For custom furniture, the material specification often matters more than the maker\u2019s labour charge. Ask what board, timber, foam, fabric, hardware and finishing are included.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two pieces of furniture can look almost identical in a photograph and still have very different prices. Board thickness, timber, foam density, hardware, fabric and finishing all matter.<\/p>\n

There is no single official Nigerian price list for this service. The figures below are planning ranges compiled from 2026 Nigerian market and labour-cost references. They are not Worker.NG prices, and a real quote can be higher or lower after the job is inspected.<\/p>\n

Ask for a simple specification<\/h2>\n

A good furniture quote should identify dimensions, main material, foam or filling, fabric or finish, hardware and delivery.<\/p>\n

A cheaper sofa may use cheaper foam or frame materials<\/h2>\n

Two sofas of the same size can have very different durability. Price comparison is only useful after the specification is comparable.<\/p>\n

Do not pay for a design you have not agreed<\/h2>\n

For custom pieces, confirm the design, dimensions and finish before production starts. Changes after production can become expensive.<\/p>\n

Ask for the specification, not just the price<\/h2>\n

A price becomes useful when you know what is being supplied. Ask for measurements, materials, quantities, finish and labour. A cheaper number can stop being cheaper once missing items are added.<\/p>\n

How location affects the price<\/h2>\n

Prices can differ between Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano and smaller cities. Even within one city, travel distance, neighbourhood, access and the type of property can affect what a professional charges. Treat city-level ranges as a guide, not a tariff.<\/p>\n

Before you agree to the job<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Ask exactly what the quote covers.<\/li>\n
  2. Separate labour from materials where practical.<\/li>\n
  3. Confirm the measurements, quantities or number of service points.<\/li>\n
  4. Ask about additional charges before work begins.<\/li>\n
  5. For non-emergency work, compare at least two like-for-like quotes.<\/li>\n
  6. Agree on what happens if the scope changes after work starts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
