn. But what you get is a one of a kind piece, built to last, that nobody else has.

You'll also be supporting a local small business, which never hurts.

To get things started, we'll have a conversation. I'll get a sense of what you're looking for and give you a rough high/low estimate to account for wood and material choices.

If the cost works for you, I'll take a $200 non-refundable deposit and put together a detailed 3D design and full budget breakdown.

Once we're aligned on both, we hit the ground running.

I work primarily with hardwoods. My most commonly used species are walnut, maple, ash, alder, white oak, and poplar, but I'm always open to working with other species depending on the project. If you have a specific wood in mind, let's talk.

I can get close, but an exact match is difficult to guarantee. Wood species, age, and finish all affect how a piece looks, and no two pieces of wood are identical. That said, I'll do my best to match the style, species, and finish as closely as possible. If this is important to your project, it's worth discussing early in the process.

I charge material cost plus 10% upfront, with the remaining balance due when the build is complete.

Delivery costs are billed separately and depend on your location and the size of the piece. In some cases, delivery is on me.

Not at the moment, but Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App all work great.

Most projects take between 3 and 6 weeks once I start the build.

Depending on my current queue, there may be a wait before I can get started. Reach out early if you have a deadline in mind.

Yes, in many cases. Depending on your location and the size of the piece, I can often handle delivery myself. For larger or more complex deliveries, I'm happy to help you find a mover.

100% yes!

Generally no, but it's not out of the question. Shipping a large piece of furniture is complex and costly, but if you're outside Southern California and serious about a piece, reach out and we can discuss options.

Unfortunately not. While I can build solid wood shelving, bookcases, and cabinets to your exact dimensions, I'm not able to offer on-site measurements or installation. If you have a contractor who can handle that side of things, I'm happy to build to their specs.

I stand behind everything I build. If something fails due to a craftsmanship issue, reach out and I'll make it right. I can't account for natural wood movement or wear and tear over time, but a well-built piece of hardwood furniture should last for generations, and that's exactly what I aim for.
