Grand Mission Desk

Communication is the best part about working with Patrick! If he had any question he immediately sent a message and was meticulous about making sure the finished product would meet my expectations. I was a little disappointed when I received my stand when I saw a very sharp protrusion on the side - to try and cover it would ruin the aesthetics of the piece. I work with young children and hope this isn't a problem. Delivery was delayed by 3 days because I wasn't asked if I would be home -- I was out of town and the shipment was in limbo. Make sure when your product is shipped that someone will be around all day to sign for the delivery.

I had a wonderful experience working with Patrick, from New Mission Workshop via CustomMade. His style was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a cabinet to house my essential oils collection. I wanted a piece that had a classic look, constructed with good wood and excellent craftsmanship. He was very easy to work with and simply knew what he was doing. Any questions/issues were easily addressed and all steps to bring the project to completion came at a reasonable pace. Throughout the production process, he sent images of each stage and was very communicative. I am very pleased with my essential oils cabinet and would recommend Patrick for custom woodworking needs.

Working with Patrick was a first-rate experience. The final product was exactly what we spoke about. His 3D renderings of the complex mission desk are a picture-perfect match to the desk he created. I'm 400 miles from his shop so our only communication was via email and phone conversations. His response time was excellent and he was always open to slight changes throughout the project. I'd recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a craftsman to deliver what you ask of him. No regrets.

I bought these candlesticks as a gift for relatives who not only know Mission styles in great detail, but have also gradually redecorated their home to reflect their love of the style. I feel grateful that Patrick told me that genuine Mission pieces are made in oak, not cherry. My relatives immediately confirmed the accuracy of his work. We all admired the beauty of the candlesticks. The candlesticks were in regular use by the evening's meal. Are the candlesticks pricey? Yes. Might they be over-priced? Possibly. But in fact, I could not find any others with which to compare them. Overall I am extremely happy with the purchase!

It was extremely easy to work with Patrick on this project. He was open to the custom changes I needed (made out of cherry, and fit to hold a violin rather than a ukelele), and the final product was fantastic. It did take a bit longer than I initially hoped, but Patrick was up front with the time line and the final piece arrived at my door faster than initially estimated. The stand was well packaged and in great shape. It is a beautiful piece of work, and I am thrilled with the final result. It is my first time using the CustomMade website, and I will definitely try it out again.
