Buyer questions
- A common question
Could my Hemnes daybed cover with the round backrests be made in linen rather than corduroy?
The workshop's answerYes. It can be made in linen, and you choose the shade from the linen color chart.

- A common question
My corduroy arrived with crushed lines from shipping. Will they go away?
The workshop's answerYes. Packing lines and creases fade once the cushions have fully expanded, which can take a couple of days.

- A common question
Roughly what will a custom bench or window seat cushion cost me?
The workshop's answerIt depends on size, fabric and extras such as tufting or a second piece. Real quotes have run from a short 10 x 39 in pad up to a pair of long cushions at 16.75 x 77 in and 15.5 x 44 in. Send your exact numbers and the fabric you like for a firm figure.
