Read on to learn more about the special order process and how you can find the right furniture for your home.
Tips for Special Order Furniture: The Basics
Choosing your custom furniture allows you to create a unique, one-of-a-kind look in any room. When selecting special order and custom options (select manufacturers/builders offer custom options-see a sales associate for more details), delivery times vary depending on the manufacturer/Amish builder including but not limited to type of fabric, leather, wood, finish, etc. BILTRITE has many special order options that are available for quick ship. This means you can select from a wide array of materials, styles, finishes, colors and more without having to wait as long. Please check out our quicker ship page on our website for more information and our sales associates will be happy to help show you all the options in our showroom when you come to shop. It’s important to note that if you going to order a non quick ship, special or custom order, please be prepared for a longer wait time due to the high demand for home furnishings, supply chain, labor, and trucking shortages because of repercussions from Covid-19. We will give you a reasonable estimate on how long your order with take the expectation that there could be possible delays and we will even note it on your order, so you don’t forget how long it could possibly take. Be sure to ask about our quick ship furniture options, so you can enjoy your beautiful new furniture sooner.

Special Order Tips to Help You Prepare
One of the most important tips for special order furniture is to make sure you’re prepared in advance. There are several ways you can ensure that your special or custom order will be exactly what you want. Whether you want to find the right item by browsing our in-stock options or prefer to create something custom, planning is the best way to ensure you find the right furnishings for your needs. Start by measuring your room and note where features like windows, doors, fireplaces, and other items are located. Make note of anything unlikely to move, including wall-mounted TVs. Always measure your doorways and entryways since some pieces of furniture are quite large. We want to make sure that your beautiful new furniture will fit! Don’t forget to take a few photos of your space from a variety of angles. Take several shots of the room including pictures of the doorway or entryway. This will help our sales associates/designers get a good feel for how the entire room looks. If you have samples like swatches of paint, carpet, wood, or flooring, bring them in, too. This will help us choose the right wood, fabric, or leather for your new furniture that will be a good match. You can also bring in something that inspires you, like a favorite throw pillow, accent piece, or photo. It’s a great way to help us understand just what inspires you and your style.
