Customer Reviews
Laurel Fioravanti
Jul 11, 2016This was a great project from start to finish. I was nervous to start because 1. I've never "designed" furniture before and 2. This process occurred entirely via the Custom Made communication tools. Ben was amazing. He made suggestions, communicated with lots of photos and made adjustments based on my feedback. I wanted a table that would stand up to day to day use, little kids and a giant puppy and not only did I get what I wanted, thanks to Ben, I got a beautiful piece of furniture. The furniture was a great value and much much nicer than anything I could purchase from a large retailer.

Sep 17, 2015From start to finish this project was a breeze... I sent Ben a few drawings of what I was looking for, he addressed a few necessary design changes and quickly delivered a beautiful product. It was extremely affordable, especially for the care and work we can see it the piece--Ben brought my drawings to life! His pieces are part of my traveling display and we have already been getting compliments.

May 30, 2013Ben was flexible enough to show us a variety of potential woods when we realized reclaimed elm would be hard to come by, different finishing techniques to give the aged look we wanted, and even different base options for our table. This made me feel like I was really part of the creation of our coffee table, and even if it doesn't look that different than something you could find in a store, I know it was made with care and love right here in the Mid-Atlantic by a local artisan.

Apr 23, 2013Moonlight Forge was fantastic. Communication, ideas, finished product... all A's in my book. Cost was reasonable and Ben was very knowledgeable. The stand I had designed was built exactly to my specifications. Ben even offered some great ideas to improve the project along the way. Can't be happier!

Apr 10, 2013This was our first Custom Made experience but certainly won't be our last - we could not be happier! Ben was AWESOME to work with and so instrumental in helping to shape our vision. He offered great suggestions and kept us in the loop with weekly updates and snapshots. Not only is the finished table beautifully made and exactly what we were looking for, but we feel like we've made a new friend in the process. Thanks, Ben!
