For Metal Frame Desk / ShelvesWorking 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.
Diane Morgan
For Diane's coffee tableWhen 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.
