My House Amsterdam delivers her products in very high quality. The bookcases and furniture are made in high quality material (solid hardwood). On top of that we use for finishing the items very strong paints and lacquers. Most furniture is handcrafted. A lot of time and care will be given to each specific project.

5- Is the delivery situation important for My House Amsterdam?

Yes, this is important. For example, when we need to deliver a large bookcase on the fourth floor in Amsterdam. This is absolutely possible. Only we must design the parts well in advance so that they can easily come up. This may be by stairs or on a moving elevator. Once up, we build the parts so that is seems like one piece is standing.

6- Why is massive wood better then MDF in a custom made bookcase or bookshelf?

Both materials have positive and negative characteristics. Massive wood is stronger, easier to elaborate, easy to repair and has a very nice outlook. Wood always works which is considered to be a disadvantage, we think it is part of the charm.

MDF is very good for painting and is strong. MDF is easy to work with. The disadvantage is that it will bend in bigger constructions and in its function as bookshelf. Another problem is that MDF absorbs water after which the MDF is hard to re-use. Furthermore MDF deteriorates faster than hardwood and is easier to damage.

7- How long are the delivery times of a bookcase of bookshelf or custom made kitchen?

The period between the ideas till the definite design takes some time. This phase also depends on the decision making period or process of the client. The faster you can decide as a client the faster we will deliver your custom made furniture or kitchen. From the moment we will receive your down payment it will take around 4-6 weeks to deliver your bookcase. For custom made furniture this is a short delivery term.
