How to Order

Pricing

Please call or write for pricing information for specific pieces. Chair prices range from $2500 to $8000. Dining tables and desks range from $10,000 to $20,000.

Payments

When you place an order for a chair, I ask for a $250 non-refundable deposit. Because most chairs are custom-sized and the wood is your personal choice, I ask for the balance due before the work actually begins, that is, when we call to tell you that we’re ready to start making your piece. In an effort to keep prices as low as possible, we don’t accept credit cards. (Our low volume entails high credit card transaction costs.) Therefore, I ask for payment by check or money order.

How long does it take to get the furniture after ordering it?

Our usual lead time is about six months, but can vary from about three to eight months. When you order a piece, we can give you a fairly accurate estimate (give or take a month) of when we’ll be able to start work on it. Before making a piece, we will call you to reconfirm the particulars. Normally, if you give us the go-ahead and send payment, the chair will be finished and ready to ship within two months after that call.

Crating and Shipping

We use Plycon Transport for shipping our furniture. They crate and deliver the furniture to your house or apartment, bring it into your dwelling and remove all packaging. The work is fully insured. The approximate cost of shipping a chair almost any place in the country is under $550. Plycon gives good service at a reasonable price. We have worked with them for many years.

Special Commissions

There are far more designs in my portfolio than I’ve shown in this web site. If you’d like to see other work, please get in touch with me and I’ll gladly send images. However, if the qualities of my work appeal to you but you don’t see a piece that suits your specific need or satisfies your particular desire, I encourage you to enter into the design process with me. After we’ve talked, either in person or on the phone, and exchanged photographs and sketches, I’ll produce a finished drawing of a new design for you. (See Sketch Book for some examples.) I charge $350 per piece for this service.
