Custom Furniture Project Services
Project Services is for the order that needs a decision before it needs a checkout button. Use this route when a project includes more than one piece, a defined client approval process, an own-material question, an outdoor vendor comparison, an installation target, or a delivery constraint that should be discussed before the order is released.

Which projects benefit from an Uptown Sebastian project conversation?
Start a project conversation when the selected furniture has to do more than look right in a browser window. That can include a custom sofa or sectional for a residential design, several pieces that need a common material direction, a hospitality or commercial outdoor selection requiring vendor-specific warranty review, or a multi-unit order where quantities and delivery access need to be discussed.
Use the project route early. A project conversation cannot turn an unverified material, a missed access condition, or an expired delivery estimate into a safe specification after the fact.
| Project situation | Why it is worth discussing before order | Information to send first |
|---|---|---|
| Custom sofa, sectional, chair, or ottoman | Configuration and material choices can be model-specific and a listed option stays returnable for 30 days while a specially requested size does not. | Product link, preferred layout, material direction, room dimensions, and client target date. |
| Own fabric or leather | Material suitability, quantity, shipping direction, and order timing should be confirmed before purchase or shipment. | Product link, material name, supplier, material sample or details, and date needed. |
| Outdoor property or hospitality setting | Materials, configurations, contract designations, care, and warranty terms vary by brand and selected collection. | Vendor/collection, use setting, quantities, required material/finish, and warranty requirement. |
| Multiple pieces or locations | Product mix, quantities, delivery address, and access can affect the practical order plan. | Schedule, item list, quantities, property location, contacts, and access restrictions. |
| Fixed install window | Production estimates, freight transit, and appointments are different events and should not be collapsed into one assumed date. | Target date, hard versus flexible deadline, delivery address, and selected products. |
What should you send for a custom furniture project quote?
Send the decision-ready information, not a vague category request. Include the product links or model names, quantities, the selected or proposed configuration, material/fabric/finish direction, project address, desired delivery date, and the person responsible for final approval. If the project includes a room schedule or visual board, include it as context. If the purchase is tax exempt, say so at the beginning of the conversation.
For outdoor furniture, name the brand and collection. The material and warranty questions are not interchangeable across Telescope Contract, Castelle, and Lloyd Flanders. For custom upholstery, identify whether you are selecting from the offered materials or asking about customer-supplied fabric or leather.
How are quantities, configurations, materials, and target dates reviewed?
The purpose of the review is to identify the next approval, not to make a generic promise. The team can discuss the selected product, the quantities, the visual/material direction, and the target date. The final response should distinguish between what is listed for the selected product, what needs a vendor confirmation, and what remains a client decision.
For custom upholstery, record the approved layout and material before the piece moves into production. For outdoor furniture, record the collection, material, frame finish, sling or cushion category, tabletop where relevant, and the warranty term that applies to the use setting. Do not treat a brand’s marketing page as a substitute for the final selected product.
How do trade pricing and project pricing work together?
Approved trade members receive professional pricing under the current program. A project with quantities, a defined product schedule, or a non-standard requirement may need a separate conversation before pricing is finalized. Do not assume that a public sale, a trade benefit, a volume discussion, and a custom configuration all use the same pricing treatment. Ask for the selected items and project context so the applicable route can be confirmed.
How should a project team plan custom-order timing?
Think in milestones. First comes product and material approval. Then comes a complete order under the applicable terms. Production timing is an estimate tied to the selected product and the point at which the order can be released. Dispatch, freight transit, and delivery scheduling follow. Made-to-order furniture averages 8-10 weeks to build; pillows and rugs ship in 48-72 hours and wall art in 6-9 working days. Those are build-and-dispatch averages, not contractual delivery dates.
A fixed install date should be shared before ordering. Do not schedule labor, a client move-in, or an opening around a web-page estimate. Ask for current timing once the selected model, material, quantity, and delivery location are known.

Can a project use staged or consolidated delivery?
For multi-unit work, delivery can be staged across a schedule or consolidated into a single appointment, whichever suits the site. This is a planning conversation, not a universal included service. Availability depends on the selected order, freight arrangement, destination, receiving conditions, and current operational scope. Give the team the site’s delivery restrictions, receiving hours, dock/elevator details, contact information, and desired sequence before relying on a delivery plan.
What product information can be provided for a selected model?
For a selected model, request the information that is genuinely available: listed dimensions, visible configuration choices, material/finish direction, applicable warranty route, care guidance, and current order discussion. If an exact detail is not published for that model, the responsible answer is a request for confirmation rather than an invented specification.

When should a project be reviewed for commercial or hospitality use?
Request a review whenever the project requires a commercial warranty, a contract designation, a specific material condition, or an explicit care/warranty requirement. Outdoor vendors do not use the same warranty framework: Telescope Contract warranty is controlled by the selected catalog marker; Castelle publishes distinct commercial terms; Lloyd Flanders publishes hospitality resources but limits its public warranty to residential use. Custom upholstery should not be represented as contract-ready unless the selected model, materials, and project requirement have been reviewed.
