Custom Furniture Dubai: Bespoke Design, Joinery and Manufacturing

Cabinetry is priced per linear metre and loose furniture per piece. Fitted wardrobes run AED 1,200 to 3,500 per linear metre and kitchen cabinetry AED 1,500 to 4,000 per linear metre, both including carcass, doors, hardware and installation. Loose pieces start around AED 3,200 for a bedside table, AED 4,500 for a two-seat sofa, AED 6,000 for a dining table and AED 6,000 for a TV unit, rising to AED 18,000 to 30,000 for large sectionals, stone-topped tables and reception counters. VAT at 5 percent is added on top. We issue a fixed line-by-line quote before anything is cut.

For fitted items, almost always. A built-in wardrobe or kitchen made to your wall costs less per usable litre of storage than a modular system that leaves gaps at the ends and a void above. For loose furniture the comparison is closer: a custom sofa sits somewhere between mid-market retail and imported designer pricing, but you choose the exact dimensions, the frame construction and the foam density rather than accepting what fits on a container. Where custom clearly wins is any awkward space, any non-standard dimension, and anything that has to match something you already own.

Small pieces such as bedside tables and shelving take 1 to 2 weeks. Wardrobes and kitchen cabinetry take 3 to 4 weeks in laminate or melamine and 4 to 5 weeks in lacquer or veneer, because sprayed finishes need curing time between coats. Custom sofas and upholstered beds take 3 to 5 weeks, marble-topped pieces 4 to 6 weeks, and a full apartment or villa package 6 to 10 weeks. We give you a firm date at quotation stage, not a range.

Dubai averages roughly 60 percent relative humidity across the year and coastal areas reach 70 to 90 percent in summer, while air conditioning cycles the same room through a wide temperature swing every day. Moisture-resistant MDF, recognisable by its green or blue core, is the right substrate for cabinet carcasses and painted doors. Marine or BWP-grade plywood goes into kitchens, vanities, ground-floor villas and coastal properties. Solid hardwood is kiln-dried and sealed on every face so it moves evenly. Raw particleboard, unsealed edges and thin PVC wraps are what fail here, and we do not use them.

Yes, and it is a large part of what a joinery workshop is for. Send photographs, the dimensions and, if possible, a small offcut or a spare fitting. We colour-match lacquer to a physical sample, select veneer to match an existing grain and tone, and produce a sample panel for your approval before we put the run into production. Matching an aged finish is never exact, so we will tell you honestly how close we expect to get before you commit.

Both. Some clients arrive with drawings from their own designer, and we manufacture and install to those drawings. Others start with an empty apartment and want the whole thing handled: space planning, a furniture layout, 3D visuals, material selection, manufacture and installation, delivered as one package with one point of contact. Our interior design team handles the front end and our Al Quoz workshop the back end, so you are not coordinating a designer and a joinery yourself.

Yes. We deliver and install across all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Installation is carried out by our own crew rather than a local subcontractor, so the people who assemble your furniture are the people accountable for it. For buildings that require contractor NOCs or insurance documentation, we prepare and submit the paperwork.
