What Determines Your Project's Cost
Every design project is different, so Designer's Warehouse prices services around what your project actually uses: receiving and open-box inspection, project storage organized by your sidemark, delivery preparation, and white-glove delivery and installation coordination. Most receipts are confirmed to you within 24 hours, and your items stay tracked on your own digital inventory board from arrival through install day — so you always know what you're paying to store and what's ready to move. Request a rate sheet and we'll walk you through pricing for your project's scope.
Pricing.
Storage pricing is based on the amount of space your items occupy and the length of time they are stored. Because furniture arrives at different times and projects move at different speeds, storage is calculated to reflect actual use rather than a flat or estimated rate.
Projects that require short-term staging, long-term holding, or phased releases may be structured differently depending on volume, duration, and access needs. This approach ensures clients are only paying for the storage they truly use, aligned with their project timeline.
Handling covers the physical movement and management of items as they move through our facility and into your project. This includes activities such as receiving deliveries, inspections, internal moves, staging, and dispatch for delivery or installation.
Handling is structured around the number of touchpoints required and the level of coordination involved. Projects with multiple deliveries, inspections, or phased releases may require additional handling compared to simpler, single-movement workflows. Pricing reflects the work required to keep items organized, protected, and released at the right time.
Installation pricing is based on the scope, complexity, and sequencing of the project rather than a flat or hourly rate. Each installation is evaluated based on how items are accessed, assembled, placed, and coordinated on site.
Factors that influence installation include the number of items, level of assembly required, site conditions, access constraints (stairs, elevators, narrow pathways), and whether the work is completed in a single visit or phased across multiple days.
Projects involving occupied spaces or tight installation windows may also require additional coordination.
Installation is priced to reflect the effort required to complete the work correctly, safely, and in alignment with the project plan—not to rush installations or cut corners.
QUESTION:
How does storage and pricing work at Designer's Warehouse?
ANSWER:
Pricing reflects the services your project uses — receiving, inspection, storage duration, and delivery or installation scope. Items are organized by designer and project/sidemark, and your digital inventory board shows exactly what is in storage at any time. Request a rate sheet for project-specific pricing.
