Commissioning furniture

domestic_goddess

Hi

I want a very arrow console table for my new house but I am having touble finding one the right size so I thought I would look into commissioning a local carpenter to make one for me.

I am not looking for anything too swish just simple and basic. As long as it fits in the gap I have and is no more than 27 cm deep.

Does anyone have any ideas how to go about this, I have googled it and end up with high end designers charging over £700:eek:

Yes my local pine shop make a oak coffee table for me a few months ago for £210, it took 3-4 weeks but happy with the furniture and its English oak so I been told rather than the cheap Chinese imports you can get
