I loved the place. They have many options of ready-made furniture or by design. They can be bought painted or unpainted, which I think is great in case customers, like me, want an unusual color or a different finish than usual. Very good option. Adrian's attention was wonderful. Thanks Adrian.

Paid for custom bookshelves that were to be completed in 10 weeks. The guy who I spoke with seems to fully understand what I wanted. After 18 weeks, I received bookshelves of hideously poor workmanship.

UPDATE: finally installing the cabinet pulls and finding more flaws. The doors are not the same size, warped, not plumb and the soft close hinges push them in past the frame. The more I look, the worse the workmanship is.

OLD PART: 4 of the doors were clearly cut too short and corrected with adding an extra piece. The stain is completely uneven. There are edges that were cut with a dull saw and the edges are torn vs. cleanly cut.

Sadly, I left them wrapped up 2 months and was disappointed when I finally saw what I had paid for. By this time, I needed the shelves so I sucked it up and kept them.

And now whenever I look at them, I don’t see the bookshelves that I’d always dreamed of, I see the poor quality that cost me too much. :-(

I’ve bought many things from here and have had them make me multiple custom cabinets. The work is excellent and I assure you, I will be buying from them again.

The first order was placed in December. It was February before I heard back one way or the other after leaving them 3 or 4 voicemail messages. Even then they seemed to call back promptly after it was my husband who called and left voicemail. After they delivered the two pieces we requested in the wrong color, they said they would remedy the situation by delivering the desk in the right color. We waited another 3 weeks. They just delivered again. The new desk was rushed to completion judging by the dribbles of varnish in the bottom front, you can see where the nails were put in and are a different color, and some of the edges are unfinished. This, in contrast to the other piece which they made and we kept which is well finished and what I had expected for the price. I am disappointed in the local business I wanted to support with my money. I am never going to them again. I cannot post pictures here, but will try to on yelp.

First I must say I love no frills places and 2nd, I really dig staining wood. If you enjoy diy projects and are looking for something solid to work off of, this is the store front for your wood furniture needs. They make other things custom, but for the unique crafter or hip DIYer, this is place is a good resource. And they speak Spanish, so thats an added plus.
