Mass Produced VS Custom Made Furniture

As people, we’re individuals, and the purchases we make, from the clothing in our closets to the food in our fridges, are a product and reflection of our unique experience, and the character we’ve developed as a result.

Why should our homes and the items inside be different?

At Parker Howley, we manufacture custom made furniture in Yorkshire UK, offering customers an alternative to the mass produced pieces found in big-box retailers, and enabling you to create a home as unique as you are.

5 Reasons to Choose Custom Made Furniture Over Mass Produced Items

1. Designs Personalised to Your Unique Taste

When it comes to furniture shopping, there’s nothing quite as uninspiring as standing before a limited selection of ten a penny pieces of furniture spanning either flavour of the month or generic designs you’ve seen many times before, perhaps even in the homes of your friends and family.

Custom made furniture like ours enables you to take control of your home’s interior design, and create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that help your home to reflect you and your sensibilities.

Whether you’re seeking a vanity unit or tall boy storage unit for your bathroom, browsing bedside tables for your bedroom, or shopping for a new kitchen island, we offer a wide selection of designs in each product category, which serve as a starting point for you to personalise further to create the perfect piece for your home.

Personalise your favourite vanity unit, bedside table or kitchen island design to have a plain or painted finish, select its colour from 48 Rubio Monocoat stains to help give your piece of custom made furniture the ultimate aesthetic impact, and select the perfect handles from our extensive range. Our vanity units can be tailored further by selecting a stunning basin and taps from our huge range of models from the industry’s top luxury brands, and both our vanity units and bedside tables can be made as freestanding or wall-mounted models.

As bespoke furniture specialists, we can also work with you to bring your favourite designs to life, wherever they may be from.

2. Storage Tailored to the Needs of You and Your Family

Ever experienced the disappointment of returning home with a purchase to find that it’s only “almost perfect”?

Most mass produced storage units and accessories are often not only poor quality, but are produced to serve a generalised audience, and as a result, regularly fail to solve our storage problems and meet our individual needs.

At Parker Howley, it’s not only the visual elements of our custom made furniture that can be tailored (as we explore in the point above), the inside of our units can also be personalised to meet the needs of you and your family.

Whether you’re shopping for a tall boy storage unit for your bathroom or bedroom, a vanity unit for your bathroom, or a kitchen island, we work with you to identify your unique storage requirements, and personalise the space inside your bespoke piece to accommodate your needs, no matter how specific they may be.

We blend beauty and practicality to create custom made furniture that is perfectly personalised to you, and guaranteed to provide you with decades of enjoyment.

3. Custom Made Furniture Offers Unparalleled Quality

You’ve been there – stood in a big box retailer, faced with the uninspiring mass produced furniture we spoke about before – when out of a sense of hopelessness you concede to at least inspect the items, finding them to be unsatisfyingly unsturdy.

Our custom made furniture is made from premium materials, such as the American tulipwood we use to manufacture furniture featuring a painted finish, the prime European white oak for pieces with a plain wood finish, the Hidrofugo and oak veneer used for end panels, and the huge range of handles we offer from market-leading luxury brands.

At Parker Howley, our skilled joiners only use kiln-dried timber to prevent warping, and hand select the materials used, checking to ensure there are no bends, splits, or imperfections.

4. Sustainable

The future is sustainable, and whether it’s fast fashion or mass produced furniture, we as consumers are looking for ways to spend our money on more sustainable products that lessen the mark we make on our planet.

In fact, the demand for sustainable furniture is not only on the rise, but set to double by 2027.

We’re the UK’s leading manufacturer of sustainable vanity units and our custom made furniture is ethically and fairly manufactured from natural sustainable woods that have not been chemically treated. We also work with UK-based materials suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint of our furniture.

5. Made in the UK

At Parker Howley, all our custom made furniture is made by qualified and skilled craftspeople in our workshop in Mirfield, Yorkshire.

We’re committed to delivering British-made products made from UK-sourced materials to help boost the economy and support local suppliers.

The quality of our British-made products are guaranteed, adhering to strict UK manufacturing regulations, and each piece of furniture we make, like all British-made products, pass stringent safety tests, and meet the most exacting standards.

So, go on, buy British with Parker Howley.
