For Outdoor Patio TableThis table we had Jon make is awesome. We had a party the next day with a bunch of friends and family. Every single person loved the table. We sat around the table for hours and hours. We cannot thank Jon enough for all the hard work and effort he put into this spectacular table. Well done! When the next project comes up, we will be calling Jon. Thanks, Fred

For Custom FenceIt was a pleasure meeting and working with Jon. We were looking for a craftsman to work through the design and detailing of a custom fence and gates. Jon was wonderful to work with, discussing our ideas and recommending solutions. It was a large project, and although it took longer than initially estimated, we feel that Jon took the appropriate care and necessary time to make certain the work was done well and done right. He was excellent at communicating throughout the process, so expectations for time and process were clear. A great experience, and a beautiful fence.

For Loft bedJon is a fantastic craftsman who designed and built a triple bunk bed for our family that is truly unique. His communication throughout the project as it evolved to best meet our needs was excellent. He is imaginative and thoughtful as to details. We will use him for any future furniture needs. A truly professional artisan and a great value.

For Metal mirror Project5 out of 5 Stars - here's what you need to know, since a project is never easy: (1) Shipping - freight cost snafu, Jon handled with grace while shipping from Chicago to NYC (2) Value - doubtful a price is lower elsewhere (3) Expertise - project was a large scale Restoration Hardware mirror replica, turned out better than RH product (4) Timeliness - faster than Restoration Hardware could deliver (5) Comm./Professionalism - emails always returned within 24hr.s

For Dota 2 TokenPolitest person I've ever had to deal with and the item I wanted made I was impressed with the details. First item I've seen an item made of it. But I am honest, the time to complete it was severely hampered but I blame it on the holidays and I'm not gonna complain about someone spending time with their family and he had some issues making a new item he never done before so I'm not mad and I'm very patient. He even expressed that he felt bad and wanted to give me some money back. All in all I would def recommend him :)

For Coffee TableI am very happy with the final product and found Jon very easy to work with. Communication was excellent throughout the build and build time was fairly quick. The table was sent flat, but was simple to put together with pre-marks and is a very nice addition to my living room. I would be happy to work with Jon again.

For Bed FrameJon is amazing. He is a great listener, interpreter, craftsman, good for people, It was an all around great experience and I got a perfect bed designed and built even better than I thought possible at a really reasonable price. If you have a project, use Jon!

For Attic Access LadderJon built us exactly what we wanted, a ladder for a loft space. He was a great communicator throughout the process and did everything that he said he would. The finished product was study and well appearing. He even went out of his way to help us get the ladder installed. We would definitely work with him again in the future and recommend him to others.

For Built in Shelves/ PlayspaceWe love our new built in shelves/indoor play system! My kids have been entertained for hours and I am thrilled to have a place to put all their toys. Jon was wonderful to work with and his work speaks for itself - the craftsmanship of the shelf and attention to detail are amazing.
