How Much Does Custom Furniture Cost?
You Might Be Surprised
Many people assume that custom furniture is out of their price range. They automatically think that mass produced pieces are the more economical choice. What they may not understand, however, is how much effort and craftsmanship goes into creating custom-made furniture.
Custom furniture builders do not just randomly name their price. They consider all the factors involved in producing high-standard products, beforehand.
Looking for Quality Materials
Furniture withstands years of wear and tear if you know how to take good care of it. Your furniture does not stand the test of time solely because of proper care and maintenance, though. It also needs a good foundation: high quality materials and great workmanship.
The use of high quality materials ensures clients that their customized chairs, tables, beds, and bookcases will remain in good condition for years to come. Quality control is not difficult, per se, but it is a meticulous working process that requires a sharp eye and careful testing.
2023 Average Cost According to Home Advisor: In the United States, the average cost to commission a piece of fairly simple designed custom furniture is around $2,564. However, this average can be deceiving, as costs can range from $1,050 to $4,252. Larger, more complex pieces tend to cost more and can be $5,000+.
Wood Species Rank In Cost
Pine (Most Affordable)
Alder (Most Affordable)
Poplar (Most Affordable)

Maple (More Affordable)
Red Oak (More Affordable)
Mesquite (More Expensive)
Pecan (More Expensive)
White Oak (More Expensive)

Obviously, the larger a piece is the more material and labor goes into its creation. More intricate designs and higher quality of craftsmanship affect labor cost.
Owning custom furniture is about having well-made chairs, tables, and shelves in your office or at home, either. It’s also about designing something and getting exactly what you envision, and it’s about creating furnishings that will last well into the future; possibly even become an heirloom. Thus, a customized bed or office table or any other type of fixture is worth more than its custom furniture price.
