Wine Barrel Ring Bookends - Kitabu - Made From Salvaged Napa Wine Barrel Rings

We enjoyed our custom made grapevine coffee table until we discovered it was infested with wood-eating beetles. An exterminator confirmed these beetles reside in the wood. The table was not salvageable and the bugs destroyed the rug beneath the table. The maker refused to respond to my request for remediation. Before considering spending thousand of dollars on any product from this maker, I strongly urge you to take heed of the following response from Custom Made Support: "The listing clearly stated that the product is made from recycled materials. As such the maker had no way of knowing that the materials used to create your table were infested with bugs."

All went fine, except that it isn't clear which grinder is for salt and which is for pepper. The one with the black grinding handle has plastic grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for salt. The one with the chrome grinding handle has metal grinder parts, which makes us think it should be for pepper. If this is correct, it seems odd to use chrome for pepper and black for salt.

The wine barrel cork holder is absolutely beautiful, very well made with expertise attention to detail. Communication was excellent and responded in a timely manner. Shipping was fast and arrived before Christmas. My wife absolutely loves it. Hands down a great product and customer service. Thank you again Michael Weiss.... Ben

Thanks so much for the lovely ornament! We are so happy to have such a wonderful reminder of our time in Napa.

Wow is all I can say. Michael was phenomenal. The product is perfect and service amazing. It did arrive slightly damaged but Michael paid to ship it back and had it repaired. Then I had to have it shortened because I ended up having a smaller space than anticipated and he took care of everything! Highly recommended.

We are thrilled with our custom made clock! It’s the perfect size and completes are dining room wall!

Absolutely love the chandelier Michael made for our new home. We’ve had many compliments on how great it looks! Thank you Michael!

From start to finish, a completely professional transaction. Michael quickly answered a question I had before purchasing the knife holder, and I received it in record time, packaged perfectly. This was a birthday gift for my husband, and he loves it. It looks great in our kitchen.

Michael was very professional, he built and delivered a great looking coffee table ; he worked with me on the specific table dimensions and the special order oval table glass top. My wife and I are very pleased with our "one of a kind" table that will also be a great conversation piece of furniture!!! Thank you Michael, Matt and the rest of your team. Delivered as promised - well done!!!

Absolutely floored by how beautiful the craftsmanship turned out. Michael and his team were very professional to work with, prompt in their replies and thorough in their responses. Mounting the custom light fixture turned a bit into a challenge due to my own misconception and weight of the final product, but completely overjoyed that I chose Michael's design and proposal. Highly recommend.

I am ecstatic at the quality of custom work that Michael and his team provided. I gave him a tricky assignment and they delivered superbly. I would order from him again in a heart beat.

Michael and I talked about the project and exchanged pictures and decided upon a final design. He told me when the project would be done and it shipped to me just when he said it would. The light looks great and I am very please with this project and this maker.

Michael is an AMAZING talent!! He created a custom fixture for us and the finished product exceeded expectations!! Michael was very timely with the project, and he communicated throughout the process. I would HIGHLY recommend Michael for any project, and I will definitely use him again in the future. THANKS MICHAEL! :)

Working with Michael was very easy. Some mods were required for our application of this lamp, which Michael was able to accommodate very easily. There was a small delay in getting shipped across the border, but once that was worked out, (without using a broker or added cost), the courier delivered our item in a few days. We're very happy, we have 4 unique lamps from California wine country in Ontario wine country!

Beautiful product. Shipped well and timely. Would order from here again. Just a little pricey.

Thank you for a beautiful host table and the gift samples.

The wine rack came much sooner than I had anticipated- it as a nice surprise (not to say I would be upset had it arrived on the anticipate "due date"). I love the "imperfections" and the lack of symmetry. It gives it that beautifully put together look that "homemade" has to offer. I don't know who made it, but I can see their skill and personality. Blends perfectly- NOT obnoxious, NOT too big, and definitely not something I will get tired of looking at. EVER. (I really cannot rate the expertise and value of this product since I don't know what it took on the other end in terms of time and skill. Bottom line, I am happy with the product for the amount I paid).

We are very happy with wine country craftsman. The project could have not gone smoother. When we received the table it was even better than we expected. We would order from them again.
