1. Decide on your budget.
If you surf our site you
will get some idea of cost but please remember that the type of timber and
complexity of detailing can affect the price considerably.
|
2. Style
Think about the style of
furniture that appeals to you, maybe you like our high back dining chairs
but not the tables. We can take any of the designs shown and adjust them
to suit your needs and taste.
|
3. Size
Note the space available
for the new piece, or if you like, provide a floor plan of the room
showing where the furniture is to be situated. Photographs or sketches of
the room and any interesting architectural features can be very useful.
Sometimes these spark off great ideas.

4. Cupboards and storage
Supply a list for the type
of thing you plan to keep in the cupboard i.e. crockery, glasses, cutlery
etc.
If you require display
areas list the items to be displayed or give an indication of what they
might be.
Do you require glass doors
or open shelving?
|
5. Dining sets
How many people will you
need full place settings for?
Do you require an extending
table? I prefer making fixed top tables but we can and have made both.
How many chairs?
Would you like leather
upholstery or will you provide a fabric for us to upholster the chairs
with?
|
6. Bedrooms
This is a difficult one and
normally requires a site visit but some of the other points are valid. The
more you can define your needs the easier it is for us to come up with
solutions.
|
7. Desk
Is it for a computer or is
it a writing desk?
Is it for a domestic or
office situation?
Do you require separate
filing cabinets or filing drawers included?
Do you want to be able to
close it all away as in a roll top desk or do you just want plenty of
workspace?
|
8. Batch made items
Some of our furniture is
made in batches to keep cost down i.e. CONVERTABLE, our nesting tables,
music stands, and wave shelves.
These designs are as seen
and cannot be altered except in timber and finish.
Existing designs from our
portfolio, other than the batch produced items, can be changed to suit
special requirements.
|
9. Large or corporate
projects
Boardroom tables and large
projects will normally need a site visit so please contact Lee to arrange
a mutually convenient appointment.
|
10. How we present ideas
We will normally supply
dimensioned sketches with a perspective view of the proposed design. This
should give a good idea of our proposal.

example
After consultation we will
make any adjustments necessary to our design to suit your needs, and will
submit revisions for your approval.
|
11. Do we charge for our
designs?
Not necessarily.
Corporate work is normally
charged for. Small domestic works such as the chairs illustrated are not.
Example: A big project such
as a site visit and design of a bedroom similar to those shown on our
bedroom pages would cost £150.00 including VAT. This amount would be
refundable against the final cost of the bedroom furniture if you continue
with the project. Our fees are very reasonable and only cover expenses.
|
12. How to order
We ask for a one third
deposit with your order, the balance being due on delivery, which is
normally four to six months from date of order.
Batch produced furniture is
normally six to eight weeks from date of order.
