1. Deep Communication with Designers When Customizing Hotel Furniture
When it comes to the process of customizing hotel furniture, the first step is for the customer to consult in-store and communicate with the designer. The designer will come on-site to take measurements and determine the furniture dimensions and placement. After that, the furniture will be fabricated, and finally, it will be delivered and installed. It’s important for customers to bear in mind that customizing hotel furniture is different from purchasing regular finished products; communication with the manufacturer should go beyond a superficial level and require deeper discussions.
2. Important Points for Acceptance of Custom Hotel Furniture
While custom hotel furniture meets personalized needs, it can also lead to several potential issues. Therefore, the inspection of the furniture during acceptance is essential. Hotel owners should check the quality of the furniture’s exterior and compare it with the quality of the coverings for doors and windows. Look for a smooth and glossy surface finish, ensuring there are no drips, bubbles, wrinkles, or other quality defects. Additionally, check for significant color differences in decorative panels, consistency in patterns, and the presence of corrosion or damage. Inspect the edge banding on various components of engineered wood to ensure it is tight and straight, with no signs of delamination, and confirm that the surfaces are smooth and free from dents.
Furthermore, observe the craftsmanship by examining the assembly sections and the reasonableness and sturdiness of the connections between each component. For furniture with an overall structure, every connection point, including horizontal and vertical joints, must fit tightly with no gaps or looseness. Customers can gently push furniture to check for any movement or squeaks, which would indicate a lack of structural stability.
3. Custom Hotel Furniture Must Align with the Renovation Style
Many people complain that the furniture they customized does not match the style of the room’s decor. To address this, furniture manufacturers advise that the style of hotel furniture should be determined before the renovation commences. Only after establishing this style should the furniture and soft furnishings be customized and purchased. This approach avoids situations where the furniture does not harmonize with the overall decor. Additionally, many choose to customize furniture for individuality while trying to save costs. If the budget is limited, avoid unnecessary designs solely for the sake of uniqueness, as this can lead to waste.
Before production, a one-to-one sample drawing should be created, and a combined explanation of the drawings and material requirements should be provided to the production department.
4. Create a File for Each Project
Each project should have a corresponding folder for unified management of the furniture and on-site drawings. All documents related to issuing, modifying, and archiving should be recorded and managed by a designated individual.
