Order Custom Furniture That Perfectly Fits Your Florida Home
Opting to order custom furniture isn't just a luxury—it’s a genuinely practical move for your Central Florida home. As a family-owned business serving our neighbors since 1980, we believe it’s how you finally find that one piece that perfectly fits your space and your life, putting an end to the frustrating hunt for furniture that’s “almost” right.
Why Custom Furniture Is A Smart Choice For Your Home
Have you ever tried to furnish an awkwardly shaped room in your new Lake Mary home? Or maybe you've been on a mission to find a sofa that can actually stand up to the Central Florida sun and humidity without fading. These are real challenges for homeowners around Orlando, and it's exactly where custom furniture makes all the difference.
Instead of settling for a size, color, or quality that doesn't quite work, you get to create something that’s made just for you. Think of it like getting a suit tailored versus buying one off the rack. A custom piece is built to your exact needs, so you know it will look and feel just right in your home.
The True Value of Personalization
When you invest in custom furniture, you’re really investing in your own long-term satisfaction and in lasting durability. This is especially true when you’re working with brands known for incredible craftsmanship. We believe in providing options that aren't just beautiful but are built to be part of your family for a lifetime.
Our passion for quality is why we've chosen to partner with some of the best American manufacturers in the business. You’ll find pieces that offer amazing flexibility and real value, like:
- A perfectly scaled Bassett sectional, known for its American-made quality, configured for the unique layout of your family room.
- The timeless heritage of an heirloom-worthy Mavin dining set, ready to host decades of holiday dinners and family gatherings.
- A Smith Brothers sofa, offering unparalleled custom comfort, covered in your choice of hundreds of family-proof performance fabrics.
This move toward personalization isn’t just something we’re seeing locally. The global customized furniture market is on track to hit USD 33.7 billion by 2026, because people everywhere want designs that are both multifunctional and personal. This just confirms what we’ve known for years: choosing custom is a smart decision for homeowners who want lasting value.
Your Local Partner in Design
As a local, family-owned business serving Central Florida since 1980, we’ve built our reputation at Slone Brothers on two things: quality craftsmanship and dedicated service. We get that the idea to order custom furniture might seem a little overwhelming, which is why our complimentary design services are here to help guide you. The value of custom pieces goes beyond just the furniture; it’s about creating a space that truly reflects how you live, much like exploring different custom home design ideas helps shape a complete vision for your home.
We believe the process should be collaborative and exciting, not stressful. Our Design Team is here to walk you through the options, whether that’s selecting an American Leather sofa bed for visiting family or choosing the perfect finish for a Stickley mission-style bookcase.
Our entire focus is on helping you find a solution that works for your life, your home, and your budget—all while championing the benefits of quality American-made furniture.
Your Complimentary Design Consultation In Our Longwood Showroom
The journey to order custom furniture shouldn't start with a high-pressure sales pitch. It should start with a friendly conversation. Here at Slone Brothers, we believe the best designs are born from collaboration, which is why your experience begins with our expert Design Team right in our Longwood showroom. This complimentary service is the foundation of our entire process, whether you walk in with a detailed Pinterest board or just a vague idea for a room refresh.
Think of this first meeting as a creative workshop. Our real goal is to partner with you to solve your home's unique design puzzles. Maybe you’re trying to figure out the right scale for a huge great room in your Sanford home, or you need to find a family-proof fabric for a new Smith Brothers sofa that’s going to see a lot of love. We’re here to help you navigate those decisions with confidence.
Making the Most of Your Showroom Visit
To get the most out of our time together, we always suggest bringing a few key things with you. A little prep work helps our designers get a crystal-clear picture of your space and what you're hoping to achieve.
- Room Measurements: Even basic dimensions are a huge help. Knowing the locations of windows, doors, and any built-ins gives us an immediate sense of scale.
- Photos of Your Space: A few quick snaps on your phone can tell us so much about your existing decor, the natural light, and the overall feel you're working with.
- Inspiration Images: Have you spotted a look you love online or in a magazine? Bring it in! Your inspiration helps us guide you toward brands like Stickley with its rich heritage or Stressless with its ergonomic innovation.
Our design consultation isn’t about us telling you what to do. It’s about us listening to your needs and showing you what’s possible. We translate your ideas into tangible options from our incredible American-made and Amish-crafted collections.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
During your consultation, our team will walk you through the exciting process of actually seeing what your final piece could look like. We’ll explore materials, touch different fabrics, compare finishes, and help you understand how each choice will look and feel in your home. Our designers are also great at transforming your furniture ideas into realistic renders, so you can feel completely sure of your final selection before anything is built.
