If you wish to make special adjustments to your form.bar PURE design, it may require an upgrade, which may result in a different price structure due to production.
The price is calculated individually based on your design, the current market price of the chosen material and the production effort. All work steps such as the milling of the components or the finishing of the surfaces are included in the price calculation. The price is adjusted in real time in the 3D configurator with every change. So you really only pay for what you have configured. At form.bar PURE, production processes are so optimized, that there are enormous cost savings, which we pass on to you.
In the configurator, you can adjust the side overhangs of your furniture to your needs. There are two ways to do this:
1. In the detail mode of the "Free form" step, you can customize your overhangs as part of the shape algorithm.
Here you can also use advanced configuration options, such as rounding the sides, bending them at a 90° angle or processing all lateral shape points simultaneously and uniformly.
The minimum overhang is 4 cm. In the PURE configurator, the overhangs remain up to a minimum of 8 cm due to the design.
2. In the step (horizontal and vertical) recesses , you can select different options for all parts of your furniture, including the side overhangs: No overhang, Round overhang & Half-round overhang.
Cable cut-outs can be made in rear walls, floors and walls. They are always 4 x 10 cm in size. You can find the configuration option in the Recesses and Equipment (back panels) steps.
In the 3D configurator, you can remove or add sections from floors and walls in the "Recesses" step. To do this, simply click on the icons displayed in the 3D view and select one of the configuration options for cut-outs. If you are in the configurator, upgrade to be able to use this function.
If you have created a design via the category "TV furniture" or via the TV furniture configurator, you will automatically find a 10 x 4 cm (W x H) cutout in the bottom center of each back panel. With form.bar PURE designs, the cable cutout is not automatically present. If you want an additional cutout or a different size, contact our design team. Our friendly team will be happy to take care of this special customization.
You can conveniently note the change request in your order in the order comment or send us a sketch by e-mail in advance.

In the 3D configurator, you can add doors, flaps and drawers in the "Fronts" step. The stop side can also be adjusted. Which type of front is possible depends on the dimensions of the respective compartment. With form.bar PURE, you can add doors directly by column or row by row. To add or remove fronts simply click on the +/- icons in the 3D view. If you have any difficulties, just contact our design team.

The birch veneer laminated wood (multiplex) is our premium material. It is particularly characterized by its extreme robustness, stability and durability.

We recommend the birch veneer laminated wood especially for larger furniture and in places where the furniture is exposed to increased humidity.

Le conseil et la mise en œuvre ont été excellents – notre interlocuteur mérite tout particulièrement une médaille pour sa patience et son amabilité. J'ai mal pris les mesures, j'ai changé plusieurs fois d'avis et je l'ai probablement rendu fou... mais il est resté aimable, créatif et nous a aidés à créer des étagères plus belles que tout ce que nous aurions pu imaginer. Je le recommande sans réserve, même aux perfectionnistes chaotiques !
Apprendre encore plusComme pour ma première commande pour notre mur TV, une bibliothèque et un séparateur de pièce, la deuxième commande pour une autre étagère a été parfaitement réalisée, exactement comme je l'avais imaginé !
Apprendre encore plusComme toujours, tout était parfait. Nous avons déjà hâte de commencer notre prochain projet avec formbar. :-)
Apprendre encore plusUne étagère magnifique et très originale, d'excellente qualité, un service formidable, tout est parfait. Je la recommande à 100 %.
Apprendre encore plusDe superbes meubles personnalisés. Parfaitement adaptés à mon espace. Je trouve que le délai de livraison de 6 semaines est raisonnable, car ils ont été fabriqués spécialement pour moi. Tout est parfait !
Apprendre encore plusJ'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à créer l'étagère sur l'ordinateur. La communication avec form.bar, puis avec le menuisier, s'est déroulée sans aucun problème. Le montage s'est également passé sans encombre.
Apprendre encore plusTrès, très beau meuble. Livraison sans emballage encombrant et pourtant arrivé sans dommage. Rien que pour cela, je donnerais 10 étoiles.
Apprendre encore plusLe système et l'idée commerciale qui le sous-tendent sont tout simplement géniaux. La menuiserie Langenkämper, chargée de la réalisation, a fourni un travail remarquable. Je recommande vivement l'ensemble.
Apprendre encore plusPersonnel très aimable, serviable et compétent, concept génial et très bon site web. Réponses très rapides dans la communication.
Apprendre encore plusBon travail, l'étagère correspond à ce qui était prévu. Le service de livraison est très utile et orienté vers le client. Le montage par nos soins s'est très bien passé, les illustrations sont claires.
Apprendre encore plusNotre étagère est vraiment devenue une superbe pièce unique et personnalisée. Les questions posées avant la validation ont reçu une réponse rapide, et la date de livraison a été convenue dans les délais. L'équipe de la menuiserie Bücherl a été ponctuelle, travailleuse et très sympathique. Le montage par les Bücherl s'est déroulé sans encombre. On peut certainement trouver des produits standard à un prix nettement inférieur, mais certainement pas des pièces aussi superbes et sur mesure qui attirent autant l'œil. Excellent.
Apprendre encore plusLe rappel promis a été effectué à la minute près ! Nous avons ensuite bénéficié d'un entretien-conseil très compétent et sympathique, incluant l'ajustement en ligne de notre proposition de design pour une table de cuisine ! Nous sommes déjà fans !
