For Diego TableSeeking a unique dining table for our recently purchased
1920s vintage home, Mark's Diego table was exactly what we wanted: stylish, well crafted and cleverly engineered.
Communication and shipping were easy and punctual. We had a few specialized requests for the piece that were well accommodated. I look forward to working with Mark again as we continue to settle in to our new home. Thanks Mark!

For Minimalist Modern Dining Table In MapleFor 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.
