You’ve Wasted Time, Energy, and Paper for Far Too Long
Professional furniture designers, interior designers, and hobbyists know the design process takes time and patience. Not to mention the sheets and sheets of paper wasted and pencils worn down to the nib from drawing, re-drawing, and correcting mistakes.
Sure, you could spend hours trying to learn CAD, navigating past its engineering-first workflow, but that is simply the wrong way to go.

Sounds great. Create furniture pieces that are both beautiful and functional with less stress and frustration.
With less time spent on each piece, you could experiment more and learn new techniques quickly. You could also free up your time to take on higher-end projects or put designs together for your furniture.

See What Others Had to Say
85% of responders said they’d recommend SketchList to friends and family
SketchList 3D is the most effective, almost unique software for rapid furniture planning with exceptional features.
SketchList is an extremely functional software program for furniture and cabinet construction. The learning curve is not too steep for average computer users, which was very important to me. Since I am not a professional cabinet maker, I tried the Hobby demo first. While I like the Hobby version (and the price), I really like the material layout and purchase list features available in the Pro version.
Your application simply just rocks and makes it easy! I just finished my first design, and I’m so thrilled with the results. I found myself losing track of time, due to having fun, designing a network rack furniture piece. Thank you for all your hard work in making such a great app!
I have been using SketchList 3D since its inception several years ago, so I have seen it develop from a good program to a great program for professional woodworkers. My main purpose for using it was to improve my shop's production time, reduce errors and give me a chance to “build it” before I even step into the shop. However, there’s another benefit; customers are always impressed when I bring my laptop out and show them what I created for them in a 3D picture!
I’m inexperienced in CAD, but I have been playing around with the Demo version of SketchList Pro for a couple of days now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though I am a hobbyist furniture builder, I am considering selling some of my pieces and designs in the future and the added features of the Pro Version. Thanks again for such a great product!
I am a beginner at woodworking but a veteran PC user (software developer/technology), so being able to use software to build the furniture I want in an intuitive manner before trying to figure it out in the real world is a huge plus for me. I have been trying to figure out a desk design for my studio for over six months without much luck, with SketchList I got it down in about 8 hours.

What is Furniture Design Software?
Furniture design software renders 2D and 3D designs on a Windows or MAC computer. Virtual wooden boards are used when creating the designs. Then users can render photorealistic images to portray the design as a finished product. Advanced furniture design software should have many materials, wood species, and textures, including pine, mahogany, oak, ash, beechwood, and much more.
The best furniture software applications will offer the option to export and send material requirements, measurements, 2D dimensional drawings, and 3D renderings to clients. This ensures you and your clients are on the same page before you spend time and money on production.
You can customize your plans by choosing from an extensive library of shapes, and colors. You can even draw and visualize your own custom cabinetry or furniture in real-time. And with the power of the cloud, you can easily upload and share your plans with your team, clients, friends, and family.
