    Default Customizing a Hancock & Moore Piece

    It's been said many times that, "If you can dream it, H&M can build it." OK, but what I want to know is, what kinds of customizations can be done for a modest cost? Of course "modest" is subjective, so I'm just looking for generalizations. So for the sake of argument, let's say that "modest" is somewhere around the same cost as going up one leather grade. Ish. Give or take.

    For example: Could I put different legs on it? Could I get it without the castors that are shown in the picture? What about adding or subtracting quilting or tufting? What if it's just on one cushion? How about adding a gimp? There must be lots that I haven't thought of, too.

    Mod costs are all over the board.

    Legs are usually not too bad - sometimes no charge, sometimes up to $ 200. Depends on the model and the leg. Not all can interchange.

    Quilting can be done on most any piece.

    Add tufting is harder, varies by the item.

    Gimp can go on most anything.

    The costly mods are frame ones, where depth or length is increased. And motion furniture can only have very minor frame mods if any at all.

    Thanks Duane. I don't want to mod any frames; I just want to have some fun.
