Hong Kong Bespoke Furniture FAQ: Crafting Your Perfect Home

Vico Home answers your core questions about custom storage solutions and bespoke furniture in Hong Kong. Discover the secrets of space design from a whole new perspective.

Ready-made vs. Bespoke furniture in Hong Kong?

Ready-made furniture comes in standard sizes for immediate use. Bespoke furniture in Hong Kong is tailor-made to your floor plan, maximizing every inch—including sloped beams, bay windows, and low ceilings. It requires a higher investment and a longer lead time, but the fit is perfect for nano flats and luxury apartments alike.

How much is the deposit and what is the payment process?

We use a strict milestone payment system as a reliable custom furniture contractor to protect both parties:

Free Measurement: On-site measurement and initial consultation, plus a dedicated VIP group chat.
Production: 60% deposit upon confirmation of 3D designs and materials to begin production.
Delivery: 30% payment upon arrival of the furniture at your building.
Installation & Acceptance: Final 10% paid only after installation is complete and you are fully satisfied.

When is the best time to start ordering bespoke furniture?

Ideally 1 to 2 months before getting your keys, or right as your renovation begins. Confirming shop drawings early ensures accurate placement of electrical sockets and lighting to avoid re-work.

02. Premium Imported Materials for HK Climate

Solid Wood Particle Board

Highly stable and warp-resistant, making it the top choice for wardrobe carcasses. Combined with our strict edge-banding technique, durability is maximized.

Multi-layer Plywood

Exceptional moisture resistance and screw-holding power. The ultimate choice for moisture-resistant custom cabinets in Hong Kong's humid climate.

Oriented Strand Board (OSB)

Offers 30% higher load-bearing capacity with great moisture resistance. Perfect for fitted wardrobes and unique structural designs.

Hardware & Eco-Standards

We strictly use ultra-low formaldehyde ENF eco-boards for our eco-friendly bespoke furniture Hong Kong, paired with premium imported soft-close hardware.

More FAQs on Materials & Hardware

What are ENF boards?

ENF is one of the strictest formaldehyde emission standards globally (about 1/5th of E1), making it highly recommended for zero formaldehyde custom furniture HK, especially for families with children.

Is solid wood always the best choice?

Solid wood is prone to warping and moisture damage. In Hong Kong's humid climate, plywood or eco-boards with high-quality finishes are usually more practical and durable for bespoke furniture.

Plywood vs. Eco-boards: How to choose?

Plywood is stronger and highly moisture-resistant, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Eco-boards offer great value and are perfect for dry areas like living rooms and fitted bedrooms.

How do you prevent moisture damage?

Use moisture-resistant plywood or aluminum boards for kitchens/bathrooms, combined with PUR edge-banding to protect your custom storage solutions.

How to choose hardware?

Brands like Blum and Hettich offer highly durable hinges and runners. Always ensure the brand and model are specified in the quotation.

What is edge-banding?

It seals the edges of the boards. PUR or laser edge-banding prevents moisture intrusion and peeling. Always ask your contractor which method they use.
