Bespoke Furniture Pricing Our Guideline.
Firstly we hope you’ve enjoyed browsing our website and right now you’re probably thinking my God this stuff is expensive, why? There’s a good reason why our furniture is expensive but by comparison to the major brands on the market we are actually slightly under priced.
All of the major brands work on a simple business plan, to purchase they’re furniture you are invited to book a home design visit without any clue as to how much the furniture is. This is because the furniture is sold on commission and therefore there is no standard price for any of their products, there’s a minimum price but as a client you will never know what that is.
So you’re halfway through your home visit and everything is going well then you’re hit with the price, shit, wow. This is a great sales tactic, your now thinking this stuff must be good, but then with a couple of special offers and discounts for whatever that price is reduced by about 50%, now you’re getting a bargain. But if you don’t know what the original price of the furniture is how do you know you’re actually getting a bargain which is why these major brands do not put prices on any of their products or website, ummm, interesting.
Now your getting all the extras thrown at ya and that price just keeps going up, but it’s a ‘bargain’. What you are not getting is practical advice on your furniture because you are dealing with a salesman, a little bit like the 1970’s double glazing salesmen, they sell a product, whether you need it or not, the more they sell the more they earn and extras are an easy top up to their wages so don’t get caught in that loop.
On the whole this is usually a very enjoyable experience and you are left with the impression you are not buying an of the shelf product which costs more, supposedly. But before you sign on the dotted line and spend an awful lot of money we can offer some very useful advice, get your new furniture on finance with whomever you’ve decided to go with, by doing this you will get priority over other clients they have.
It’s a strange little quirk, all of the major brands offer finance on their products and by taking it you will get a better service as they have to finance the furniture themselves before they get paid which makes you a priority client and thus get a better service and fitter to fit your furniture to get the job done quicker and without fuss. So make sure you are completely satisfied with the work done and furniture fitted and if you don’t want finance just pay the bill knowing you’ve had a better service than most.
We don’t do finance.
Firstly we’re not big enough & secondly you’ll get better interest rates on a credit card.
No we don’t do any of that faff, we don’t have any salesmen/women so we don’t pay any commission. If you take the average spend on fitted furniture is around £8000.00 and as a salesman for any of the major brands you can expect to earn anywhere between 7.5/10% commission £800.00, not bad for an evenings work. As we don’t have salespeople we put that extra money into the quality of our product and the materials we use as our salesperson is this website which gives you, the client, a much better product and more value for money.
Our product is expensive, it’s not for everyone, but it is top quality and far better than what you can get from the major brands on the market without all the faff and by comparison we are slightly under priced, also some of our furniture simply can’t be reproduced by the major brands making it very exclusive. Our price guide gives you a very good idea of what our furniture will cost, that cost may go slightly up or down depending on your requirements, or if you want us to design you something special, then again you will have a very good idea of it will cost thanks to our price guide and we promise, no commission, just good practical advice.
Yours sincerely B.U.D.
