David S wanted some industrial style shelving and a desk for the NYC apartment he and his wife were moving into. We used 1" square metal stock, darkened and distressed. Wood was furniture grade red oak plywood, distressed and stained.

    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!

    This project was a small one, but one that needed some real expertise. I found that expertise in M. Karl Inc. I am more than happy with the finished product. It turned out better than I even imagined it could. I would certainly work with this builder again because of how easy the whole project turned out to be. M. Karl is friendly and easy to talk with about whatever it is you want made. I loved the whole process because the builder listened to me and suggested better ways of building than I was even aware of. Everything was good about this experience. Thank you M. Karl Inc!!
