How many hours does it take to build a table?

A dining table usually takes around 18 hours or so to construct and something like a Bellbrae buffet can take 35 hours to make! These hours are usually spread over 1-2 weeks as time is needed for the glue to set or the finish to cure before the next step in the production can happen.

How do you work out lead time?

Our lead time is basically a queue. Once we have received a deposit from a client, this then secures their spot at the end of the queue. Once we send off your deposit invoice, we pencil your spot in the queue however if your deposit hasn't been received a week following the due date, then we may move you back if other clients who had been penciled in after you have paid their deposit.

Lead time is an estimate only

Our lead time is just a guide rather than being exact. The date we give you is an estimated date of completion rather than guaranteed. Many things can happen that can put us behind in our production schedule such as illness, unscheduled staff holidays and projects taking a lot longer than originally estimated. With our usual portfolio designs such as vanities and dining tables, we have made them so many times that we know how long they will take to build. For one off custom pieces and large inbuilt projects however, we can only guess how long they will take to make which can throw out out production schedule.
