As we approach 2026, the property development market in Bali continues to boom. Whether you are building a private villa in Canggu, renovating a boutique hotel in Ubud, or simply looking to furnish your dream home, one question always comes up first: How much does it cost?
Understanding the cost of custom furniture in Bali can be tricky. Prices vary wildly between art shops in Seminyak and direct manufacturers. In this guide, Bali Best Buy Furniture breaks down the pricing structure for 2026 to help you budget effectively and get the best value for your investment.
Why Choose Custom Over Retail in 2026?
Before we dive into the numbers, it is essential to understand value. Buying from a retail store means you are paying for their showroom rent, staff salaries, and marketing markups.
By working directly with a manufacturer like Bali Best Buy Furniture, you pay for the materials and craftsmanship. This approach not only saves you 20-30% on your budget but also gives you the freedom to request specific sizes and designs that fit your space perfectly.

Key Factors That Influence Furniture Prices
In 2026, the price of custom furniture is determined by three main factors. Understanding these will help you make smart decisions.
1. Wood Grade & Material Selection
Not all wood is created equal. The raw material takes up the largest chunk of your production cost.
- Grade A Teak (TPK Perhutani): The gold standard. It has high oil content (termite resistant) and uniform golden color. It is the most expensive option but lasts a lifetime.
- Grade B/C Teak: Contains more white sapwood. It is more affordable and great for rustic or painted designs.
- Suar Wood (Trembesi): Excellent for massive “live edge” dining tables. It is generally more affordable than Teak but requires proper kiln-drying.
2. Moisture Content (MC) & Kiln Drying
This is where many “cheap” furniture makers cut corners. To ensure your furniture does not crack or warp—especially if you plan to ship it to a 4-season country—the wood must be oven-dried (Kiln Dried) to a specific Moisture Content (MC) level (usually 10-12%). Proper kiln drying adds to the production time and cost, but it guarantees quality.
3. Complexity of Design
A minimalist Scandinavian chair is faster to produce than a classic Jepara-style chair with intricate hand carvings. Labor hours are a significant part of the custom furniture cost.
Estimated Price Range Guide (2026 Outlook)
While prices fluctuate based on current timber costs, here is a general estimation for high-quality custom furniture produced in Bali (Factory Direct Prices):
| Furniture Item | Material Spec | Estimated Price Range (USD) |
| Dining Chair | Solid Teak + Rattan | $65 – $130 / unit |
| Dining Table (2m) | Solid Suar (Live Edge) | $450 – $800 / unit |
| Dining Table (2m) | Solid Teak (Grade A) | $600 – $1,200 / unit |
| Bed Frame (Queen) | Teak / Mahogany | $400 – $900 / unit |
| Kitchen Set | Plywood + HPL / Teak | $150 – $350 / linear meter |
How to Budget for Your Villa Project
If you are furnishing a complete villa, bulk ordering is the secret to saving money.
Plan 3-4 Months Ahead
Custom production takes time. High-quality furniture cannot be rushed. Allow 4-8 weeks for production and additional time for quality control. Rushing often leads to higher costs or compromised quality.
Combine Shipping (LCL vs. FCL)
If you are an international buyer, shipping a Full Container Load (FCL) is far more economical per cubic meter than Less than Container Load (LCL). Our team at Bali Best Buy can assist with secure export packaging and cargo arrangements.
