Custom 05 Sofa/Sectional Model, cont.

An educated consumer is our best customer. The Northern Virginia customer who ordered this chair and ottoman had recently taken a course in antique restoration, in which she learned how furniture needs to be made if it's to last well. She says that one major reason why she bought from us was because, knowing what she knew after that course, she couldn't stand the idea of buying the typical furniture she found in stores.

Shown: 31"-wide Custom 05 chair, made with 36" frame depth and 33" height, with 24"-square ottoman, in one of the many extra-heavy-duty fabrics shown at the fourth link of our "Fabrics" page. Chairs and ottomans can both be made in several other sizes.

Notice how, with one of our ottomans of just the right size, you can have furniture that's like a chaise but with much more flexibility, being able to use the ottoman as a completely separate seat for an extra guest or two, as a coffee table, as a place to set a laptop computer while your legs are on the floor in front, etc., in addition to using it as a leg rest.

Furniture that will blend with the setting, without calling attention to itself. That was the feature that most attracted these customers to our furniture, after they had shopped around extensively in the Washington, D.C. area.

They also liked the fact that the fullness of our optional "puffy" back cushions is adjustable, so that her short frame (with back pain sometimes) could get just the right support.

Shown, two 88" sofas, standard height and depth, with standard seat cushions and puffy back cushions. The fabric is one of the many neutrals, in a wide variety of textures and subdued patterns, that they found in sample books in our showroom. (There's a wide selection also to be found in websites referred to in the "Fabrics" section of this website, and also often in some local fabric stores.)

If you want furniture that will stand up to heavy use, you don't want furniture with frames made of "engineered wood", stapled together, which is most of what you'll find in stores.

Shown here: 31" Custom 05 chair, 55" loveseat, and 79" sofa, in a microsuede from Charlotte fabrics, part of a large order in a fraternity house at Lehigh University.

Matching of patterns: You can be assured of excellent matching of patterns vertically (such as stripes going front-to-back on the seat, which would be matched with the corresponding vertical stripes on the back cushions). Likewise with matching of stripes horizontally on cushions and on outsides of arms. But, because of the way we sew the covers for the arms of this model (and our Virginia model), horizontal matching at the inside seams at both ends of the arms is something that we cannot guarantee. Therefore we discourage ordering of plaids or other fabrics requiring horizontal matching on these two specific models.

Pricing and sizes of the Custom 05 models: When reading these prices, keep in mind the long-term savings that are gained from having furniture with heavy-duty frames and suspensions, very durable cushioning, and covers that are fairly easy and inexpensive to replace.
Base prices:
Sofas: 79" - $2060; 88" - $2280; 97" - $2640.
Loveseats: 55" - $1595; 61" - $1845; 67" - $1965.
Chairs: 31" wide - $1255; 34" wide - $1295; 37" - $1365; 43" - $1535.
These prices include your choice of 10 to 15 base-priced fabrics, the 31" back height (measured floor to top, shown in the pictures above), and the standard 33" depth (shown above). There is a huge selection of high-quality fabrics available within $300 above the base price for a sofa, or within $240 above the base price for a loveseat. The 2"-higher back adds $2 per inch, a 4"-higher back adds $4 per inch, and a 6"-higher back adds. $6 per inch. For a 30" frame depth, add a one-time charge of $200 for non-sectional pieces, regardless of how many are in a complete order (but be aware that most people find the less-deep seat to be much less comfortable), or $350 for one or more sectional sofas); for a 36" frame depth, add 25% to basic price. For a webbing suspension, for softer support, add $1 per inch. (For detailed information about our standard and optional heights, cushion types (including "puffy"), firmnesses, seating dimensions and frame depths, click here ) Toss pillows or arm pillows are $40 per pair, plus $0 - $20 or so for fabric. If you provide your own fabric, the price would be reduced by $70, $55, or $40 for a sofa, loveseat, or chair. Puffy cushioning: Add $2 per iinch of length for back cushions only, or $4 per inch for both seats and back cushions. Special lengths: Add $90 to the price of the next longer length, or (for extra-long) add $350 plus $16 per inch to the longest standard size. Ottomans: For sizes and prices, scroll down the page that you get to by clicking here.

SECTIONAL sofas: Shown below are the standard total lengths that we offer for either side of a two-sided sectional in the Custom 05 model, together with the price for that side of the sectional. An L-shaped sectional requires combining two of those lengths (and prices). Note that the same corner section (and half of the cost of the corner section) is included with each length.

Corner + one seat: 57” - $1765; 61” - $1825; 64”- $1885; 67” - $1945; 73” - $2050;
Corner + two seats:85” - $2090; 91” - $2180; 97” - $2270
Corner + three seats: 109” - $2340; 118” - $2560; 127” - $2780

A three-sided sectional could have any of the above lengths on either outer side of the "U" shape, plus a base side that would be 30" longer than any of the above lengths. Special lengths can be made at moderate additional charges. Call or send email for pricing.

We do not presently charge sales tax on orders shipped via common carrier to points outside Virginia (although legislation is pending that could, at any time, require us to collect other states' sales taxes).

Delivery in the D.C. beltway-Charlottesville-Richmond-Annapolis area would add $65 to $110, packing and shipping to the U.S. west coast would add 25% of the base price, and delivery or shipping to other locations in the contiguous 48 U.S. states and southeastern Canada would be somewhere in between depending on distance from north-central Virginia or northern Virginia.

Discounts /completion times: Our standard completion time, for orders at the list price, is five to six weeks.* If you can wait as much as six months, we deduct 10% off the base price of the furniture. But, to repeat, our standard completion time is five to six weeks. Since our sales levels fluctuate considerably and unpredictably, we offer discounts to customers who don't expect their furniture soon. This provides a backlog of orders to keep our people working during lulls in sales levels; and it allows easier handling of the full-price orders when we have a surge of them.

*Our "normal" completion time is subject to change if we receive a surge of orders, which can happen at any time (but we would make that clear when an order is placed); this tends to happen especially in the last months of the year. If you can plan farther in advance of when you really need the furniture, it's better.
