Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I consider Elegant Grains custom-made furniture or furniture-grade cabinetry?               

A:  Has your search for furniture ended in frustration because the only piece you were able to find that came close to what you wanted was (a) not quite the right style, or (b) not quite the right dimensions, or (c) made with wood or veneers that are incompatible with your surrounding decor? Compromise is one alternative. Maybe you were fortunate enough to find the piece that satisfies all of the above requirements, but was priced where the cost/quality equation was unreasonable. Or perhaps you’re looking for a piece that is truly one-of-a kind - one that you want to help design - one that expresses your unique taste and personality. 

Q: What do I do if I have only a general idea of what I want custom-made?

A: Most customers have a general idea of what they want, and look to Elegant Grains to help develop the idea to a final design. Other customers have engaged the design services of an interior designer to provide the information required to proceed.

Q: Isn’t custom-made work from Elegant Grains expensive?

A: Not if you have no problem paying a reasonable price for high-quality fine furniture or cabinetry.  Sure, custom work from Elegant Grains may be priced a little higher than that of mass-produced high-quality furniture or cabinetry, but it will be made exclusively for you, to your exact specifications, with a guarantee that your specific design will never again be used without your permission. 

Q: Doesn’t elegant grains custom furniture and cabinetry involve a long lead time?

A: The lead time - from Proposal acceptance to delivery and set-up (and installation if applicable) - depends largely on the scope of the project in terms of size, amount of details, finish requirements, etc. Current work in process at the time of Proposal acceptance will also heavily influence lead times. Historically, four to eight weeks is a realistic lead time for planning purposes.  

Q: May I speak with several elegant grains customers?

A: Absolutely.  Every elegant grains customer is happy to be a reference.
