FAQs
Interior Design Information
Do You Offer Interior Design Services?
Yes, if you need your space designed we offer start to finish excellence.
What is the Interior Design Process?
The process starts with a free phone consult. The next step is the in-person consult which brings Bo to your space. This part is not free. Once you and Bo have decided what the design will be we draw up the plans for your approval. Once approved, we then move forward with building the pieces for your space. When the pieces are complete, we will then install in your space. This can take 1-3 days depending on the scope of work and size of the project.
How Much Does It Cost?
Prices vary depending on the size of the project and the scope of work.
Do You Do Interior Design Projects Outside Detroit?
Yes! We can design globally. We take pride in being able to accommodate all styles and aesthetics. You can gaze at our work here
Product Information
What Type of Wood Do You Use?
We use reclaimed wood that has been salvaged from buildings in and around Detroit, MI. The wood has imperfections, that's what makes it so beautiful. There will be nicks and dings due to the fact that it has been repurposed.
How Will the Wood Change Over Time?
Over time wood acclimates to its new environment, expect to see slight changes in the wood. Small splits and slight warping are natural and inherent to the materials we use. Stain colors tend to deepen and darken slightly over time.
Do You Fill Holes and Cracks in the Wood?
Yes, we fill any large splits and some holes with an epoxy finish. This preserves the look of the natural wood but makes it easier for cleaning and maintenance.
Care and Maintenance
Care and MaintenanceWhat's the Best Way To Care For My New Piece?
Wipe up any spills, use coasters under your glasses and don't put anything too hot directly on the wood. Apply a wood conditioner or wax to the surface yearly.
What Products Should I Use to Clean the Wood?
We recommend using Method Good For Wood (find it here) for cleaning with a soft cloth or microfiber cloth. For polishing, we recommend Daddy Vans all Natural beeswax (find it here) with a microfiber cloth or non-linty soft cloth.
Will Water Rings Be an Issue?
Most likely not, but we recommend that you use coasters to be sure. We use many coats of protective sealers and varnishes to protect the wood. However, we cannot guarantee that you won't get water rings over time.
How Does the Process Work?
Since each piece is handcrafted it does take some time to produce it. Once you place your order, either in the showroom Throwbacks Home or online, you will get confirmation from our website that we have received your order. From here we put it straight away onto our production schedule. Each piece takes about 6-8 weeks. We may confer with you on finishes during the production process. For the shipping and delivery process see below
Can you Deliver in Less Than 6-8 Weeks?
it is possible, however, since our pieces are made by skilled craftspeople the process is made with a discerning eye. therefore it takes a little longer than a mass-manufactured piece. It may also take extra time to track down the materials needed for some pieces.
Do You Do Custom Work?
Typically we only customize if we are designing a space and need to create a piece that fit that space. For the pieces on our website, we can offer some customization but it is limited to width and length.
