Cd Apothecary End Table

$2,000+
5.0(9 reviews)

This custom designed cherry end table is based on a design brought to me by my customer. We discussed different options and made some changes. The table was built in the design of an apothecary cabinet, with drawers sized to store about 40 CDs each. It is built of all solid lumber with hand cut dovetails in the case and drawers. The primary wood is cherry with walnut accents and pulls. The secondary wood is poplar with solid aromatic cedar drawer bottoms. Each drawer is hand fit to ensure smooth operation. Walnut splines decorate the breadboard top. The piece is finished with a hand rubbed oil polyurethane to bring out the character of the wood and for maximum protection. Please check out my web site for more photos. "Well we made it back to Indiana in one piece and so did the CD apothecary table. We have it placed in the family room, loaded with all my CD's (with room to expand) and it looks absolutely fantastic. The drawers are a perfect fit and work smooth as silk. After admiring it for a week I cannot think of one thing I would change. My wife says it is perfect. I want to thank you for making the whole experience positive. You are true to your word and working together during the creative process yielded a beautiful and functional piece. The pictures and progress reports as the table was crafted were appreciated and I really enjoyed seeing the build process. Lastly, the craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality of construction is outstanding. You managed to exceed my expectations and I can tell you that is not an easy thing to do. Aaron you are more than welcome to use me as a reference any time. I believe anyone commissioning a piece from you would be thrilled with the result. Again, thanks for all you have done. I am sure we will be working together again sometime in the future." -Mitch If you are interested in this piece or something like it, feel free to contact me, and I would be happy to give you a price quote and discuss the many options available.

My name is Aaron Maes. I'm an artist, designer and master furniture maker. My work is known for its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

My formal training is in studio art. I like to draw and paint, but in school I quickly gravitated to sculpture in wood and metal.

The physical process, the immediate feedback and the noise and smells and dust-the overall experience really engaged me creatively. The transition to furniture making was a natural one. I have always appreciated the art of finely crafted furniture, the beauty of the wood itself and the design challenges involved. It also lends itself well to my perfectionist nature as I strive to create art in a functional and beautiful piece.

My work is based on my love for the craft. I especially appreciate the design of the Arts and Crafts Movement and the simple lines of Shaker furniture, but I also thrive on the challenge to create a beautiful and well engineered piece that compliments an existing space or existing furniture.

I love, love, love my new dresser. From beginning to end Aaron was fabulous. From planning to execution to delivery the experience was flawless. Helpful in planning, great communicator and such gorgeous work. I would highly recommend Aaron for any furniture project!

Aaron and his son just left after delivering out bedroom set. We are THRILLED!! The pieces are gorgeous and extremely well made - they will last more than a lifetime. Aaron has been a pleasure to work with as we worked through details of the design, dimensions, hardware options, etc. He has always been extremely responsive to messages and has regularly kept us posted on the progress. This has been a particularly challenging year for him and his family, which led to a delay in delivery (hence the lower rating on "timeliness"), but the pieces were really worth waiting for. If we have other furniture needs, we will definitely contact Aaron.

Just thrilled. This was a different sort of project - an unconventional piece of furniture (a standing desk, set up for computer access) in a mission/arts and crafts style. Aaron put in a ton of time at the front end to ensure that the design was exactly right. Tremendous attention to detail, and beautiful craftsmanship. Delivery coincided with the 2012 Fine Furnishings show, at which it was featured and highly complimented. Aaron was a pleasure to work. Thanks again.
