Shattered Chess Board Display Piece

Amy communicated the progress of desk and I am very excited to see the final product (in person). The photos look amazing.

Working 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.

This is our third time working with Amy and she has once again made a table for us that is exactly what we hoped for. Amy does beautiful work, collaborates consistently to make sure we are on the same page, packs the pieces in a way that fully protects them for cross country travel and uses delivery people who seem to share her commitment to careful professionalism. Working with Amy and living with her finished carpentry pieces continues to be a joy for us. We recommend Amy and Glessboards to all without reservation!

We have been using our new table about three months now and we are totally delighted with it! Amy built the exact table we wished for and was very responsive and helpful with support when we had questions about maintaining its durability and beauty. She worked with us throughout the building process and took highly professional care with safe and impressive packing of the table for long haul shipping (Michigan to NYC suburbs). This was the second time Amy has built a custom piece of furniture for us and we anticipate it won't be the last. We highly recommend Amy and her work to all!

We 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.
