Made-to-Order & Pre-Order Furniture

At Sun Republic, every piece of furniture is thoughtfully crafted with care, purpose, and sustainability in mind.

Many of our collections are available on a pre-order or made-to-order basis, a conscious decision that allows us to minimise waste, avoid mass production, and deliver handcrafted furniture designed to last a lifetime.

This page outlines how our production models work, estimated lead times, and what you can expect when ordering your piece.

Understanding Our Production Models

Pre-Order

Pre-order items are not currently in stock but are arriving soon.

  • Reserve your piece before it lands in Australia
  • Estimated dispatch within 8–12 weeks
  • Ideal for popular designs that sell out quickly

This model allows us to import intentionally and reduce excess inventory.

Made-to-Order

Made-to-order pieces are custom-crafted specifically for you.

  • May include less popular or seasonable pieces, size adjustments, finishes, or material selections
  • Estimated lead time: 20–24 weeks
  • Handcrafted by skilled artisans and quality-checked before dispatch

Each piece reflects our commitment to ethical craftsmanship and timeless design.

In-Stock Items

  • Dispatched within 2–4 business days
  • Typically smaller homewares, soft furnishings, or select furniture pieces

Why We Operate This Way

Our production model allows us to:

✔ Reduce overproduction and environmental impact
✔ Support ethical, small-batch artisan communities
✔ Maintain exceptional quality standards
✔ Offer unique, customisable designs

This ensures every Sun Republic piece is intentional, sustainable, and never mass-produced.

Lead Times & Updates

  • Pre-Order: 8–12 weeks
  • Made-to-Order: 20–24 weeks
  • In-Stock: 2–4 business days

Lead times are estimates and may occasionally vary due to artisan availability, freight, or production logistics. We will always keep you informed throughout the process.

Final Sale Policy

All pre-order and made-to-order furniture is considered final sale once your order is confirmed, paid and production has commenced.

As these pieces are crafted specifically for you, they are not eligible for cancellation or refund once production begins. This policy ensures fairness to all customers and protects the time and skill of our artisan partners.
