The Benefits of Custom Wood Furniture

Consider the following questions:
Have you seen a furniture design that you like, but the wood or the finish applied was not ideal?
Do you have a uniquely shaped or sized area in your home that demands a custom piece of wood furniture or cabinetry?
Do you need a new piece of wood furniture that must match an existing collection of pieces, and have been unable to find that match in commercially-produced furniture?
Do you require a set of built-in cabinets which match the furnishings in the room, but can't find any pre-manufactured cabinetry that has the same color or design features?
One of the most obvious benefits of custom wood furniture and cabinetry is that you don't have to compromise what you really want when you make purchase decisions like the ones described above. Since it's not already built, you have total control over all aspects of the design; the size, style, wood, trim and molding details, decorative hardware, and finish.

Long-Term Value:
Many couples starting families often cannot afford to buy high-end quality furniture or cabinetry, and even if they can, they often choose less expensive pieces due to the rugged use they will receive from young children. However, after years of owning disposable furniture or cabinetry, many look for finely built pieces that are more luxurious and will stand the test of time.

Intelligent homeowners have long recognized the increase in home equity achieved by installing quality kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and other built-in components; entertainment centers, home theaters, home offices, library units, etc.

Costs:
Prices for custom built furniture and cabinetry are generally higher than those found in high-end factory showrooms, but not in all cases. Given that custom wood furniture will be built to your exact specifications with no compromises, it is worth paying a little extra.

A quote, often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, makes this point perfectly:

"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price has been forgotten."

One last thing to realize is that properly built custom wood furniture will appreciate over time, unlike mass-produced pieces that literally begin to depreciate from the moment it's loaded onto a truck for delivery to your home. so go see our web site @ www.andersonwoodwork.net

The benefits of buying handmade studio furniture

Stores sell everything under the sun, but not everything is top-quality, especially these days. Prices are continually going up, and quality is going down. The quality of manufactured items is at an all-time low, but some people are forced to buy them. They do not realize that they have other choices. Handmade items are generally far better in more ways than one, and they should be sought out whenever possible. Consider these reasons to buy handmade items, and discover why handcrafted goods are almost always better than anything made by machine.

They are Higher in Quality than Manufactured Goods

Quality is one of the biggest reasons to buy handmade items. Things made by machine are not nearly as good - at least not always. When a person that cares about their handiwork creates something they consider valuable, it will be of the highest quality in every possible way. This is especially true if they connect their name with the items they sell. They want people to buy their goods, and they want them to appreciate the quality.

Handmade Items are Made with Pride

Another one of the greatest reasons to buy handmade items is the amount of pride that goes into each and every stitch, brushstroke or whatever it takes to create it. If someone cares, it will most certainly show. They will care about mistakes and imperfections. This goes back to quality. Human beings are capable of creating amazing works of art whether they are designed from cloth, wood, yarn, canvas, clay or something else altogether.

They are Highly Unique


Handmade items are highly unique. Even if they have been traced or stenciled, no two items are exactly the same. This is another one of the main reasons why people should buy handmade items over store bought things. Their uniqueness makes them worth far more than anything similar made by machine. Handmade words of art or everyday items vary in unique and appealing ways.

Handmade Items are Priceless in the True Sense of the Word

Considering the aforementioned reasons to buy handmade items, they are priceless in the true sense of the word. Almost everything tangible is assigned a value, but it is the uniqueness and level of quality that makes handmade items truly precious. Buy handcrafted products whenever possible, and fill your home with unique decor, furniture, fabrics and other goods of the highest quality.

Artisans do not get paid for their time. When calculating what they earn for every hour they carve, paint, sand, cut and stitch their work, they receive only pennies, but the results are nothing short of spectacular when they craft their items with talent, pride and passion.
