For this piece I selected a round live edge piece of maple. What drew me to this piece of wood was the crack in it. I then inlaid walnut bow ties to give it strength and stability. For the base I used 1 1/4" steel tube in a clean modern style. This is a studio piece that was made on spec, so it is available for purchase. I can also customize it with different wood or size. This one is about 40"-36" in diameter and 18" high.

For Industrial Inspired Bar StoolUnfortunately, I never got around to posting a review of the stools I ordered from Donald a few years back -- Sorry Donald! The stools are beautiful and I have received countless compliments about them from people that have seen them. The are surprisingly comfortable too as we got the "scooped" out. Love these stool!

For Spalted Maple And Steel Coffee TableBeing that this is the first time I ordered a custome piece of furniture over the Internet was very nurvous. Rebekah at Donald Mee Designs spent a lot of time communicating with me to keep me calm. She sent pictures and helped me decide on slab and design. I had one day available to deliver the pieces and she was able to have them delivered on that day. Rebekah stayed in communication with me till I had confirmation of delivery time. The tables were delivered and we absolutely love them. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars on value is that I'm inexperienced on the cost of custom furniture. I paid a lot more than I expected but love the tables so much that I think it was worth it. These two pieces will now be the center pieces of our living room. I would definitely recommend working with Donald Mee and will again myself if the need arises.

For Rare Bastogne Walnut Dining Table With Steel And Walnut BaseThe custom table I ordered was the zebra wood dining table with steel arches. It is absolutely stunning! Rebekah and Donald were a dream to work with. They were professional, patient and truly listened to every last detail so that the table would look exactly as I envisioned it. Rebekah was understanding during a few moments of panic and the table is definitely a show stopper. The communication with the shipping company was a little challenging, but in the end my table was delivered in perfect condition. I highly recommend Donald Mee Designs. He is a true artist and Rebekah is an absolute sweetheart. I would definitely order from them again! /Users/Owner/Desktop/Zebrawood Table.jpg

For Sycamore And Steel Dinning TableWe actually decided to by a single slab sycamore table and it turned out great. Excellent communication from Rebekah throughout the project. Met delivery timeline and delivery was free inside 300 miles- and great to talk with Donald who delivered it himself.

For Black Walnut Live Edge Dining TableDonald is an amazing artist. He took an idea I had and added his own twist to make a dining table that is truly spectacular. The wood he selected is gorgeous and his finishing allowed the natural beauty to be gorgeously showcased. His leg design was stunning and something I have not see before. I would definitely choose him again.

For Industrial Inspired Bar StoolExcellent communication and follow-up by Donald and Rebekah from start to finish. Timely response on all questions and they provided thoughtful options to all our questions throughout the process. Communication with the shipper leaves room for improvement. Shipping is taking longer than expected, and have yet to receive response from them regarding tracking info. Anticipate we will be pleased with the final product when they arrive. No hesitation recommending Donald Mee Designs for your custom project.

For Walnut Slab Dining TableWe hired Donald to build an 8 foot custom live edge Walnut bar height table for our new office space in San Francisco. His communication was superb and he kept me updated on the project from start to finish. I sent him a few examples of what we had in mind and he even sent me photos of raw slabs from the lumber yard for us to pick from and custom sketched different table legs for us. Long story short, Donald was a pleasure to work with and our new table is definitely the highlight of our office and everyone's favorite piece. I've already been asked for his contact information from 3 of my coworkers! I highly recommend him. Thanks, Donald!

For Hi Mr. Mee,Donald did a wonderful job on a custom walnut slab/steel coffee table for our family room. He selected a large walnut slab after consultation with us and we worked closely together on the design and construction of our table. Donald was always very responsive and accommodating to our requests and was forthcoming with information about the status of our project. It was a pleasure dealing with Donald and we hope to work with him again in the future on another project.
