Got any questions? We’re here to help.

Can I visit the workshop during the project?

Yes, absolutely! We love to have clients visit and encourage you to see your piece in progress. We’re also happy to send progress photos.

How do we order from you?

First, we’ll chat on the phone to discuss your needs, and we can usually provide an estimate based on this. Next, either we’ll visit you or welcome you to our workshop to discuss the design further. Once the design and price are agreed, a deposit is required to secure your place in our schedule.

How do you ensure the furniture is built to last?

We use premium, sustainably sourced materials and robust construction methods. Our hinges and drawer runners come with a lifetime guarantee, ensuring your furniture stands the test of time.

How long does it take to make and install my furniture?

This depends on project complexity and our schedule. Typically, installations take 2-4 days for a wardrobe or alcove unit and 5-8 days for a kitchen. Currently, we have a six-month waiting list, so it’s best to start early.

How much does it cost?

We know how confusing it is trying to figure out what bespoke furniture costs so here is our mini bespoke furniture price guide.

At Jim Sharples Furniture, we craft pieces tailored to your vision with premium materials and craftsmanship. Here’s a guide to help see if we fit your budget:

• Kitchens: From £15,000 (cabinetry only)
• Office/Media Wall Storage: From £6,000
• Wardrobes: From £3,500

Prices vary based on design complexity, size, material choice, and features like lighting or drawers. If you have dimensions, inspiration images, or a brief description, we’re happy to provide a rough estimate. With years of experience in bespoke furniture, we offer accurate quotes and are always ready to discuss your needs in detail.

What’s your payment structure?

We require a deposit to begin the project, with further payments due at key stages. This structure will be clearly outlined in your initial quote.

Where is the furniture made?

Your furniture is handcrafted by us in our workshop in Hambrook, north Bristol.
