Lowells Drop Front Desk

Beautiful work. I love the bench.

This table base was exactly as requested. It is beautiful!. I would have provided a five star rating for all categories, but the delivery was several weeks later than the original date provided because the shipper was not available at that time. I would have cost several hundred dollars more to deliver with another delivery service. I was not in a hurry to receive the table and so did not mind. The communicaiton from this craftsman was excellent. This is the second item ordered from the craftsman and I have been very pleased with both items.

Consider this a rave review. Five stars plus.
Darrin was especially easy to work with, he took his time in answering my questions and always made himself readily available. I chose to work with him based on photographs that were posted and that he sent of previous work and after speaking together I knew that he understood exactly what I was looking for. The craftsmanship of these pieces is beyond what I had expected, and believe me I had high expectations. Darrin created a writing desk with matching night stands out of walnut with contrasting sections done in Curley Maple with hand made drawer pulls. They are beautiful pieces of art that I will enjoy for many years. Thank you, Darrin!

Let's get one thing out of the way - the table is beautiful. You hope it will turn out that way, but when you base a decision on a small picture of something that is kind of like what you want (but what you want is something very different) in the beginning all you have is hope. That's how it started with me.

I saw a picture of a chess table that Darrin had made. It looked nice, but I needed something larger and with the board portion made of different materials. Before I really knew about his craftsmanship I already felt comfortable with the decision to go with Darrin because he listened. It wasn't how he had made a chess table before, but it was what I wanted. With photo updates along the way Darrin could show me that my choice worked (and that he might use these materials again for other clients). The table was packed in a way that it could have made it unscathed if it was drop shipped to a war zone.

When I got the table the only surprise was how cool the table really was. It's everything I wanted. I'm very pleased that I worked with Darrin on this. He did a fantastic job.
