For Low Media ConsoleIt was a real pleasure working with Jamison. He was very professional and courteous. He helped me shape my project through the design phase and carried out the project as promised. The final product is absolutely magnificent. I would absolutely do business with him again.
The reasons for not giving a five star review are, I believe, well founded. Jamison greatly underestimated the time it would take to finish the project, which caused frustration. Estimated time to shipping was 6 weeks but the project carried on to about 3 months. The other frustration is that he did not communicate with the frequency that he said he would. He did not respond to my messages as quickly as I would have liked, and I believe he fell short on his promises to send photos or follow up e-mails. So there were some frustrating moments. He communicated just enough to where I knew my project was moving forward. I can tell he's a busy guy.
At the end of the day, my wife and I asked ourselves if we would do the Custommade.com thing again, and if we would do it with Jamison. And I say absolutely yes. Having done one project gives me some trust with him and the process and the work was first rate.

For Patterned Low Media ConsoleThe piece is really beautiful. Craftsmanship is elegant and evident in the many carefully-considered details. Well worth the wait, it is a piece of functional art that really ties my entire room together. Super happy with it. I will likely have another piece done by Jamison. Thank you again!

For Table ProjectJamison was an absolute joy to work with. His furniture is very well made and truly one of a kind. He constantly communicates with you while working on the project and provides updates with pictures for multiple steps. If there is ever a choice in design or process (stain, finish, etc), he asks for your input so you have a product that feels like your own. Although delivery was a little late and we needed to hire extra movers since our piece was so large, the experience was marvelous. So glad we went with Jamison!

For kitchen island with wheelWe are really happy with Jamison's both in metal and wood work. We provide a design initially. After a few round of communication, Jamison gives very good feedback, modification and enhanced the design. The island turns out amazing! We love it.
During the process, the best thing I found is that Jamison is very easy to worj with and communicate. He first provided us with a computer rendering so that we have a feeling of how the island looks. The island ended up to be exactly look like the rendering. The is very helpful! He is also a very careful and thoughtful person. He communicates very precisely (this makes things very easy) and asks what we want in each details. For example, he will take pictures of the hardware he founds and let us provide feedback. Sometimes, the hardware we wanted is not what he found but he is willing to look for something unique and match our need. I think Jamison is very passionate at what he does, therefore, he cares a lot on the things he made. For me, the island is not only a furniture, it is an art.
I am very happy to work with Jamison. We had a very good first custom made experience. Thanks Jamison. We love the island :)
