As an Interior Designer/Decorator, I want only the best for my clients. Most of my projects require at least one custom made product. Whether it's window treatments, cushions, art or furniture. This project required a custom sized table to fit in front of a custom designed and built banquette. My client wanted a specific stain color and tone as well as a specific table base. Matt is beyond professional and his workmanship is top notch. My client is more than happy - thrilled would be the better word! Matt really listens to the requirements and wishes - delivers on all points. I would highly recommend working with Matt. Extremely happy. Really looking forward to working with Matt again on the next project! Martha Nazzaro Grace~full Interiors Reading, MA

Working with Matthew was an excellent experience and I'm happy very with the final products. My desk and shelves came out even better than I had hoped. Matthew is knowlegable, flexible, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend his services without reservation.

Excellent communication; good work and great value. Anything I need made in wood I would definitively reach out again.

We had a great experience having Matt build our barn doors. He built them exactly to our specs, on time, and even helped with delivery and install. A true craftsman and professional - we would definitely want to work with him on any future projects.

Excellent experience. Great end product. Highly reccomend

My experience with Mark was excellent. He is knowledgeable, helpful, creative and talented. I appreciate that he was patient with me as the design fluctuated. Definitely would use him again.

Matthew Karl did a good job.

Matt is knowledgeable, communicative and professional. He helped with the design phase and asked the right questions to ensure a quality product. I recommend Matt.

Matt created and delivered exactly what we were looking for and even suggested elements we hadn't considered that made the project even better. He was always extremely responsive and organized, and he walked us through the process so that we always knew what to expect, including sending us samples of materials so that we could confirm what we wanted before he used them. He's incredibly talented, and we're very happy that we were able to find him for our project.

Great final product. He put up nicely with my lack of communication. Matt installed the shelves he made and was very flexible about installation. When he arrived, we changed our mind of where we wanted the shelf to go and he agreed to come back to finish the job. And he's a nice guy.

I couldn't be happier with the entire experience working with M.Karl Inc. He was a true professional, prompt, and very helpful in helping me decide on the best options and design for my needs. The finished piece is simply beautiful and shows the high level of Matt's craftsmanship.

Excellent feedback throughout the engagement, a very collaboration to finalize the details of the design, the result is exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended, especially (but not limited to) if you live in NYC metro area.

I really like what he made for me. size, color, shipping etc.. everything perfect!!! thank you so much.

Matt genuinely cared about every aspect of my project and was determined to over deliver—he actually came and made all the measurements himself to ensure that he understood exactly what I needed. He was very flexible and helpful when it came to determining exactly what materials would be best suited to my needs, even though the best solution required more work. Throughout the project, Matt provided multiple updates and finished the project exactly when he said he would. He delivered and installed it personally to make sure everything was perfect (which, of course, it was). I would absolutely use Matt again and highly recommend him.

We worked with Matthew on a custom made loft bed for our 6 year old son. We needed it to be long enough to fit over our existing trundle bed plus the height needed to be lower than the average loft as to not hit our low ceilings. Plus we wanted real wood! Matthew was extremely professional throughout the entire process; kept to schedule, communicated clearly, and was totally responsive to every request ( a removable ladder, a toy box for storage, rails on the side, etc.) He did this and remained within our budget! I would definitely recommend him and will certainly reach out to him again! We love our loft and so does our son.

Matthew made me a beautiful bench! Sturdy and solid. He was thorough about details, which is great since i know so little about wood and carpentry. Friendly, phenomenal service. Absolutely no complaints!!! Thank u matthew

When we ventured out to get a Custom Made coffee table we had no idea what to expect. We took a gamble on Matthew Karl and it TOTALLY paid off. We provided him with a photo of a table we saw online as guidance, gave him measurements, and then the complicated part: we told him how we wanted our table to differ from that in the picture. Keep in mind my husband and I know nothing about wood work. The table was also a little complicated, complete with lift top mechanism so part of it converts to an dining table/desk. Matthew made what could have been a stressful process very easy. He was in constant communication with us, sending us photos of ideas he had, and even met with us in person twice to show us hardware and stain samples. The finished product was absolutely perfect and right in line with our vague request: "slightly distressed but nothing too crazy." My husband and I are now turning into "coaster people" because we love it so much we want it to last. It's also worth mentioning that we were working with a very low budget. Matthew was somehow able to source wood, a lift top mechanism, and other hardware that fell within our means and still resulted in a beautiful piece of furniture. I have already recommended Matthew to several friends that have come over and complimented the table and hope to hire him for more pieces in the future.

I love the table. Matthew was very easy to work with and punctual. He worked with me every step of the way and made an awesome sturdy table. He was able to understand my needs and helped me decide on materials when I had no clue. He made a dream a reality! I would recommend him for projects.

Matthew Karl is an excellent artisan and first class communicator! Outstanding result and a true partnership in its creation. Highest recommendation!
