Frequently Asked Questions

We design and produce our furniture in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. It allows us to provide original designs with maximum quality control and optimized energy consumption and waste management. Acht Studio’s uniqee, state-of-the-art design studio and wood shop was established in 2019 and is now proudly recognized by Ontario Made, a program that celebrates products manufactured right here in Ontario.

We love working with interior designers and others within the trade – in fact it is the majority of our work. We take pride in bringing their creative visions to life through custom-crafted furniture pieces.

A 10% discount on labour costs is available to all qualified companies within the trade.

We start by listening. Consultation shapes everything. Then sketches become renderings you can see and feel before we build. You’re part of every decision until your furniture is ready to install. Read more about our process

Most projects run between eight and sixteen weeks from consultation to installation. The timeline depends on complexity and material sourcing. We keep you informed at every stage.

Absolutely. Our portfolio shows what’s possible, but every piece begins with your needs. We adapt, refine, and evolve designs to fit your vision and space perfectly.

We would love to meet you and give you a tour of our space. Send us a message or call us to schedule a visit.

We source responsibly from suppliers who share our values. Walnut, white oak, reclaimed wood, and other premium materials form the foundation of our work.  We have access to nearly any wood species imaginable, but we prioritize domestic hardwood options that can be sourced within Ontario for sustainability and environmental responsibility. We prioritize hardwood to ensure the highest quality and durability in every piece.

As a proud partner of Ontario Wood, we are commited to use domestic options first for sustainability and environmental responsibility. Each piece is chosen for durability and character.

We are generally booked out at least 3 months in advance. Project order is based on the order in which we receive the deposit. While we can’t guarantee an exact delivery date as custom furniture is an art – we never truly know how long it may take us to finish – we will keep you updated and notify you when we are about to begin work your project.

Due to the size of most of our work, it generally needs to be transported in pieces. If we are able to deliver the piece, we will assemble on site. For pieces that require shipment, white glove assembly may be available in your location (see shipping for more information).

Most of our installations are in Toronto, Muskoka and across Ontario. We also facilitate installations in the United States (including New York and Miami) and across much of North America.

We offer a Limited Time Warranty.

We recommend cleaning your new pieces with no more than a damp rag. With the finishes we use, 99% of spills or messes will simply wipe right off. Please try to wipe liquid spills as soon as possible.

Over time, the finish may dull and you might want to refinish it. With the finishes we use, it is usually as simple as buffing on a new top coat. Please contact us when you would like to do this so we can recommend the exact product needed for your piece.

Great consideration has gone into our furniture designs to reduce the affects of warping, real wood products are hygroscopic in nature; they will readily absorb and expel moisture from the atmosphere. Ambient changes in temperature and humidity can cause expansion or contraction in wood products. We recommend to maintain a constant 35% – 45% interior humidity level to avoid any unwanted changes in the wood that could lead to cracking, splintering, warping and/or other defects.
