Rui ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – ….Their expertise in solid hardwood and professional design has impressed us a lot…They showed us around the shop and gave us a variety of options which is excellent customer experience.

While it may be quicker to buy ready-made products, there are many reasons why you should consider purchasing solid wood furniture.

Unique Handmade Furniture Style 

All our pieces will be designed and produced for you and will reflect your distinct style.  With our solid wood furniture, you will have anything you want.

Choose your material from Wood type to finish and combine different styles or create your own piece. Our skilled solid wood furniture makers can turn your dream piece into reality.  If you have the spark of an idea in your mind, we can help it grow into a finished item.

Superior Quality & Detail

At 1BENMU we will make sure to build a product that will last. We are always using only the best high-grade wood materials and finishes, which means that the end product won’t have a limited life-span. You will also have the chance to choose your own materials, such as slabs.

Another aspect of our custom furniture is our focus on detail. The traditional Japanese wood joinery technique we use, such as in this Asian inspired tea table, will give you a unique look.

We will use the wood species that you prefer most and provide you with the kind of finishes to create the visual appeal you intend to achieve.

At 1BENMU, we have the experience, expertise, and resources to source high-quality materials. Check also the top 6 Reasons to Choose Solid Wood Furniture for your bedroom according to CelebMix.

Environmentally Friendly Reclaimed Wood

Wood is a valuable material for us and we always use it with respect. At 1BENMU we make sure that the woodworking process is environmentally friendly.

Our first priority is to track the source of materials. We always monitor the wastes in order to reduce it at a minimum level. We are also a proud member of the Ontario Wood and use tree species that were harvested from sustainably managed forests in Ontario. Ontario Wood is the natural choice for high quality, local and sustainable wood products. 

1BENMU uses more than 75% of tree species that are indigenous to or are commercially grown in Ontario and are harvested from sustainably managed forests in Ontario.

All processes associated with manufacturing take place in facilities located in Ontario.

Before the designing session, it is good to take influence from similar pieces. Start by researching current trends, designs and ideas.

Check design websites and product magazines and always take note of what you like and dislike about the current designs so you can adapt and change them. You can also save some photos and show them to us, in order to make the process more efficient.

Another important part is the measurement of your space. Prior to coming to our store, you may want to take measurements of any existing furniture in the room.

You should also measure the size of the room including measure floor area, ceiling height and doorway width. All these will help us to keep a sense of scale and balance of the room. Check here how to Design Custom Furniture and get some more inside advice by the publishers of Fine Woodworking.

Furniture Design Steps

The first step in our furniture design begins with an appointment. Book your online appointment with one of our Qualified Designers and get started. We serve customers from Scarborough, Toronto, North York and GTA. 

During our first in-store meeting in our design studio in Toronto, our designer will determine the type of furniture you want to design based on your space, needs and requirements.

We can also determine what exactly you want to accomplish and list the challenges, concerns and problems that you want to solve. By knowing your personal style, we will determine easily the best way to express it.

That step is really important, as we will have the chance to review your vision, brainstorm for new ideas. With our experience working with many projects, we can give you suggestions on the best way to bring your vision into life.

The more specific you are, the better the end product you’ll have.

You will also have the opportunity to choose the best wood materials and find the perfect slab for your dream custom furniture.

Finally, designing handmade pieces can be time-consuming, especially when you need a whole walk-in closet room, so we may need to schedule multiple meetings. Understanding your timeline lets you enjoy every step of the process of creating your own unique pieces.

After the design is ready, our furniture makers will proceed to manufacture the piece in our workshop in Scarborough. 

Furniture Designing Tools

In order to turn the concept into reality, we will create scale drawings and sketches to help communicate your vision more effectively. We use traditional and modern ways to generate sample designs, such as card models, sketches and computer-aided design (CAD).

Some additional software packages to prepare a detailed final design are Rhino, AutoCAD, Solidworks and Photoshop.

We always keep informed about design trends and developments. We also research, plan and test various furniture design styles in order to provide you with the best solution.

Jackie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – …..They were also able to quote us a price and manufacture time that was far better than any of the other wood specialty shops we looked at. The resulting counter top was exactly what we wanted and everyone who visits our house compliments the countertop….

1BENMU has all the materials you need for your custom furniture ideas. Choosing the right materials is something that will give you the result that meets all your needs.

Our wood furniture makers in Scarborough have extensive experience working with handmade furniture and will help you to choose the materials that suit your style and of course the budget.

Choose the Slabs

At our studio in Scarborough, we have a huge selection of slabs. We work with different kinds of Solid Hardwoods, reclaimed and salvaged wood, such as walnut, white oak, red oak, maple, ash etc. We can also source additional special species upon request.  

This way we make sure that you are getting only the highest grade and highest quality solid wood that will last longer and is easy to maintain and clean.

Whatever your custom project is, we have a wide range of materials to choose from.

Contact us to book an appointment to choose the slabs that will be used in your next dream custom piece.

Stain Samples

When you choosing your custom made furniture, you have unlimited choices. You can choose not just the wood, the shape or the size, but also the colour.

We have 40 different stain colours to choose from and we can apply them on white oak. This way we want to give you the freedom to go with natural colour or with a darker one. 

Wood Materials can be tricky and overwhelming to choose from. That’s why you have to book an appointment and our custom furniture makers will take care of it and will guide you through a rich selection of slabs, stains, styles etc.

Finally, if your solid wood furniture has scratches on the surface and you just want to get rid of them, check our furniture restoration services.

Alice ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – …This artistic coffee table is incredibly beautiful! We definitely will work more in future time.

Will my custom furniture be expensive?

Not necessarily, although quality custom work is rarely about finding the lowest possible price. 

There is no just one price, as we will draw and produce something just for you. In order to give you an accurate quote, we offer you a FREE consultation session with one of our solid wood furniture makers in Toronto.

Many customers assume that custom made furniture is out of their price range. Custom furniture may be costlier than commercial pieces.

1BENMU – An investment into furniture is an investment that pays back in terms of high-quality, longevity and style.

The reason is our high standards, effort, craftsmanship and excellent outcomes that go into creating bespoke pieces. Check our Reviews for more information and learn how we manage to offer high quality yet reasonably priced pieces.

During the design consultation, our furniture designers will help you spend your budget more wisely.

Not every aspect of your design needs to cost a lot of money. Our designer can help you pick and choose where to invest in quality and where you can skimp a bit in order to work with your budget.

Before we start working on your project we will ALWAYS create a budget first and give you the final price, even if you are ordering a wooden charcuterie tray. This way you will have the control and will avoid planning mistakes and missed opportunities as the project continues.
