Local Custom Furniture Makers - Delivering Style and Quality at Affordable Prices

Searching for high quality American-made furniture your family will be able to enjoy for many years? Have you looked in your own backyard? If not, you may be surprised to find that locally crafted furniture offers greater value than anything you might find in your local big-box store. Sounds impossible? Check it out.

Do a quick search in your location (Internet, Yellow Pages or otherwise) for something like "built to order furniture". No doubt you'll be able to locate a number of small businesses that specialize in high quality, handmade furniture. The trick is to determine which of those craftsmen routinely builds the type of furniture you're looking for. That information can save you thousands of dollars!

You probably think having custom handmade furniture built just for you is too expensive, don't you? Well, that could be true if you are working with a craftsman who has to start from scratch and spend a lot of time on furniture design before even beginning the process of furniture building. But if you find a craftsman who's already built the type of furniture you need, then he or she will save valuable design time and be able to focus on tailoring their existing designs to your needs. Slight alterations of dimensions are generally easy and add little to the cost of custom, handmade furniture. Other easy and affordable alterations that can personalize your furniture include custom finishes, custom leg styles, custom edging and installation of your own choice of hardware.

Will locally handmade custom furniture cost less than off-the-shelf Chinese imports at Bob's or Ashely Furniture? Of course not. But for those seeking quality and value in their furniture, investing in the real thing now will pay off in the long run. Chances are you will never have to replace locally made custom furniture. It will be in your family for generations, an heirloom you will be proud to own and pass down to your children and grandchildren- an investment in your family's future, and your community's future as well.
