Country Style Bookcase

We are happy with the finished product and would order from him again should the need arise. I would recommend him. There was a misunderstanding in communication regarding the drawer sizes which Mr. McGregor corrected at no extra charge. I would suggest that if you are ordering a custom made vanity or any other project to request a sketch or provide a sketch yourself and make sure that everyone is on the same page. Mr. McGregor has a well equipped shop and has years of experience. Our daughter and her husband are thinking of ordering a custom vanity themselves.

Received out cabinet yesterday and are totally satisfied. Everything was perfect. Was very easy to work with.

Started very well. Pat had no problems with some minor changes I made to his original vanity shown and agreed to build some other cabinets to go along with the vanity. Proposed sending stain samples and photos as work progressed neither of which did I receive until ready for shipment. The stain, I ended up going to HD and viewing in the paint department. No big deal. Earlier photos would I think have saved a redoing of one piece of a middle drawer and the disappointment of the drawer fronts. The middle drawer was actually my fault as a gave him one wrong dimension and he agreed to fix it at additional cost. The drawer fronts, however, I felt did not match the beauty of the doors on the vanity and the cabinets. Earlier photos may have corrected the drawers more to my liking, but may not have corrected the incorrect dimension. Shipping was fast except the cabinets should have had some shipping foam around them inside the cardboard boxes due to the unavoidable movement inside that caused some chaffing of the corners. The chaffing removed some of the stain. In addition one corner was damaged and split that luckily can be covered by some trim. Had the split continued that cabinet would be ruined. Overall, with the exception of the doors, I would rate the cabinets as a B, they did not strike your eye as a totally finished product.

Aurelio Voltaire

For Aurelio's Armoire

Mar 15, 2016

The coffin-shaped armoire arrived and I couldn't be happier with it! Pat made it exactly to my specifications. It's just amazing! The price was absolutely fantastic and he included shipping!!! The shipping was terminal to terminal which made me a bit nervous because I'd never done that before and it meant having to rent a vehicle and go out to New Jersey ( from Manhattan ) to get the armoire. But all in all, it was really not a big deal and the Fed Ex freight personal were a pleasure to work with. My only criticism was that the packing could have been a bit better but honestly, for the AMAZING price, the AMAZING workmanship and the speed with which he made the item and how quickly it shipped, I really can't complain at all. I will be very proudly featuring this piece in my upcoming webshow "Gothic Homemaking with Aurelio Voltaire" on Youtube. I can't recommend Pat enough, seriously! His work is fantastic!!! I'm really, really pleased! Aurelio Voltaire www.voltaire.net

Exactly what I had ordered!

Pat was a real pleasure to work with
