Our process
Seven stages, no guesswork at any of them
Commissioning furniture should not feel like a leap of faith. Here is exactly what happens, in order, from your first message to the day it lands in your home.
- 01
Initial inquiry
Tell us what you have in mind. A rough idea, a room measurement, or a photo you saved is plenty to start with.
- 02
Consultation
We talk through how the piece will be used, who sits where, what has to fit, and which woods and finishes suit the room.
- 03
Design and quote
You receive drawings, dimensions, wood and finish options, and a firm price. We adjust until it is right on paper.
- 04
Deposit and scheduling
A deposit reserves your spot in the shop calendar. You get a realistic build window, not a guess.
- 05
The build
Lumber is selected board by board, milled, joined and shaped in our Saskatchewan shop. We send progress photos along the way.
- 06
Finishing
Sanding through the grits, then a durable finish chosen for how the piece will actually live in your home.
- 07
Delivery and installation
We deliver, place and level furniture, and fully install built-ins. Nothing leaves the shop until it is done properly.
Practicalities
The questions everyone asks
- How long does a project take?
- Most furniture runs eight to fourteen weeks from approved drawings. Larger built-ins can run longer. You get a realistic window before any deposit.
- What deposit do you take?
- A deposit reserves your place in the shop calendar and covers material. The balance is due on completion, before delivery.
- Can we change the design partway?
- Small changes are usually fine before the build starts. Once lumber is milled to your dimensions, changes cost time and material, which is why we spend real effort on the drawings.
- Do you deliver and install?
- Yes. Furniture is delivered, placed and levelled. Built-ins are fully installed, scribed and finished on site.
Reviews
Customers on working with us
“We waited years for the right dining table and it was worth it. Ten of us around it every Sunday and it still looks like the day it arrived.”
“They measured, drew it up, and built exactly what we talked about. No surprises, no chasing anyone for updates.”
“The bedroom set pulled the whole room together. The drawers glide, the finish is flawless, and it feels like furniture our kids will fight over one day.”
