How Much Does Custom Furniture Cost?
When considering custom furniture, one of the most frequent questions clients have is, “How much does custom furniture cost?” The answer can vary significantly based on several key factors, making it essential to understand what influences the price to make an informed decision.
Firstly, the type of furniture you’re commissioning plays a crucial role in determining the cost. A simple coffee table will generally be less expensive than a custom-built dining table with intricate details or a built-in media wall. The complexity of the design, including the number of components and the level of craftsmanship required, will directly affect the final price.

Material choice is another major factor. High-quality, exotic woods like walnut or cherry come with a higher price tag compared to more common options such as oak, birch, or ash. Additionally, special finishes, veneers, or hardware can add to the cost. A painted finish is typically a less-expensive finish option. We may source materials specifically for your project, and the quality and rarity of these materials will influence the overall price.
Labor and craftsmanship also play significant roles in the cost of bespoke furniture. Skilled artisans spend considerable time designing, constructing, and finishing each piece. The level of detail and the complexity of the joinery, as well as the amount of time dedicated to the project, are factored into the pricing. Read more about choosing bespoke furniture.
Size and scale are also important considerations. Larger pieces naturally require more material and labor, impacting the overall cost. Additionally, bespoke furniture that includes unique features or advanced functionality will likely be priced higher due to the additional engineering and design work involved.
