Our Cosmetic Standards
Before Placing Your Order With JCF:
At Johnson Custom Furniture, we take pride in creating one-of-a-kind
furniture pieces using solid wood, crafted by hand, and finished with
care.
Because our furniture is handmade and built from real wood, no two
pieces are ever exactly alike. We embrace the natural variations and
imperfections of real wood — they are part of what makes each piece special and uniquely yours.
Before placing your order, please review the following standards to better understand what to expect:
🔹 Wood & Stain Variations
Every piece of wood has its own grain pattern and tone, so color and
grain differences are normal and expected. These natural traits mean no stain will look EXACTLY the same from one piece to the next — even when using the same color.
🔹 Stain Matching
We cannot match stain colors based on photos. If you want a specific
stain, you'll need to provide both the stain and the type of wood it's
intended for. Keep in mind, grain patterns and wood species affect how a stain looks, so exact matches aren't guaranteed. Our skilled team MAY BE able to closely match stains depending on many factors, but we cannot guarantee this. JCF is not responsible for a custom stain match attempt that does not meet the clients liking. It is recommended to purchase a sample prior to purchasing your piece of furniture.
🔹 Knots & Cracks
Real, hardwood lumber often has knots, checks, cracks, etc. We fill
all of these with either black or clear epoxy. This provides a smooth surface and reinforces the pieces structurally. The color of the epoxy used is up to our craftsman's discretion, although a custom color can be requested.
🔹 General Variations in Furniture
Handcrafted furniture comes with character—think small marks, texture
changes, and other quirks that add to its charm. Because of the handmade process, dimensions of your piece can vary slightly (up to 1"). Standard heights that we build to are as follows:
Table Height: 28.5-31 inches
Seating Height: 17-19 inches
Bench Seat Depth: 15-18 inches
🔹 Solid Wood Movement
Wood is a natural material that expands and contracts with
temperature and humidity. This may cause small gaps in tabletops or
slight shifting over time. These changes are a normal part of solid wood furniture and do not affect the structural integrity.
We love the unique look and feel of real, handcrafted wood
furniture — if this is not the feel you're after, JCF may
not be your ideal solution!
⚠️ Lead Times
Lead times are estimates only!!! While we work hard to meet timelines,
high demand or delays in production can cause some orders to arrive
earlier or later than expected. We always prioritize quality over speed
and cannot promise exact delivery dates. If you're ordering for a
special event or deadline, please plan ahead accordingly. However, if you have a specific need, please voice that to us and we will do our best to work with you.
By placing an order, the customer agrees to these cosmetic
standards presented as well as any and all other terms of Johnson Custom Furniture.
For electronic customers, by placing an order with Johnson Custom Furnitur, you hereby agree to these standards, terms, and conditions.
