Why Custom? |
|
 |
 |
If this is the
first time you have ever ordered a hand crafted custom made piece of
furniture, you are about to embark on an exciting journey and will
be truly surprised by the benefits of doing so. |
Before
we begin your journey, let us share with you a short list of the
"perfect client" with Custom Furniture needs.
"Space
Constraints" ...
A standard sized table or cabinet will just not
fit. |
"Saw
the exact piece that you want"...
But it doesn't come in the size that you need. |
"Have
an antique or existing piece and need another to
match
it." |
| "Just
want something really fabulous." |
|
| |
Custom
Orders ...
"Turning your furniture dreams into a reality." |
Four
Steps occur when placing a custom order:
- Receiving Your
Request:
Gathering all
your design information to create a proposal with costs for creating
your custom furniture or interior.
- Proposal
Acceptance:
Your acceptance of
our proposal with a deposit for 1/2 the cost received
by us
in order to get
started.
- Production:
We begin manufacturing your furniture.
- Finishing:
Quality Control. Colors, details checked and
reconfirmed. Your custom Jeannot is then on its way to
you!
|
|
Let's
go over each of the four steps in more detail ...
|
1.
Receiving Your Request:
|
The
first step in creating custom furniture or interiors is
compiling all of the details and information from you
for what your wishes are. Below are some of the
questions that help us get started. When actually
ordering we have an online form that is filled
out. |
|
- What type of furniture
would you like designed and what specific uses
do you have for it?
- How many pieces would
you like?
- What are the
dimensions Width, Height and Depth?
- Are there specific
wood specifications? Alder, oak, walnut,
bamboo, cherry, other?
- Any and all specific
details concerning the furniture such as ...
- Does it go upstairs or into an elevator?
- Are there any special carvings, door styles,
etc?
- Are there any audio visual specifications?
- Do you want a stone
top?
- What type of fabric
would you want us to use?
Jeannot Fine Furniture does have a full upholstery
shop where chairs, beds, ottomans, and cushions are
made.
- Glass?
Lighting? Hardware?
- Last but hardly
least ...
We ask that you send us photos, images or sketches
of what you want so that we may deliver to you a
most accurate proposal on the cost to create your
custom Jeannot.

2. Proposal
Acceptance
|
Acceptance
of proposal includes agreement on price and deposit
received. |
|
Once
all the information is gathered from Step 1 and you have
approved the price, in most cases, a rendering is
created for your approval to double check that all the
design integrity of what we are creating has been
properly communicated. |
|
After
the rendering is approved with the proper measurements
and design details, your design goes to the next step
which is production.
|
|
3. Production
|
Our
lead time is approximately 6 - 8 weeks for manufacturing
and finishing. There are some instances along the
way where changes to the design may occur once the
production process has begun. This can result in an
adjustment to the agreed upon price which will always be
disclosed for approval from you before any changes are
made. |
|
When
the furniture is completed it goes through our quality
control, and then depending on if you live close or far
away, you are welcome to come to our facility to check the
progress periodically. Otherwise a digital image
will be sent to you before the furniture goes into
finishing.
|
|
4. Finishing
|
While
Step 3 is in process we simultaneously begin on Step
4. We create a sample for you of the finishing
requests you submitted in Step 1. You may have, in lieu of
submitting a finishing request of your own, selected a
standard finishing option from Jeannot. In either case a
sample* of the finishing is sent to you for approval. Upon
acceptance we keep 1/2 of the sample and you receive the
other 1/2 for your final check on correct color.
Sometimes clients like to keep the color samples in order
to work on other color palettes in the room or elsewhere
in the home. |
|
When
your furniture comes out of production we apply the
approved finishing and another level of quality
control. Final details are applied which may
include, depending upon your furniture, hardware, glass or
lights. At this point another digital image is sent to you
for your approval. |
|
Delivery
gets set up for your custom designed furniture to be
delivered to your home. Installations are included is
required. |
|
|
|
*Please Note:
As soon as an order is received, a finish sample will be sent out for your review. |
|
The images in this website are photographic representations of actual finish samples and are intended for reference only. These finish samples have been prepared on carefully selected woods. However, as wood is a natural material, slight variations occur in wood color and texture, grain configurations, and stain acceptance. |
|
Finished pieces may vary slightly in tone or character from this sample and no guarantee can be made of an exact match. |
