If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking around at different Bespoke Furniture Manufacturers. And trying to figure out which one would be best for your furniture creations.

It can be overwhelming when looking for a supplier to choose. There are so many people out there offering different services, and it’s hard to know which one is right for you.

So choosing the right person for your job can have a massive impact on your enjoyment of the process. But let’s say you choose the wrong company… In the end, it is wasted time, money and energy for everybody involved. And that bad experience can leave people bitter and angry. We don’t like the sound of that, and we’re sure you don’t either.

To help you on your journey, instead of me explaining how awesome and great we are. I want to talk about why maybe we might not be the best solution for you.

So why not let us help you? We want to be open and honest with you and share some reasons why people might not want to work with us. Here are: 4 Reasons Colinton Furniture is NOT a fit for your Furniture Solutions.

1. You’re looking for Something “Short-Term”

If you’re looking for something short term then we are probably not the right company for you. Here’s why.

The furniture we make can be moved from house to house, appreciated for years and even passed down through the generations. So if you’re looking for a dining room table with a dodgy leg that you put up with because you only want and need it for a few years… That’s not us!

Everything we make is a lifetime investment! And with the correct loving care, it’s possible. We strive for nothing less than perfection. Call us perfectionists… But we want you to gaze at your custom-made furniture for many years to come, happy in the knowledge that it is nothing short of perfect.

So if you’re not ready to make an investment in something lifelong. And would rather something “that will do for now” I would probably suggest some IKEA furniture.

But if you want something that is beautiful and durable, that fits your exact needs… We are the right people for the job.

2. You’re looking for “Cheap” Furniture

I’m just going to say this… Good quality furniture isn’t cheap! I know right? Who would have thought!

Seriously though, if you’re making your furniture decisions based purely on price… We know we won’t be the cheapest option. First off, we don’t do sales and we don’t offer discounts.

But why?

It’s because we value the time and expertise it takes when it comes to furniture. And want you to as well. So you can rest easy knowing you’re not getting something of a low quality. But instead, you’re getting the best quality furniture, made especially for you.

When it comes to getting something made to fit your specific needs for a specific space. You need to work with someone who you can trust to do the job right. And when furniture is that important to you… Quality always comes before cost.

3. You’re Looking for a Quick Turn Around

Good furniture takes time to make.

There is a whole load of things that go into making something special. I want to talk to you about Mr. and Mrs. I.

Mr. and Mrs. I are past clients of ours. They got in touch because they have moved house and are looking for a new Fitted Storage Wall.

They came in with a blank canvas knowing only that they wanted a Fitted Storage Unit. Together they worked with our design team to come up with something that suited their tastes and needs. We offered various recommendations on everything included. Design, Materials, Colours, Door Handles or Push Latches, Open Units or Doorless. We did this until they were happy with the designs and ready to move onto production.

Fast forward to now… Mr. and Mrs. I are sitting at home, happy with all the choices they made. And to know it? All they have to do is look at the beautiful finished product they helped create.

So how long did the whole process take? From initial contact to installation – 11 weeks.

What is my point here? Well, when it comes to bespoke furniture you need to be patient and appreciate it’s going to take time.

You can’t create something beautifully handcrafted overnight. So if you’re tight on time and need a quick fix. Unfortunately, we probably won’t be able to help you. But if you’re willing to wait – give us a call and let us know how we can help you.

4. You’re not Looking for a Statement Piece

All our furniture we make is a one-off and bespoke to each individual client. Our products reflect all the hard work and thought that has gone into them to make them special. They each say something different about the owner.

If you’re a potential domestic customer it could be… A dining table – to bring your family together. A wine cellar wall rack – to showcase your taste in fine wine. A display cabinet – to show all your sailing trophies. A new kitchen – to make cooking look easy. A children’s bedroom fit out – that actually makes children want to go to bed. Or even a bathroom fit out – to give you that moment of well-deserved relaxation.

Or if you’re a potential commercial client it could be… A new reception desk – to give your clients that great first impression. A grand desk – to show everyone you mean business. A home office – to help you work better. A conference table – to get you that business deal you’ve been wanting. Or an office break room – to give your employees the downtime they deserve.

What you are looking for is completely unique to you and your needs. No two jobs are ever the same. And our furniture easily stands out from other types. Making you look good.

So Are We a match?

Well… if what you want is mass produced, low-grade furniture with no sentimental value. And are looking for today’s bargain – here’s the link to Oak Furniture Land.

Everything we do is special. We want to you to stand out, proud in knowing you have the best possible furniture for you. Knowing that our craftsman’s heart and soul have gone into making something beautiful. Just. For. You.
