Reclaimed Barnwood Reception Desk

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!!

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.

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.

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