Built In Dresser And Closet Before And After
One of my favorite parts of custom built in's in the problem solving. In this situation the customers were adopting a child and needed to make a small bedroom more functional. You can see in the before photo's that there was an existing space to hang clothes, but just below that was literally just a hole in the wall. We decided to leave the existing hanging space untouched to keep the budget down, but to bring the face of the dresser to the ceiling to help make the built in look more like a complete unit instead of an afterthought. We decided to leave the upper half open for the sake of simplicity, but if needed doors can easily be added in the future for hidden storage. The whole unit is built from white oak. This is a hard, durable wood that should stand up to years of use from a child.

For Dining Table Project4.3Well, almost two years after we received our table from Thomas Furniture Studio, we realized we never reviewed it. And now that it is two years later we can say unequivocally that we got exactly what we wanted and that it is of incredibly high quality. Our table is standing up to twice daily use by a kid and a toddler, looks great (especially with our mis-matched chairs), and has ZERO defects. We can wholeheartedly recommend Thomas Furniture Studio. We're sorry we didn't review MUCH earlier.

For Desk5.0Going into this project, I had high expectations for my new desk. I had few requirements, but a high quality product was at the top of the list. The desk also needed to raise/lower via a motor, be able to support a laser printer, multiple monitors, laptops and the other various accouterments that are typically found on a desk. I also wanted a high quality wood - not a particle board with a veneer finish, but something solid and substantial. I searched for quite some time at pre-built options then came across this website and decided to give it a try. Enter Thomas Furniture Studio - Jeff did some research, shared some drawings and ideas and then was able to execute on the design. We like his work so much that are are dreaming up new projects for him. We ended up with a terrific maple desk that not only has all of the form / function we were looking for but it's also a beautiful piece of furniture. Would recommend Jeff and will hire him again.

For Rick's Media Cabinet5.0Jeff Thomas did an excellent job with designing and building our media cabinet. It is perfect in every respect! Jeff's woodworking skills are exceptional. He matched our existing mantle and other alder wood trim. The result exceeded our expectations from his ability to provide guidance to our original plan to how he made sure we have access to cable and electrical outlets behind this built in cabinet. We highly recommend Jeff and will use him again as the need arises. It was an enjoyable experience all around.
