Handmade, Custom-Made, and Made-to-Order Furniture: Why You Deserve All Three
Defining Furniture Terms: Handmade, Custom Made, Made-to-Order
- Handmade
Definition: made by hand or by a hand process
Handmade furniture is exactly how it sounds: built and assembled using one’s hands. Handmade furniture — or any handmade item are high valued for two reasons. First, it implies that more effort went into the creation of that item; and second, that each one is unique. As a result, each handmade piece of furniture is unique, high quality and remains unchanged over time.
- Custom-Made
Definition: made to individual specifications
Custom-made furniture refers to pieces that craftsmen build according to the customer’s specifications. It allows you to decide on the color, type of material used, finish, and design, among other things. In other words, it allows you to create a piece of furniture as you imagine it!
- Made-to-Order
Definition: produced to supply a special or an individual demand
Furniture is made-to-order if production begins only when a customer orders it. For example, MODplus only makes made-to-order furniture; we don’t pre-make or keep an inventory of finished pieces. The term “made-to-order” gives furniture a certain prestige, given that others can’t buy the same thing anywhere else.
At MODplus, everything is born from the love of what we do and the desire to offer the customer furniture that exceed their expectations. Here we apply all three terms in the furniture manufacturing process.
We create furniture that you dream exclusively for you. We believe that you are not worth anything less.
