What happens to your sofa in the workshop
A sofa is not "made" in one move. It goes through seven shops, and each one waits for the previous one.
There are months between payment and delivery, and most often the question is not "when", but "what is happening now". That.
Zero stage, which is not visible: fabric
Fabric is not kept in stock for all two hundred collections. It is ordered after you have confirmed your choice — and it is this stage that most often shifts the deadline, because it depends not on the workshop, but on the supplier.
Therefore, the manager checks the availability before registration, and not after. And for the same reason, the term is counted from the fulfillment of payment conditions and the choice of fabric, and not from the date of the contract.
Seven workshops, one after the other
- —Cut - the fabric is cut to a specific model and a specific size
- —Frames - the base is assembled from plywood and timber, the joints are glued
- —Groove and snake — a metal damping tape is placed in each module
- —Sintepon - layers of filling are laid
- —Cladding — what was cut at the first stage relies on what was assembled
- —Boxes - gluing and assembly of body parts, niches and boxes
- —Packaging
Why is it in series and not in parallel
Each stage waits for the previous one physically: you can't sew a frame that isn't there yet, and you can't cut fabric that hasn't been brought yet. Speeding up one workshop does not mean speeding up the couch.
That is why the term in the contract is not an estimate "by eye", but the sum of stages with a reserve for workload.
Photo before shipment
When ready, we send a photo of the product for preliminary approval. This is the moment when something can still be said - and therefore it is worth looking at these photos carefully.
After approval, the sofa is photographed, disassembled and wrapped in film. After that, it will not be possible to take additional photos in other lighting: the product is wrapped in film and in boxes.
If the deadline is postponed
The most common reason is the fabric from the supplier. The second is the workload of production in the season. The manager reports the shift; the term itself, from which everything is calculated, is fixed in your contract.
