John from London wanted a chess table for his study. What he got transformed the entire room. Here is his story.
The Challenge
John's study had awkward dimensions. Standard tables either overwhelmed the space or looked insignificant. He needed something specific.
The Consultation
We discussed room measurements, existing furniture, and John's playing habits. He wanted serious functionality in an elegant package. We designed a custom pedestal chess table scaled precisely for his 10x12 foot study.
The Design Process
Three design rounds refined proportions and details. We matched the sheesham wood tone to his existing bookshelf. Custom carving incorporated his family crest subtly into the pedestal.
Production and Delivery
Twelve weeks from approval to delivery. John received progress photos at key stages. White-glove delivery included placement and setup.
The Transformation
The table became the room's anchor. John reports playing chess three times weekly now versus monthly before. The study evolved from storage space to favorite room.
"I thought I was buying a chess table. I actually got a room transformation and a new hobby I use daily." - John M., London
