White Rock Maple

Imagine this scenario: You’ve been waiting anxiously for this day - the day that your custom hardwood table is being delivered. You can’t wait to see how it fits in your space. The delivery team arrives and … uh oh … the table can’t fit in the elevator, or through the door, or up the stairs. Now what do you do? 

If only you could rewind time.

That’s actually how we like to deal with it. It requires some forethought and planning. Sometimes large tables need to be done as two pieces. Sometimes we need to see if the elevator ceiling can be lifted. Sometimes a crane is needed to bring a table in through a window.

As part of the design process, it’s important to consider how your table is going to get into your space. Consider the doors it will need to go through. How wide are they? Are there corners to navigate? If getting the table into the space requires taking it up or down stairs, it’s useful to look at ceiling clearance and how many stairs. 

Getting your custom table designed, built and to your front door are three important steps to creating the space you’re imagining. The last step is to get it successfully into your space. Talk to us about what your space looks like so we can make sure your delivery day lives up to what you’re anticipating.

Where possible we like to deliver furniture ourselves instead of handing it off to other carriers as this helps us ensure its safe arrival at its new home and we love the opportunity to meet you. We care about the pieces we build and it makes us happy to see them set up and ready to use in your space. Check out these highlights from a recent delivery trip that may provide some inspiration for your project.

Ted and I had a chance to walk through the experience of figuring out the right table and chairs for our home last fall. So why did we choose Aubrey chairs?
