FAQs

What makes STUHF Studio different from a traditional furniture dealership?

Most dealerships start with a catalog and work backward. At STUHF Studio, we start with your design goals. Our team comes from an interior-design background, so every recommendation is driven by function, aesthetics, and budget—not sales quotas. We also stay vendor-neutral, refusing exclusive contracts so we can mix pieces from dozens of lines (or commission custom work) to build a package that truly fits your space.

Are you tied to specific manufacturers, or do you truly source from anywhere?

We have relationships with, but no obligations to, several large and small manufacturers; what you call ‘open line’ options in the furniture industry. In addition to those relationships, we don’t limit ourselves to searching out of the box solutions to provide whatever it is we are looking for.

Will I receive mood boards, finish samples, or 3-D visuals before we place orders?

Yes. For any project that is utilizes us for the selection and specification process, we include digital mood boards to confirm style and palette, numerous samples of all the fabrics and finishes we are proposing, and (as an additional services) can provide 3D views or renderings for key spaces.

Can I hire you for one of your services, or does full-service mean you always provide everything, from start to finish?

Yes—you can engage us for any individual phase you need assistance with; be it planning, specification, or procurement. Many teams bring us in early just to validate square footage and provide preliminary budgets; others ask for a full FF&E spec package and handle procurement on their own. But if you prefer a single point of contact from start to finish, we recommend you hire us to handle it all.

Do you only work in the Kansas City area, or can you support projects nationwide?

Kansas City is home base, but our process allows us to work with companies and individuals across the nation, allowing us to handle projects anywhere in the United States. If the site can accept a truck, we can deliver and install there.
