What should a furniture maker's receipt include?
A furniture making receipt confirms the customer paid for a commissioned piece and records what it covered. List the piece, the materials such as solid oak, the dimensions, and any finishing, then show the date, the deposit, and the balance paid. Customers keep it as proof of a custom order and for any future sale.

How the work is charged
Furniture makers usually quote a fixed price per commission covering materials and labour, taking a deposit to start and the balance on completion. A receipt shows the deposit and balance as paid.
Payment terms and deposits
A receipt is given as each payment clears, with the deposit at the start and the balance on collection or delivery. It records each payment, the date, and the method, with a copy for the customer.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number so the receipt matches the original quote. Tax rules vary by country, so confirm what applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
What should a furniture maker receipt include?
Include the piece made, dimensions, timber species and grade, finish applied, delivery or installation details, and total received. For heirloom pieces, clients often keep receipts long term.
How should furniture makers handle deposits?
A 30 to 50 percent deposit at order is standard for bespoke work. Issue a deposit receipt straight away noting the item ordered, agreed price, deposit amount, and expected completion date.
Should furniture makers include a care guide with the receipt?
Not on the receipt itself, but sending a care guide alongside it is good practice. You can add a brief note on the receipt such as 'Timber care guide provided separately'.
