Counter Height Trestle Dining Table

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.

I can't recommend Amy enough! She was accommodating, professional, and a joy to work with. We love the finished product! Would not hesitate to use Glessboards again and again and you should too!

We recently had a table made by a local woodworker. We quickly learned that there aren’t many “local” woodworkers who make chairs. Luckily we found Glessboards on Custommade and found a style we thought would compliment the table.

Working with Amy was quick and simple. Glessboards have many options and are willing to change anything to make the furniture suited to your style. Amy and Nick are very kind, knowledgeable, and easy going.

Throughout the project, they would send pictures of the progress and were ahead of schedule. When the chairs were finished, I drove to their workshop in Michigan to pick them up. We are very glad we chose to have them build these beautiful chairs which go very well with the table. Neat collaboration betweeen truly talented builders.

The cabinet makers were very thoughtful and answered all questions and even asked some very good ones of their own.

The final result was beautiful, we love them, minimal and gorgeous.

The bookcase looks great. I think it ended up being a blend of Amy's style (based on her portfolio) and mine, which is fine. She was very helpful and collaborative, sending me updates and a sample of the finish by mail. She worked with me to produce a great piece at a reasonable price. I highly recommend her.
