For Concrete, Steel, And Live Edge Walnut TableI had a good experience with Pete. He is professional and very quick to respond to questions. Although I do love the table I got, it wasn't 100% what I'd initially asked for.
We ordered a wood and epoxy river table with a brown/bronze color steel base. We paused in the middle of the job when Pete sent some progress pictures as the epoxy hadn't come out like I had hoped. We had exchanged many pictures during the planning process so I was fairly confident he knew what we wanted. The epoxy came out with this marbled effect. It looked like the epoxy wasn't stirred and had swirls in it. It is pretty, but again, not exactly what I asked for. There are also a few bubbles in the epoxy. Lastly, the top coat, what he used to seal the surface, isn't flawless. It is streaky and noticeable. There are some cracks in the welds of the steel base and the color of the base is hardly brown. It's the darkest brown ever that basically just looks black.
Pete coordinated for us to have white glove installation with a company he has used before (he's in Colorado and we are in New York). Although they ultimately did deliver the table there were some miscommunications here too. They didn't tell us that they could only deliver on a weekday, causing us to have to take off from work for the delivery. On the day of delivery, the driver called me several times. He didn't really speak English so communicating was very difficult. He kept telling us he was here but when we buzzed him into the building he never came up. I'd call him back and he would tell me something different. It took about an hour from when they said they had arrived to when the table was actually in our apartment.
All in all, we do like what we got but I'd give the whole experience a solid B+. I think things could have been done better. I will say that Pete was incredibly nice and professional the whole time but I do wish things had come out perfectly.

For Concrete, Steel, And Live Edge Walnut TableI am an interior designer working on my own kitchen. I wanted something different and unique for the kitchen table and Pete did just that for me. He was very professional, communicative, drew up sketches so I could pick different options and it truly came out beautifully. I can't thank you enough and will definitely be using him again on a future project!

For bathroom sink/base, shower bench with rock and concreteWe are very pleased with our custom concrete sink and shower bench. Pete brought a variety of sink molds for us to choose from, and having them at our house instead of just in his workshop or in a photo helped make the decision easy. He has made many beautiful bath sinks, so he steered us to the right faucets and drain placement too!
Many thanks! Joan and Bob Knecht, Eldorado Springs, Co.
