Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    One end of my bench is curved. How do I measure it?

    The workshop's answer

    Measure from the top of the curve down to the bottom, and also the distance between where the curve starts and where it ends. Write both on your drawing with every other measurement and upload it with the order on the custom-shape listing. If anything is missing, the workshop asks before cutting.

  2. A common question

    Will your linen hold up to kids jumping and rolling on a daybed?

    The workshop's answer

    The workshop describes its linen as durable and hard-wearing. For heavy family use it also suggests its soft, easy-to-clean fabric, or velvet.

  3. A common question

    Could you wrap the foam in feather, about 20 percent, for my window seat?

    The workshop's answer

    Feather-wrapped foam isn't offered, but the foam can be wrapped in Dacron for extra comfort. One trapezoid seat with sides of 96 in and 55 1/2 in (244 and 141 cm), 19 1/4 in (49 cm) deep and 4 in (10 cm) thick, was quoted with a Dacron wrap.
