Frequestly asked questions

Can I choose my own paint colour?

Yes. Artis Originals offer you 8 Signature colours to choose from, but you may find that you wish your kitchen dresser to match up to an existing piece or, you may simply want a colour that we don't offer. All you need to do is provide us with your preferred paint details and, if we can source it, we will be happy to use it.

Can I make size alterations to a standard dresser?

You may find that the kitchen dresser you want will not quite fit. Often our customers will request small size alterations to one of our standard pieces. This is not a problem and can usually be done for no extra cost.

How is my kitchen dresser made?

Artis Originals kitchen dressers are made using a front frame construction. Firstly, quality timber is selected and planed to size. The timber is then joined using traditional mortise and tenon joints to make the kitchen dresser frames. Next the frames are dressed and then finished with an elegant staff bead.

The kitchen dresser frames are then attached to the carcasses. Now the doors, also mortise and tenoned are individually fit and swung on brass butt hinges. After this the kitchen dresser drawers are made from hand picked red wood. The timber is planed to size and dovetail jointed. The drawers are lacquered and then mounted on soft- close runners. The final process involves two coats of primer being applied to the whole kitchen dresser before being painted in the colour of your choice. Finally the kitchen dresser is finished with a hard wearing clear matt varnish.
