Asked, answered on the record.
What is a furniture procurement service?
A furniture procurement service handles sourcing, selecting, purchasing, and delivering furniture on your behalf. You submit a brief describing your space, style, and budget. DAF sources the pieces from real suppliers, manages contracts, and coordinates delivery. You don't visit showrooms or manage vendors.
How much does DAF charge for furniture procurement?
DAF charges supplier price plus a flat 20% fee on landed cost — no tiers, no markups on freight or duty. The workshop FOB, freight, customs duty, brokerage, insurance, and DAF fee each appear on separate rows of every costed plan. No hidden markups, no commission from suppliers. Payment terms are 50 percent deposit at signature and 50 percent balance at delivery.
Do you furnish commercial spaces like hotels and restaurants?
Yes. DAF's Commercial division handles FF&E procurement for hotels, restaurants, offices, schools, and other commercial spaces. We manage multi-supplier sourcing and coordinate delivery timelines. The fee is a flat 20% on landed cost — no volume discount, no tiered pricing. Minimum engagement typically starts at $35,000 landed.
How long does a DAF procurement project take?
Production runs 8–14 weeks origin to destination, depending on workshop, container slot, and customs lane. Most international rooms land in 12 weeks. The signed plan names the date, the workshop, and the freight terms before anything ships.
What is DAF Lifeware?
Lifeware is DAF's 3–7 year 1:1 piece-exchange program. Founding Enrollment is $499 one-time — not annual, not a subscription. Members can exchange any DAF-procured piece at parity when they refresh rooms, with the original supplier catalog snapshot held as the parity reference. Damage grading and parity matching are handled by DAF ops; approved exchanges route to the current-inventory equivalent at the same tier.
