When we decide on custom-made furniture by a carpenter, one of the key questions is: "How long will I have to wait for my order to be fulfilled?" The answer to this question is not simple, because the waiting time for custom-made furniture may vary significantly depending on many factors. In this post, we will take a closer look at what influences furniture delivery time and how you can prepare for the wait.

Factors Affecting Waiting Time:

1. Complexity of the Project The more complex and unique the project, the longer its implementation may take. Furniture with numerous details, unusual shapes or special applications requires more time from the carpenter for design, refinement of details and production itself.

2. Availability of Materials Sometimes the execution of an order may be delayed due to difficulties in quick access to the necessary materials, especially if they are specific, non-standard or imported raw materials.

3. Current Orders Popular and respected carpenters may have orders planned for many weeks or even months in advance. If you decide to use the services of such a specialist, you will probably have to adapt to his schedule.

4. Design and Change Time Designing custom-made furniture often requires consultation between the client and the carpenter, which may affect the overall implementation time, especially when changes to the design occur.

5. Peak Periods Waiting times may be longer during the pre-Christmas or spring/summer seasons, when many people decide to make renovations and changes to their homes.

Average Waiting Time

Taking into account the above factors, the waiting time for custom-made furniture can range from several weeks to several months. On average, most customers can expect their order to be delivered within 4 to 12 weeks. It is important to discuss the expected turnaround time with your carpenter before starting the project and bear in mind that high quality and a personalized approach take time.