Ultimately, this first step is all about demystifying the customization process. We want to show you exactly how our team can bring your vision to life, piece by piece. If you'd like to learn more about what our team offers, you can explore our interior design consultation services before you stop by.

Exploring Your Customization Options And Materials
Once we've finished our initial design chat, we get to dive into the best part—making your vision a reality. This is where the magic really happens. When you order custom furniture with us, you're not just picking something out; you're becoming the designer.
Think of it this way: with a brand like Canadel, you can orchestrate an entire dining room. You get to choose the table's shape and size, pick the perfect chair fabric, and land on a wood finish that ties everything together. The result is a dining set that feels like it was made just for your Orlando-area home, because it was.
Dive Into The Details: Fabrics, Woods, And Finishes
The number of options can feel a little staggering at first, but that's what our Design Team is here for. We help you navigate the sea of choices by focusing on what matters for your lifestyle.
Let’s say you’re a family in Lake Mary with kids and a golden retriever who thinks the sofa is his. You might have your eye on a beautiful Craftmaster sectional, but you're worried about spills and pet hair. We can walk you through hundreds of performance fabrics built to handle exactly that—stain-resistant, durable, and easy to clean, all without sacrificing style.
For a deeper dive into materials, our guide on how to choose upholstery fabric is a fantastic resource.
This is the creative journey we'll take together, from selecting the core materials to adding the final, personal touches.
Each choice layers on the next, letting you build a piece that is one-of-a-kind.
To help you visualize what's possible, here's a breakdown of the customization options available with some of our most trusted brands.

American-Made And Amish-Crafted Quality
For case goods—things like dining tables, bedroom furniture, and consoles—the wood and finish are everything. We’re incredibly proud to partner with some of the finest American-made and Amish-crafted furniture makers, including brands like Simply Amish and Mavin.
When you design a Simply Amish dining table, for instance, you’re not just picking a stain. You get to select the wood species, the shape of the table edge, and the style of the legs. That level of detail is what creates a true heirloom piece. It's the same story with an American Leather sectional; you can map out the perfect configuration for your living room and choose from an incredible selection of top-grain leathers.
Our promise is quality you can genuinely see and feel. It’s in the solid maple of an Amisco bar stool, the hand-rubbed finish on a Stickley bookcase, and the sturdy joinery of a Mavin bedroom set. These are the details that turn furniture into a personal statement.
At Slone Brothers, we believe the ability to order custom furniture means you never have to settle. You get the exact size, style, and materials you’ve been dreaming of, all backed by quality craftsmanship that will last for generations here in your Central Florida home.
From Your Quote To The Creation Of Your Piece
After we've pinned down all the exciting details of your custom design, it's time to map everything out on paper. We’ll put together a clear, itemized quote that shows you exactly where your investment is going.
We believe in total transparency. Whether it's the specific grade of leather for your American Leather sofa or the hand-rubbed finish on that stunning Stickley bookcase, every detail will be clearly listed. You'll know precisely what you're getting.
This is also where our Low Price Promise comes in. As a family that's been part of the Greater Orlando community for over 40 years, our name is everything. We’re committed to delivering great savings and incredible value, ensuring your investment in beautiful, American-made furniture is one you can feel great about.
Understanding Production Timelines
One of the first questions we always get in our Longwood showroom is, "So, how long will it take to arrive?" It’s a great question, and the answer really comes down to the unique craftsmanship behind the brand you’ve selected. When you order custom furniture, it’s not being pulled from a warehouse shelf—it's being built just for you.
True quality takes time.
- Meticulous Hand-Crafting: For heirloom-quality brands like Stickley or our Amish collections from Mavin and Simply Amish, the process is an art form. It involves a tremendous amount of handwork, from wood selection and traditional joinery to multi-step finishing. These pieces are built to last for generations and simply can't be rushed.
- Streamlined American Production: On the other hand, iconic brands like Bassett and Craftmaster have masterfully blended quality with efficiency. Their pieces are still made-to-order right here in the USA, but they've refined their production process to deliver exceptional furniture with shorter lead times.
We’ll always give you a realistic and honest timeline during the quoting stage so you know exactly what to expect. Knowing this upfront is a crucial part of the process and helps you plan accordingly. For a deeper dive into what the entire process looks like, you can read our complete guide on the furniture buying journey.
Making Your Dream Piece More Accessible
We genuinely believe every Central Florida family deserves to fill their home with furniture they absolutely love. If you’ve found the perfect piece but want to make the investment more manageable, we offer flexible financing options.
Our team can walk you through the straightforward application process and help you find a plan that fits comfortably within your budget. It’s a great way to bring home the lasting quality you want without having to compromise on your vision.
