Expanding Dining Table

$4,000

The customer wanted a dining table that could expand but have a way to conveniently store the extra leave in the table. This was accomplished by designing and building a butterfly leaf that unfolds from underneath once the table top halves are separated. This expands the table from 72" to 92" when the leaf is in use. The table is made entirely from walnut and finished with oil to bring out the beauty of the wood. It was then sealed with a high quality urethane topcoat for durability. https://youtu.be/xK-4WsaG55E

    I asked Adam to make a walnut extendable dining table for me. I knew exactly what I wanted, so that made the process very straightforward. Adam always asked me questions when there were design decisions- finish, extension style, edge profile, etc.- which I really appreciated. Overall he was very easy to work with and communicated well during the whole process. He has very good craftsmanship and created a table that will be in our family for many years.

    Adam was great to work with. He built the credenza to our exact specifications. The unit looks great. Luckily, we had flexibility in our schedule because it took several weeks longer than anticipated to complete the job.

    First off, let me say that this was my first experience using CustomMade, and I'm very happy that I took this route vs. Angie's List or finding a carpenter elsewhere.

    Adam (aka AJC Woodworking) was great throughout the entire process of building a custom cabinet for my bedroom. While I was able to create the design myself in Google SketchUp, he made a trip to my apartment to make exact measurements himself and made sure everything would line up. Because I live in a pre-war, none of the walls are remotely even - but he still managed to deliver a cabinet that basically fit perfectly in place - something I never would have managed, no matter how many times I may have measured. He also had to make certain design decisions to ensure it would be built in a way that would ensure stability while still meeting my aesthetic expectations - and the price for this was competitive as well.

    His craftsmanship was excellent - there were some unique features I requested, like perforated sheet metal for the doors, which he sourced and installed - and they look great. He painted it in the bold tomato-red color I requested and recommended the perfect gloss finish for it. The mix of birch plywood and poplar for the shelving and doors he suggested were the perfect choice. All the materials he used are solid, and the unit was built well - it is definitely a strong and sturdy unit that I expect to last forever!

    Also, Adam was still able to deliver the cabinet to me just a few weeks after we had planned as his shop was affected by Hurricane Sandy - and I'm grateful he communicated this all to me well throughout the process. His delivery and installation went extremely smoothly and I'm completely satisfied with the results.

    If you are looking for a custom piece of carpentry, I'm confident that AJC Woodworking can deliver!
