Sometimes, you can scout around and end up visiting countless stores and websites looking for that one perfect product (it could be a piece of furniture, home décor, jewelry, or any other item) but you just can't find something that would fit your taste and needs.

Maybe you've seen stuff that come close, but the color is off or they're too big. In any case, finding that perfect item can definitely be challenge-and a frustrating one at that.

If you're going through the above-mentioned situation, don't fret. There's a new marketplace in town that aims to give you EXACTLY what you want. Check out CustomMade, an online marketplace for made in the US furniture, home décor, jewelry, and other custom home decorations. As its name clearly states, all the products in the marketplace can be specifically created for each shopper.

How It Works for Shoppers

The process of finding a great custom made product on the site is quick and easy. Simply head to the CustomMade website, and submit the project that you need. If you need help finding ideas first, feel free to browse ongoing and completed projects on the site that can give you inspiration for you own product.

When you know what you want, post the project to the website. Be sure to include specific details about what you're looking to have made. Remember that the more detailed you are, the better results you'll get. You can describe what you need in words, or you can even include a photo or an image to help explain your idea. This could be a sketch or a picture of something similar. CustomMade will also ask you to specify your budget, as well as your desired completion date.

Once you have a posted a project, the professional Makers on the site will be able to submit proposals. Review the proposals that you receive, hire a Maker, and submit your payment through the site. You will be able to track your project's progress on CustomMade. Aside from communicating via email, the Maker that you hired will also be able to send you photos to give you insights on how you're project is moving along.

You will be able to submit feedback when the project is complete. Rate and review the Maker on the CustomMade website to share your experience with others.

How It Works for Makers
