Why people use Klickie
Custom furniture is one of the most personal purchases you can make for your home, and the quality varies enormously. The difference between a great carpenter and a mediocre one is visible in every joint, every finish, every detail. Amsterdam has some exceptional furniture makers and carpenters, but finding them through a Google search is difficult. Klickie has personally seen the work of makers across Amsterdam. We know who builds the most beautiful bespoke wardrobes, who is the go-to person for oak furniture, which makers do the most careful restoration work, and who to call if you want something truly unique. When you message us, describe what you have in mind - the piece, the style, the material, your budget. We match you within 48 hours with someone whose craft genuinely fits your project.
Not all carpenters are furniture makers
Building a flat-pack wardrobe is very different from crafting a bespoke piece from solid oak. The skills, tools, and aesthetic sensibility required are entirely different. The right maker for your project makes all the difference.
Custom means getting it right the first time
Unlike mass-produced furniture, custom pieces cannot be returned. The brief has to be understood perfectly from the start. A good maker asks the right questions before picking up any tools.
Restoration requires a different eye
Restoring a vintage piece requires understanding the original construction, the right materials, and the patience to work with what is already there. This is a very different skill from building new.
Got questions? Just ask
Klickie matches you with a furniture maker by learning what you want made, the style, and your space through a quick WhatsApp conversation. Tell us if you are after a custom dining table, fitted bookshelves, a kitchen island, a wardrobe, a bed, a desk, a media unit, a console, an outdoor bench, a coffee table, restoration of an existing piece, or upcycling a found piece - plus your preferred materials (solid oak, walnut, ash, plywood, MDF, reclaimed), your neighbourhood in Amsterdam, the dimensions, and your budget. Our team has personally met furniture makers across the city, so we know whose work is fine-cabinetry-level, who is best for clean modern Scandi pieces, who works in reclaimed and salvaged wood, who is a sharp upholsterer, and who specialises in restoration of antique and mid-century pieces. Based on what you tell us, we recommend one maker whose style fits.
Klickie is completely free for you, and it always will be. You will never be charged a fee, subscription, or commission for using the service. When we match you with a furniture maker, you arrange directly with them and pay their normal commission or restoration price. Klickie does not add any markup, booking fee, or platform charge. Our business model is built around partnerships with makers who value receiving well-matched clients. This means you get genuinely unbiased recommendations, because our income does not depend on which maker we recommend to you. We believe a recommendation service only works when the person receiving the recommendation can trust it completely. Keeping it free for clients is how we maintain that trust. Whether you want one custom piece or a houseful, the matching process costs you nothing.
Most matches happen within 24 to 48 hours from your first WhatsApp message. The process is fast because we already know the makers personally and we already know how to ask the few questions that matter - piece type, materials, style, dimensions, and your timeline. We do not run an algorithm or wait for makers to bid. We just send your details to the team, who matches you with one maker whose work fits your vision, and you arrange the commission directly with them - usually starting with a free consultation or studio visit. If your first match has a long waitlist and you cannot wait, we will follow up with a second match the same day. Lead times for the actual build vary widely - simple pieces in three to six weeks, fully custom pieces or restorations in two to four months.
Klickie's furniture network in Amsterdam covers commission, restoration, and upcycling: custom dining tables, kitchen islands, fitted and freestanding wardrobes, built-in bookshelves and alcove storage, media units, sideboards, beds and headboards, desks and home-office setups, side tables and coffee tables, dining chairs and benches, kids' furniture, outdoor furniture (oak, iroko, recycled plastic), restoration of antique and mid-century pieces (sanding, re-finishing, structural repair), reupholstery of sofas and chairs, upcycling of salvaged or skip-rescue pieces, and one-off sculptural commissions. We work with makers who use solid hardwoods, reclaimed timber, plywood, veneered MDF, metalwork, and combinations of the above. Tell us the piece, the style, and any constraints, and we will match you with the right maker.
We give you one recommendation because that is how a trusted friend would help you. When you ask someone you trust for a furniture maker, they do not send you a spreadsheet with ten options sorted by rating. They give you one name and tell you why that maker is right for you. That personal conviction is what makes the recommendation valuable. Lists create decision fatigue. You end up scrolling Instagram portfolios, second-guessing yourself, and often choosing based on aesthetics or price rather than fit. Klickie removes that friction entirely. We know the makers personally, we understand what you need from our conversation, and we match the two. If the recommendation does not feel right for any reason, just tell us and we will find someone else. No pressure, no awkwardness, no extra cost.
