For Twin over full bunk bed with trundle.Richard was terrific to work with! He was able to provide the low VOC beds that we were looking for. We can't wait to sleep in them.

For DeskExcellent!!! Richard was great to work with. He did exactly as I asked and was so great on double checking with me. For instance he felt the color I had selected looked too light so he sent me a pic side by side with another color. I really appreciated that because I went with his recommendation And best of all the price was 100 less than quoted. Awesome! • Personal note: Thank you so much for building a GREAT desk. It is really awesome. I appreciate your great communication on the project. Of all the bids I got (within and without of Custom Made) you were the only one who really did exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate that. I also appreciate your double checking on things like the stain and the height of the desk. FYI - I know the desk looks short but that lower height puts less stress on the shoulders when working at the computer. Anyway, I love the desk. Thanks so much!
