Custom furniture making Sandton

Almost anything: dining tables, benches, desks, bed frames, headboards, bookcases, kitchen islands, vanities and bar counters. Custom work makes the most sense where standard sizes do not fit the space or you want a specific timber and finish.

A solid timber dining table typically starts around R8,000 to R15,000 in Sandton depending on size and timber, with desks and benches from a few thousand rand. Pine and plywood are the most affordable; oak, ash and hardwoods cost more.

Pine is affordable and easy to work but soft. Saligna and kiaat are popular local hardwoods with good durability and grain. Oak and ash are imported and priced higher. For painted pieces, birch plywood and MDF give a stable, smooth result.

From a confirmed design, allow two to six weeks depending on the maker's workload and the complexity. Timber needs to be sourced, machined, assembled and finished, and finishes need curing time before delivery.

A sketch, reference photos and dimensions are enough. A good maker will refine the design with you, advise on joinery and timber, and confirm a drawing or spec before starting so there are no surprises.
