Frequently asked questions
Buying, delivery, wood, repairs, selling your furniture and custom orders, answered plainly.
General
What makes Chinioti furniture different from ordinary furniture?
Chinioti furniture is handcrafted in Chiniot, Punjab — a city famed for centuries-old woodworking traditions. It is usually made from solid wood, mainly sheesham (rosewood), and hand-carved by skilled artisans, making it stronger and more detailed than mass-produced MDF or particleboard furniture.

Do you deliver Chinioti furniture in Islamabad and Rawalpindi?
Yes. We offer delivery and professional assembly across Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Bahria Town, DHA, Wah Cantt, Taxila, and Gujar Khan. Delivery is scheduled once your piece is ready; made-to-order pieces take longer, and the delivery date and any delivery charge are confirmed with your quote.
How much does Chinioti furniture cost in Islamabad?
Prices depend on the piece, its size, wood grade, finish and carving. Listed pieces show their current price on our furniture pages; made-to-order and custom pieces are quoted, and the price is agreed with you before you order.
Is sheesham wood good for Islamabad's climate?
Yes, sheesham (rosewood) is dense and naturally resistant to warping and pests, making it well suited to the humidity swings in Islamabad and Rawalpindi when properly polished and maintained.

Can I customize the size, wood finish, or fabric of a piece?
Yes, most of our furniture can be customized in size, wood polish (natural, walnut, mahogany), and — for sofas — fabric or leather color. Contact us on WhatsApp with your requirements for a custom quote.

Do you offer a warranty on your furniture?
Yes, all solid wood furniture comes with a 1-year structural warranty covering joints and frame integrity under normal household use.

Repair & Care
All Repair & Care servicesIs it worth repairing old furniture?
For solid sheesham or tali, usually yes. The wood outlasts the joints and polish, so a repair costs a fraction of a new piece. We tell you honestly if a piece is not worth it.

Can you repair at my home?
Small repairs — loose joints, hinges, runners, touch-ups — are done on site. Structural work comes to the workshop and we handle pickup and return.

How long does re-polishing take?
A single piece usually takes 3 to 5 working days in the workshop. A full room set is quoted with a timeline before we start.
More: Polish & Restoration
Can you match my other furniture?
Yes. We test the shade on a hidden area and show you before polishing the whole piece.

What furniture do you buy?

More: We Buy Your Furniture
How is the price worked out?
By wood type, condition, design and what the repair will cost us. We explain the number rather than just quoting it.
More: We Buy Your Furniture
Can you inspect at the seller's place?
Yes. Share the location and we meet you there. The report is written for you, not the seller.
More: Doorstep Inspection
Do I have to buy from you afterwards?
No. The inspection is a stand-alone service.

Design
All Design servicesCan you copy a design from a photo?
Yes. We adapt it to your dimensions and tell you honestly where a detail needs changing to be strong in solid wood.
More: Custom Design
How long does custom furniture take?
Typically 3 to 6 weeks depending on size and carving. The timeline is confirmed with the price.
More: Custom Design
Are trending designs more expensive?
Not usually. Many modern designs have less carving, which can make them cheaper than traditional pieces.

Craft, Machine Work & Parts
All Craft, Machine Work & Parts servicesIs the carving done by hand?

Send a photo and measurement of a surviving part and we make or source a match.
