Cons of Custom Made Sofas

Higher Initial Cost

Custom sofas often come with a higher price tag compared to mass-produced alternatives.

  • Premium pricing for bespoke items

However, it's important to consider the long-term value and durability of a custom piece.

Longer Wait Times

The made-to-order process means you'll need to be patient when waiting for your custom sofa.

Limited Try-Before-You-Buy Options

While you can visit showrooms, you may not be able to test the exact configuration of your custom sofa before purchase.
