How do I create a professional sales letter to announce my services for people looking for custom furniture?

I am planning to do solicitation over the internet to offer my services for new home owners or to those that are planning to remodel their homes. I do custom cabinetry, built-in furniture pieces, custom cabinets. We achieve the look or style the customer prefers using the wood or finish that appeals to them.

Can custom furniture be made smaller after it is finished?

We had a sofa and 2 chairs custom made. They are beautiful but the backs are too tall for our home. We just realized it after they were delivered today. They are upholstered, NOT slipcovered. Can the backs be cut about 4" and reupholstered?


yes but as you know it will cost you a good penny once a custom job is done the maker hates going back and making changes after the finish product. 1. they don't have any more of the upholstery.2. now its more time spent on a finish product. you should check with the maker some wont do it unless they remake the whole thing. good luck.

What is the average profit for custom furniture businesses?

Specifically, for the home-run or self-employed. A question for a school class requires the answer to this question, and it's impossible for me to research accurately thus far! The big companies are difficult enough to get answers from, but the smaller, conglomerate companies is what I need input on the most. Thanks!


The average profit for a small custom furniture business is hard to estimate , i have my own custom trim business and often have custom furniture pieces to make .
Depending on the material that the customer wants the furniture made from , depends on the cost of materials ...
Then you have the time it takes to mill the material and build the furniture , then the time to finish for example stain and lacquerr or paint .
Then you have to deliver andsometimess install the piece .

From my ownexperiencee to keep the cost of the furniture down to a realistic purchase price , after materials and labor are off the total there should be approx 15% profit left over .

I hope this is of use to you .

I built furniture at home, how can I find manifacturers that I could supply for? In Quebec

I am just one man building custom furniture and the internet is not an easy way to find places that hire independent workers. Could somebody please help.


You will have better luck doing the work just like you are and selling it through a local furniture store(mom and pop). Let your reputation create the business for you. A manufacturer will want too much of your money, or they will make what you should be making.

  • A Custom Built Home in the Sky: 200 N. Dearborn in the Loop

    This 3-bedroom unit at 200 N. Dearborn in the Loop was originally two units that were combined into one big 1800 square foot unit.

    Although the building was built in 1989, and was apartments until recently, you might not know it when you’re inside this home.

    Forget the standard cherry cabinets and granite counter tops. The kitchen is completely custom to look like antique furniture.

     The floors are antique wide plank red oak. The 3 bathrooms have unique marble and glass tile.

    The unit has also been reduced by $601,000 since August.

    And the listing says the seller is “motivated.”

    Is this now a deal for this original home?

    Kim Olson at Baird & Warner has the listing. See the pictures here .

    Unit #3801: 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 1800 square feet

    I couldn’t find an original sales price but two units combined Originally listed in August 2009
