To elaborate a bit on what's already been said. The problem you'll face is that many people have a "Walmart" mentality. They expect a good looking piece at a similar price to what Walmart sells an item for. Problem is, you'll likely have as much in materials alone, and nothing for your labor. The commission market is different from the mass market. What you're selling is quality construction, perhaps local materials, local craftsmanship, and exclusivity by being totally custom. Building commission stuff is one off work and should be priced accordingly. You won't be able to compete against IKEA or Wally world. You'll have to also point out that the materials you use (hopefully the "good" stuff) isn't what they see in a mass produced setting. The sales guys have bamboozled the public with what constitutes "real wood". I recently installed some under cab lighting in a $650k custom house. The owner was proud of his "solid wood" maple custom cabinets. He wasn't so proud when I showed him that what he really had was maple veneered mdf that, while it looked great, was still maple veneered mdf.
A recent illustrative case. My son recently got married (another long story), and he wanted a chest of drawers for their bedroom suite. The problem he had was that many of the off the shelf/floor items were wrong size, didn't like the finish, didn't like the wood, no design suitable. His reply was he didn't want a thing from me for a wedding present, at least in a usual sense. He said he wanted my and his grandfather's labor building a custom piece and he would supply the wood. Well, my dad and I built him an arts & crafts style piece out of qswo and maple. He specified that we were not to finish it, that he and his bride would do the staining and finishing. Some 50 manhours later, he had his custom chest of drawers, ready to finish. He had a friend of his come by to see his and his bride's handiwork on the piece and to give a rough appraisal for the piece. Price came in at $3500. Why? It's solid qswo, not a veneer over mdf or plywood, the drawers are half blind dovetailed solid maple, the drawers are inset into the frame with the face about .125 proud of the frame. The corners are 2in square billet on all four corners. The top is picture framed t&g with splined corners. Frame going to the corner billets was all m&t joinery. Simple, very solid, no mdf, and is of heirloom quality. Won't get that at IKEA or Wally world.