Choosing custom furniture means you're part of a major shift in how people shop for their homes. With the global market estimated at USD 54.16 billion in 2025, it’s clear that more and more people are turning away from big-box stores in favor of personalized, high-quality furniture. You can discover more insights about the growing customized furniture market and feel even more confident in your decision to create something truly unique.
Professional Delivery And Caring For Your New Furniture
The wait is almost over. After weeks of anticipation while your one-of-a-kind piece was meticulously crafted, the final—and most exciting—part of your journey when you order custom furniture is watching it arrive at your home. We believe this final step should be just as seamless and professional as the design process itself.
Our commitment to you extends from our showroom floor directly to your living room. We provide a professional, white-glove delivery service across the Greater Orlando area. This isn't a simple curbside drop-off; our dedicated team handles your new furniture with the same care and respect that went into building it.

Caring For Your New Investment
Now that your beautiful new furniture is in place, it’s all about protecting that investment for years to come. A little proper care goes a long way, especially when dealing with the unique demands of the Central Florida climate.
Your custom furniture is built to last, and a little routine care will ensure it remains a beautiful centerpiece in your home for a lifetime. From wood finishes to performance fabrics, we’ll provide you with the guidance you need.
For wood pieces, like a solid Simply Amish dining table, regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is key. It's also smart to avoid placing furniture in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading. Maintaining consistent indoor humidity will help protect the solid wood from expanding or contracting with Florida’s weather swings.
When it comes to upholstered items, like a Smith Brothers sofa with performance fabric, regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment helps remove dust and allergens. If a spill happens, blot it immediately with a clean, white cloth—don't rub! Always refer to the specific cleaning codes provided for your fabric to ensure you use the correct method. Following these simple steps will keep your furniture looking as wonderful as the day it arrived.
Common Questions About Ordering Custom Furniture
Thinking about custom furniture often brings up a few questions. We get it. It’s a big decision, and you want to feel confident before you dive in.
Here in our Longwood showroom, we hear the same great questions from your Central Florida neighbors every day. We’ve gathered the most common ones to help demystify the process and get you excited about creating something truly special for your home.
Is Custom Furniture Much More Expensive?
This is easily the number one question we hear, and the answer usually comes as a pleasant surprise: not necessarily.
While an incredibly intricate, one-of-a-kind piece will naturally carry a higher price tag, many of our custom options are right in line with high-quality, ready-made furniture.
For instance, selecting a custom fabric and specific configuration for a sofa from Bassett or Craftmaster often lands at a similar investment to a comparable in-stock piece. The real difference? You get the exact size, color, and material you’ve been dreaming of, instead of settling for "close enough." Plus, with our Low Price Promise, we guarantee you're getting fantastic value.
How Long Does The Custom Order Process Take?
Patience is a virtue on the custom furniture journey, as true, lasting quality simply can't be rushed. The time it takes to receive your piece will vary based on the manufacturer and the details of your design.
- American-Made Brands: Manufacturers like Bassett and Craftmaster have incredibly efficient systems. You can typically expect a lead time of around 8-16 weeks.
- Amish-Crafted Pieces: The meticulous, hands-on artistry that goes into brands like Simply Amish or Mavin can mean a longer timeline. Each piece is a genuine work of art, built by hand just for you.
During your complimentary design consultation, we’ll give you a clear and realistic timeline based on your specific selections. We believe in total transparency from the very start, so you'll always know exactly what to expect.
What If I Am Not Sure What My Design Style Is?
You are definitely not alone! So many of our clients in the Orlando area come to us feeling a little stuck on how to define their personal style. That’s exactly what our complimentary design service is for.
You don't need to be a design expert—that's our job.
Our experienced designers are masters at asking the right questions about your lifestyle, how you use your space, and what truly makes you feel at home. By walking you through our showroom and showing you beautiful examples from brands like Stickley, Stressless, and American Leather, we can help you uncover the style that feels authentically you. It’s a fun, collaborative process of discovery.
You don’t have to have all the answers before you walk through our doors. We’re here to be your guide and partner, helping you translate a feeling or a general idea into a beautiful, tangible piece of furniture.
Can I See The Materials In Person?
Absolutely! In fact, we wouldn't have it any other way.
We have an extensive design library right here in our Longwood showroom, filled with hundreds of fabric swatches, rich leather samples, gorgeous wood finishes, and all sorts of hardware options. We believe it is absolutely essential to see and feel the materials in person.
It’s how you get to feel the texture of a fabric, see how a wood stain catches the unique Florida light, and become completely confident in every single choice you make for your home.
