Great work on the actual product ... it's beautiful.

But I don't like the way the photographer set up the images. The black background makes it look like this was all image generated by AI or something ... it makes it look ... fake .. or like it is floating in empty space. It makes it look like it is a digital creation from an AutoCAD program. The dark background makes it look dark and ominous.

Instead of a solid studio background, it might be nicer to place it in a neutral background - nothing too flashy that would detract from the furniture. Maybe a blank white wall and sitting on a hardwood floor and all bathed in natural soft light.

EDIT: I wondered if maybe you might have other photos in your history and you do ... your photo from a few days ago displays this furniture in a lot more dramatic way than in the professional photographer images

... but this is just my opinion ... I may be right or wrong ... it is just my personal take ... otherwise, I still love the furniture and I can absolutely appreciate the time, effort, expertise and skill that went into making it.

Yeah the lighting was not suitable for the subject.

If they had to use a plain background, white or grey would be much better than black.

I hope OP didn't pay much for this photographer.
