Mid-Century Modern, Three-Legged White Oak Table

After 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!

I'm very pleased with how the pet bed turned out. Tom was able to look at a picture and create it to my specific dimensions. He was easy to work with and communicated well with me throughout the project. Also, I thought he quoted the price fairly. I would recommend him for custom projects!

Tom at Starkwood was friendly and professional. Hw worked with me every step of the way and final product was outstanding. Thank you Tom !

We are really happy with Tom's final piece and the service he provided and it was a pleasure to go through the Custom Made process with him. He was friendly and approachable, and we always felt were in safe hands. We had a table replicated from a provided visuals and specs and he was able to match it supremely well.

The only thing we can say was a 'very slight' let down was the final surface detail of our table. Although it does arguably add character, the middle board of our table has a a series of flecks which we were told after construction are due a natural occurrence in oak and the way it was cut. If there was time it may have been nice to have seen the look of the 'ray fleck' beforehand and get the choice to decide if we used the other side of the board or not.

However other than that we are supremely happy customers!

Looks beautiful.
