Solid Oak Military Retirement Shadow Box Table

This was the most impressive process, from start to completion. The communication about this project was excellent, and Jonathan was very professional, and patient. He took the time to explain every aspect of the project from the initial design to the wood selection, stain options and all the steps in between. He sent pictures as the table developed, making this a very personal experience. I cannot be more pleased with the outcome. It is exactly what I had envisioned. I wasn’t sure whether that would be the case when initially deciding to go with custommade.com for this project. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! The result is a unique and beautiful piece, hand crafted with knowledge, care and expertise. We will make many memories around this table and it will be treasured. Jonathan is a true artist. Thank you Jonathan for this positive experience and for this piece. I hope you will be available to work on future projects and would select you as the contractor in a heartbeat. Thanks custommade.com for facilitating!

My Wife and I originally commissioned Jonathan to build a custom lift top coffee table, as we could not find what we were looking for at any furniture stores or through online sources. While working with Jonathan on the design of this table, we quickly realized that we were working with someone that was as meticulous as I am, therefore we added 2 additional tables to the original order. All three tables are made of Bubinga and Padauk for a perfect match. Jonathan was extremely helpful in the design phase, providing suggestions that helped insure that the finished products would meet our high expectations. During the building phase, Jonathan was prompt to keep us abreast of his progress by providing pictures and email updates. Once the tables were completed, Jonathan personally delivered the three tables to our house in Nevada which allowed us to meet him, and discuss the tables. We found Jonathan easy to work with. He is a true craftsman with very high standards for his work. We would recommend him to anyone, and would not hesitate to use his talents again in the future.

We had a special request for Jonathan and he surpassed our wishes by far. His inlay work is delicate and graceful, embodying the best example of a centuries-old tradition. We love our tables and all that they represent.

Jonathan made me a beautiful coffee table exactly to my specifications. The quality of the materials was excellent and the workmanship was perfect. Every detail was just right. The process was a pleasure; Jonathan was friendly and informative every step of the way. I highly recommend him!

This was my first experience commissioning a custom piece of furniture to be built, and I feel fortunate to have found Jonathan to handle the project, a crafting desk with large work surface for my wife. Working with Jonathan was a pleasure from start to finish – communication was excellent, he kept us up-to-date with frequent e-mail and pictures, accommodated all requirements (and changes) yet provided helpful recommendations based on his experience (also helping educate me on choice of wood and stain), and personally delivered and completed final assembly of the unit in my wife’s workshop. Jonathan is a meticulous craftsman and conscientious professional, and just an overall really nice guy to work with. The final result is beautiful, and my wife is very pleased with her new work desk, using it daily for her crafting and card making. I would not hesitate to recommend Jonathan, and certainly use him again for any future work. Thanks Jonathan!
