What Clients Need to Know When Customizing Their Furniture Order

Designing restaurant furniture for hospitality projects is an exciting process, especially when working with a reputable American manufacturer that can bring your creative vision to life. That’s where Modern Line Furniture steps in. We specialize in turning bold design concepts into fully realized commercial seating and table solutions — tailored to your brand, space, and goals.

One of the most popular requests we receive is for custom hospitality furniture, particularly two-tone or multi-color upholstery combinations that bring out a brand's unique personality. Custom resizing of restaurant booths and tables is also common, ensuring each piece fits perfectly within a layout for restaurants, hotels, or public lounges.

While customization is rewarding, it’s important for clients to understand what happens behind the scenes. Every adjustment — whether it's a small size change or an entirely new design — requires:

  • Updating CAD files and manufacturing templates

  • Reprogramming CNC machines for accurate custom cuts

  • Developing new production specs

  • Training staff on the new SKU model for accurate assembly

These steps involve time, labor, and cost before production even begins — but the end result is a fully custom product that reflects your exact vision.

Concept Furniture

Producing custom furniture is a tedious, detail-driven process that requires constant coordination between engineering, production, and upholstery teams. Unlike catalog models — where measurements, cuts, and material specs are already programmed into our system — custom pieces must be manually developed and verified at every step. New templates must be tested, new samples are created for review, and even packaging specifications may need adjustment. It often requires more back-and-forth communication, approvals, and technical precision before the first unit is ever shipped.

There are pros and cons when comparing standard commercial furniture to fully custom designs:

  • Catalog seating and tables are faster to produce because programs and processes already exist in our system.

  • Custom restaurant furniture takes more time, requiring design approval, material testing, and sample review before manufacturing begins.

At Modern Line Furniture, we support both approaches. Whether you're furnishing a high-end hospitality project or need fast, efficient public seating solutions, we’re ready to deliver.

In the end, the choice is yours: go with a faster, cost-effective catalog solution, or invest in custom commercial furniture that sets your brand apart. Either way, we’re here to bring your space to life
