Reclaimed Wood Chevron Coffee Table With Tubular Steel Legs

Awesome work and awesome people! Thank you!

Urban Mining Company is a pleasure to work with. They do impeccable work and the headboard that I ordered is just what I was hoping for. They kept in communication with me and made sure that I was pleased with the piece before accepting. I picked up the headboard in person and they came in to their shop while closed in order to accommodate me. Highly recommended, they do great work and are solid!

We had a 10-foot conference table, end tables, and a coffee table built by Urban Mining Company. Every piece is beautiful and well built. I ordered the furniture early, wanting it to be delivered a few months later and in retrospect, I wish that I would not have told them not to rush, because they didn't. Brenda and Ron sent a picture of projects and it was a lot lighter than we imagined, so they fixed it! We received our furniture in spectacular shape, EXACTLY how we wanted it. The quality is similar to Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn furniture I have ordered, but it is nice to know that for about the same price (or cheaper) you can get a customized table that was built by local craftsman.

Brenda was great to work with. The finished desk is beautiful and she helped me adjust my sketch so it was just right. She was prompt and I would highly recommend her.

Here are the facts. They should more than explain why I'm giving this company one star. I will start by saying we are located in Austin, and Urban Mining Co is located in California. So, before I hired them, I made sure to clarify that shipping costs needed to be included in their quote, as I was also bidding local companies. They offer the best (overall) quote for two custom projects: A conference table, and a reception desk. The conference table was going to be a quick turn around because they already had it in stock, and the desk was going to be about 6 weeks to complete. Once we were under contract and I had made the deposits, I took it upon myself to get another shipping quote to compare and see if I could save a bit of money. Urban Mining co's people were significantly cheaper for the table, so I decided to stick with their shipping company. When the table was actually ready to ship, Brenda let me know that she was misquoted by her people by about $800 on the cost to ship the table. I wound up circling back with my contact and scheduling the delivery, as it was slightly cheaper. Brenda agreed to deduct $400.00 off the cost of the next project, as this significantly delayed the timing and was a LOT more than we were originally quoted. Even with this discount, we were still going to be paying more than originally quoted. Not a huge deal, but an annoyance. <SIDE NOTE: While trying to figure out the shipping dilemma, I requested a phone call from Brenda FIVE times. She never called, instead would reply via email. I explained to her that we could sort through things much faster via phone and the email exchange was only delaying the shipment. She said they got terrible reception in their shop and that her husband Ron would call me at XX time on XX day. He never called.> The conference table arrived two weeks later than anticipated due to the lengthy back-and-forth via email and confusion on shipping. The table was nice, but did not have any sort of finish on the top of it, so people won't be able to use it to write on. Overall, it was nice but nothing special for the cost and headache to get it here. It only got worse from here. I should have backed out of the second project, and Brenda gave me the option to do so, but I went against my better judgement and had them move forward with building the desk. I MADE SURE TO HAVE BRENDA DOUBLE CHECK THE COST OF SHIPPING THE DESK BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. Again, there was confusion on some of the features of the desk - like file cabinets - and a lot of back and forth via email because they wouldn't call to discuss the details. Three days before the project was said to be completed, I got an email from Ron saying that the shipping cost was going to be more than expected because it was going to weigh more than they thought.... WHAT?! I responded that this was completely unacceptable and I would only pay what I was quoted (and requoted) for. Two days later I received an email from Brenda saying that Ron hurt his back and they were unable to complete the project, and I got another email from Custom Made saying my deposit had been refunded. Even if this was true, the project should have been 99% complete by the time they let me know. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIRING URBAN MINING COMPANY FOR A CUSTOM PROJECT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT LOCAL. ESPECIALLY IF YOU APPRECIATE MAKING SURE DETAILS ARE TALKED THROUGH VIA PHONE.

I looked all over and couldn't find what I wanted in a table for my home office. Then I found Brenda @ Urban Mining Company. They were very flexible and ultimately built me exactly what I wanted. The communication, includes proof-of-concept drawing and pictures, throughout the process was flawless. The final product is perfect. I couldn't recommend these folks any higher. You can tell they are passionate about the product and their customers.

We are thrilled with our barn wood bar table and coffee tables. From the get go the Urban Mining team was great to work with - prompt communication, iterative design and estimating process, creative ideas and options, pride in their craftsmanship and personal delivery to our door. We would definitely work with them again!

Working with Urban Mining Co has been a breeze. They are very responsive and delivered the project on time as promised. Our company is vert pleased with the finished project. I highly recommend them for all your custom building needs.

Absolutely AMAZING!!! Brenda and Ron went above and beyond our expectations! The end result was absolutely gorgeous, they got it done early as we asked (even though it was a HUGE ask of them). They kept us in the loop at all times, replied right away. I could go on and on. They'll be my first call if we ever need anything else. Amazing people/products here!

Brenda and the team at Urban Mining Company were such a pleasure to work with on our kitchen table. I sent them an image of the table I wanted to make with modified dimensions and they were able to custom design it exactly as I had envisioned. The reclaimed wood is beautiful and so sturdy! And they were able to work with a fellow artisan to create a zinc top to the beautiful wood base - it came together so nicely and fits perfectly in our kitchen nook. They were so accommodating and helpful - I will definitely be keeping them on my radar for future furniture pieces. Thanks, Urban Mining Company. Great work!! Katie V.

Working with Brenda and the entire team at the Urban Mining Company was a joy. My custom chevron headboard is so lovely!

Brenda was so lovely to work with!!
