Cd / Dvd Cabinet

Dean was very easy to work with and made beautiful pieces. Would work with him again. Highly recommend.

Well made desk. Dean has listened to all my requests and executed exactly what I was expecting to see.

Excellent outcome, very professional, helpful with design issues, solid craftsmanship. Recommend Dean to others and would be happy to work with him again.

Dean is a fine craftsman and a true professional. He made a beautiful arts and crafts bench for my entryway to my specifications. He obviously enjoys woodworking and cares about quality because he crafted my bench as if he were making it for himself (and I could tell that he was proud of the finished product). He used high quality materials and took the time to choose the most beautiful wood with lovely grain. The finish was perfect and the design is just what I wanted -- a little bit art deco and a little bit vintage. Dean has high standards and makes furniture that is solid and will last. The bench is the perfect size for my entryway and quite functional (not just beautiful)! Dean is a great communicator too -- he answered all of my questions promptly and completely and even sent pictures! He delivered the bench on time, and I must say, there's no need to worry about any damage during shipping. Dean knows how to package furniture for safe shipping! I would highly recommend Dean, and I will go to him for any of my own future projects. Thank you, Dean, and I hope you continue to enjoy your craft. This is an heirloom quality piece that I will pass on to my grandson one day.

Dean 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.

Dean 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.

Received my special order champagne flute box today. What a beautiful box, crafted with care. I could not be happier with how it came out. Dean, listened to all of my ideas and designed the perfect wedding gift. The box was made to the exact specification of the glasses. Fit like a glove! Great communication throughout the process and received before promised date! Thank you so much for such a wonderful box!

Mr. Batterman exceeded our expectation on workman ship, communication, and helpful hints for improvements. The workmanship of the finished product was beautiful. The finished product was shipped three week ahead of schedule and the packaging was very professional, there was no way it could get damaged during shipment. The price for the project was very reasonable and we will use Mr. Batterman for any future wood projects.

Dean's woodworking is some of the best I've seen in any context. I appreciated his thorough planning work at the design stage and constant communication through the building process. We incorporated most of his design suggestions in the plans, and I think he improved the project significantly beyond what I initially had in mind. I also received the final product several weeks ahead of schedule.

DId a great job! It is exactly what I wanted, extra sturdy shelves used for the book shelves, and very professional. I would highly recomment Batterman's for future work!
