How Much Does Custom Commercial Furniture Cost?

Custom furniture is quoted per project, not off a price list — because two pieces the same size can carry very different labor and materials. Here’s what actually moves the number.

The short answer

Custom commercial furniture is priced per project, driven by the piece’s size and construction, the quantity, your upholstery and fill spec, the finish, and freight to your destination. There is no catalog line and no showroom markup — so rather than a figure that won’t match your job, the honest answer is: send a plan or rough dimensions and we return a firm quote, typically within about two business days.

Understanding the factors below helps you value-engineer before you ever request a quote.

What drives the number

Cost factorWhat moves the price
Dimensions & constructionBigger pieces and complex builds — curves, hand-tied seats, show-wood — take more material and bench time
QuantityA single piece prices differently than a production run or a multi-location rollout
Upholstery (COM/COL)Often the biggest swing; as a COM/COL shop the textile budget stays in your control, with no markup on the fabric
Foam & fill specFoam density and fills (Dacron, down and feather) are specified to the use; all meet TB 117-2013
Frame constructionHardwood contract-grade frames and the seat suspension — 8-way hand-tied vs. sinuous — affect labor and materials
Finish & detailingStandard, upgraded, or custom-matched finishes, plus channeling, tufting, welt, and nailhead hand-labor
Freight & scheduleDestination and method (carton or palletized from Los Angeles), plus phasing on large rollouts

How to get a firm number, faster

The fastest path to an accurate quote is a floor plan or overall dimensions, your upholstery direction, the finish you have in mind, quantities, and your delivery city. As a custom manufacturer, we produce shop drawings for your approval before anything is built, so the quote and the finished piece match — and there is no minimum, so a single statement piece is quoted the same way as a full rollout. See what to send for a quote. Quotes typically come back within about two business days, with a firm lead time included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does custom commercial furniture cost?

It is quoted per project — driven by size and construction, quantity, your COM/COL material, fill and frame spec, finish, and freight. Send a plan or dimensions and we return a firm quote, typically within about two business days.

Why don’t you publish prices?

Because two pieces of the same size can carry very different labor and materials — a plain bench and a channel-tufted, show-wood banquette price differently. A firm number comes from your drawings, not a chart.

Is custom more expensive than catalog furniture?

Not necessarily — custom removes catalog and showroom markups and gives exact fit and material control. Cost depends on construction, detailing, and quantity.

Does using my own fabric (COM) save money?

COM keeps the textile spend in your control with no showroom markup on the fabric — you buy the cover at your price, and we confirm the yardage on your shop drawings before you order.

Is there a minimum order?

No — from a single bespoke piece to full production runs, quoted the same way.

How fast will I get a quote?

Typically within about two business days of sending your specs or drawings, with a firm lead time included.
