Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
The Wood Reserve Design Center is at 6220 Manatee Ave West, Suite 302, Bradenton, FL 34209. Our building is slightly set back from Manatee Avenue — turn down 63rd St W and look for the third building off Manatee Avenue. Our suite, number 302, is clearly marked with a sign on our unit.
We offer free parking for our clients in the lot in front of the building, along 63rd St W, and behind the building for your convenience.
Are you a showroom?
The Wood Reserve Design Center is not a traditional furniture showroom. It is a planning and consultation space where you can explore wood species, finishes, and customization options with our design expert. All of our furniture is made-to-order by skilled Amish and American artisans off-site, ensuring each piece is unique and tailored to your space.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes! Appointments are required so our team can provide one-on-one guidance and a personalized consultation. This ensures we can dedicate time to your project and help you make the most of your visit.
What should I bring to my appointment?
To get the most out of your consultation, bring any photos, measurements, or inspiration for your space. It’s also helpful to consider your style preferences, desired wood types, finishes, and any functional needs for your furniture.
How long does an appointment last?
Most Design Center consultations last approximately 45–60 minutes, giving you plenty of time to explore options, ask questions, and plan your custom furniture.
Can I order furniture during my appointment?
Absolutely! While orders are not required during the session, we are happy to assist you in making your purchase during your visit. Or, if you prefer, we can help you finalize your selections so you can place your order yourself afterward.
How long does it take to receive custom furniture?
Since all of our furniture is handcrafted to order, production times can vary depending on the piece and level of customization. Most orders are completed within 12–14 weeks, though some can take up to 18 weeks. Once your furniture is finished, shipping typically takes 1–3 weeks, depending on your location and the delivery route.
Every piece is built with care and attention to detail, ensuring that your custom furniture will be beautiful, durable, and truly one-of-a-kind — well worth the wait. We deliver to any of the lower 48 states.
