Materials, craftsmanship, quality and scale are important factors in differentiating High, mid and low range products but this can sometimes be tough as it depends on price point of the manufacturer as even they have a range of products they offer. If you want to see the best made bespoke brands on the market, look at high end showrooms , of course there’s a price tag to match, but you will see the pinnacle of the luxury market. On the other hand, we have boutique shops that offer similar reproduction items from different brands at fairly moderate prices.

On the far end of the scale, we have low end products sold in trade markets which are usually either reproduced locally (hand made by local crafts men) or imported knock offs called “ china” from mass produced Asian markets. Material choices and finishes play a large part in defining upper and middle range as they are likely to use the same construction methods while the low range differs because of a significantly lower expertise and quality of materials
