Frequently Asked Questions
What are your prices?
The quick answer is: affordable but not cheap. The prices, especially on custom furniture, vary depending on size, material, complexity + design. Handcrafted solid wood furniture is typically more expensive than the big box flatpack stuff but will last a lifetime longer if taken care of properly, saving you money in the longrun.
Where do you ship to?
Canada + USA lower 48.
How much is shipping?
Currently, it’s free for all items in the store. Custom orders are subject to shipping charges.
What is your typical lead time?
Made-to-order items in the store ship out in 3 - 5 weeks.
Pre-made items in the store ship in 2 - 4 business days.
A custom project could be anywhere from 3 - 8 weeks. These estimates are subject to change based on previous orders in the queue.
Where is your furniture built?
It’s all hand-built in North Vancouver, BC. Some other “local” furniture companies outsource factories in Asia and Europe to build their furniture, resulting in excessive delays and craftsmanship issues.
