For Simple, Solid Wood BedAfter seeing a beautiful but not quite perfect-for-what-I-was-looking-for walnut bed in a local showroom, I posted a project on custommade.com to see if there was anyone who could bring my vision to life. After communicating with several woodworkers, I commissioned Tom to build it. Here’s why I'm so glad I did….
1) Tom’s communication skills were far superior to everyone else. I’m a picky person – I admit that – but being detail oriented leads to no surprises and getting exactly what you want. Tom answered every single nit-picky question I had with incredible professionalism. He explained things in layman’s terms, indicated when he’d get back to you – and always did.
2) Professional. Tom not only interpreted my vision perfectly, meaning he listened to what I wanted - but he also offered suggestions and provided his perspective as well. This led to a beautifully built bed. He wants you to be happy with his product and he will stop at nothing to make sure you are.
3) Honest. Tom is upfront and a man of his words and did right by us. For example, we had a shipping issue (fault of the shipping company) and Tom rebuilt the bed no questions asked – and he did this before he was reimbursed by the shipping company.
We liked Tom so much, we had him build a couple nightstands for us as well…and I’d use him again in a heartbeat!

For an affordable odd length twin bedIt was amazing from start to finish. Starkwood Designs stands alone in customer service, quality and craftmanship and sheer talent. I couldn't be happier, niether could my daughter. She adores her new bed. There isn't many things in this world that you could label as perfect, but this experience is a definite exception! Just Wonderful!!!!
