Cherry And Maple Buffet And Matching Wall Cabinets
The clients have an appreciation for art and fine craftsmanship and asked me to design a cabinet and shelving for their dining room alcove. Their dining table was cherry so I suggested cherry with maple inlaid elements. I presented 2 color-rendered design options and they chose this design. The cabinet is solid cherry and has breadboard doors with walnut pins. The 2 drawers have box joint construction and the center bottom drawer is a drop down door secured with magnets. The top cabinets feature maple inlaid doors, glass windows and adjustable glass shelves.

Apr 23, 2022The table is stunning! Delivered in great condition and according to what I requested. The price is what I would have expected to pay at a retail store and I got EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you Mark!

Nov 1, 2021For my husband and me, family dinner is sacrosanct but we never could find the table that fit our needs and taste. Mark brought our dream table to life and made it so sturdy we will be sure to enjoy it with grandkids someday. Not only is the table a perfect union of beauty and function, Mark delivered the table personally which meant very much to us because obviously he cares just as much as we do.

Oct 26, 2020I am thrilled about how my coffee table turned out: design, quality, and craftsmanship. Mark was so helpful and patient throughout the design process. He understood what I wanted based on photos of other designs I sent him and he came up with the perfect design. He designed a piece that has minimalist and clean lines, yet that has all the storage that was so important to me as a condo dweller. The workmanship and attention to detail is apparent in the piece. I now have the perfect coffee table for my space that is unique, yet timeless. I cannot recommend Mark enough, whether collaborating with him on a unique design or purchasing a design he already has thought out, as the quality will be second to none.
