Our focus on furniture happened many years ago (25+) as a result of some left-over lumber, the need for a bench by the backdoor, and a frugal resourceful nature that told us to give it a try. The bench turned out beautiful (we still use it every day), the experiment turned to a hobby, the hobby to an obsession, the obsession to a journey… We design and build custom furniture on commission. Our shop specializes in made to order custom furniture specifically for individual clients.

For Custom White Oak Side TableWorking with Amy was a breeze. She was very patient with someone totally inexperienced with woodworking. She held my hand throughout the entire process while still giving me freedom of choice. In the end, what matters most is that my item got here extremely fast, came out exactly as discussed, and elegantly designed to boot. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

For Modern Farmhouse Extension TableBecause it is that time of year, I will borrow a quote from Ralphie's teacher in "A Christmas Story": A++++++++++++++++++!
Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. Whether it's working with you to ensure your design is just right for you, communicating status of your project, or coordinating final delivery to your doorstep - the entire process was enjoyable and professional. Amy takes immense pride in her work and I am proud to display her work (well, eat on it…it is a kitchen table) in my home.
She is a professional and a talent; I would recommend her to anyone!

For Red Oak Platform Storage BedWe can't say enough about how pleased we are with the experience of working with Amy Gless of Glessboards and with the finished project they delivered. We wanted a king size bed with storage drawers under the platform and storage in the headboard. Our bedroom has windows on two sides, closets on the third and the entry door and ensuite bathroom on the fourth. The bed could only go on a window wall. Critical to our requirements was the headboard had to be of a height to fit under our bedroom windows. We shopped on-line and in many local furniture stores. Many beds had storage, but always their headboards blocked our windows. Amy worked hard, through several rounds of design, to meet our requirements, making suggestions based on her experience and accepting our ideas too. Also important was matching the finish of our existing bedroom furniture. Amy prepared two rounds of samples until we found a practically identical finish. Amy was upfront about timing (5 to 6 months) and pricing. She delivered and assembled the bed right at the 6 month mark, at the contracted price, which was very comparable to the beds we had seen at furniture stores, except the bed Amy built for us met our design requirements. We would not hesitate to contract with Glessboards and Amy Gless in the future.

For NICOLE's Coffee TableGlessboards was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a slightly unusual request for a walnut coffee table and two end tables which they happily discussed and drew up for me. Everything went seamlessly, was priced fairly and definitely exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated the photos that were sent during the process! This definitely won't be the only Glessboards purchase I make.

For Cover/Cutting Board For Kitchen Island Cooktop.My experience working with Amy (Glessboards) was terrific. We had a very slight hiccup with communication at one point, but her professionalism and follow up was reassuring— and the project exceeded my expectations. I plan on using her again for future projects.
