For Wooden Music Box5.0Dean made a gorgeous wooden music box to my exact specifications. The craftsmanship of the box is stunning; every detail was attended to and made perfect, and it just feels like Dean cared about and took time with every inch of the process, even through packing and shipping. The consultation process was easy and pleasant. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

For Knotty Alder Bath Vanity5.0Dean created a beautiful double vanity for us in Cherry. For months we had been looking for just the perfect vanity for our future family bathroom but never were happy with the looks, functionality (e.g. too narrow drawers, wasted space under sinks, etc.), or price. Then we came across custommade.com, figured we will give it a try and chose Dean to build our dream vanity.
The design process moved quickly since we had a photo of a similar vanity, and Dean's first set of technical drawings was spot on. He built the vanity in the promised time. The vanity is in Cherry and features soft-close doors and undermount, soft-close drawers. All drawers and doors were properly adjusted for squareness and proper closing. We decided to stain the vanity ourselves (yet to be done)because we had not decided on bathroom colors yet, and also to save some money. If we factor in staining, Dean's quote came in somewhat below semi-custom vanities for which we had gotten quotes, too (but still didn't like as much), which made the decision to pick him a no-brainer. In the future, we will almost certainly have some more furniture that needs to be built and we he will be the first person we will ask.
