This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am Southern Illinois based designer and custom builder with 18 years experience in metal fabrications, carpentry and custom installations. My background in both sculpture and architecture have helped in developing the capacity to recognize the spatial implications and conceptual potency of the objects with which we interact daily.
I have a particular interest in objects and installations that produce spatial relationships between users, program shifts and versatility, and help the owner/occupant express themselves through the act of dwelling.
I believe in the intuitions of my clients, and work to maintain an open dialogue and a collaborative spirit. As such, I often work in association with area design/build groups and local craftspeople in order to broaden my capacity to serve my clients' interests.
Danny P
For Walnut Bath Vanity CabinetJosh was extremely helpful in the planning stages of my project. His work product was top notch. When we had to purchase different cabinet hardware, I asked him to send me a bill for the difference and he wouldn't accept any more money. This guy is old-school good people. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.
Ray Uy
For Office DeskGreat craftsmanship and Josh provided some very useful design ideas at the outset. Desk was super easy to assemble and exactly the quality I was expecting. If the holes for the outlet wires were a bit bigger, it would've been perfect. Would definitely recommend Object A and will likely use them for future projects. The local station of the shipping provider Josh used made a few errors that resulted in a delay in the delivery.
Greg Trotter
For Greg's Coffee TableI am extremely happy with Joshua and his team at Object A. The craftsmanship and quality of their of their work is simply amazing! They recreated a piece for me from a picture rough dimension estimates. Joshua’s communication was great and he kept me well informed of what was happening when and the speed at which they finished the piece was simply astonishing! I would highly recommend working with Joshua and Object A. I will definitely work with them in the future!
Brian Madonick
For Beetle Kill Pine L-Shaped DeskI love my Beetle Kill Pine Desk. It's unique - lighter wood with black streaks. The workmanship is top notch. Josh talked me through everything and made it easy to buy a piece of custom furniture online. Everything was on time and on budget. I highly recommend Josh to design and build for you.
Linda Hoel
For Linda's Coffee TableI have not received my product yet- I have been waiting and have emailed the maker but have heard nothing from anyone ?????
Mimi Brainard
For Custom vessel sink vanityThus far, I am extremely pleased with Joshua's communication throughout the process and the item itself. In truth, the wooden vanity has not been installed yet, so I must reserve full rating until completion of my project, but at this point he has exceeded my expectations. The vanity arrived yesterday and I opened and inspected it. The shelf is beautiful, unique, well built, functional and I believe, will attach soundly to the wall as meant to. Thank you!
Renata Sotomayor
For Renata's Steel Bench EndsPros: Joshua and I agreed on 2 raw steel bench ends back in October. They are the exact dimensions I requested and I can see his excellent craftsmanship. Cons: The bench ends that arrived are black and I specifically requested raw steel, so I did not receive what I requested/paid for (upfront). Communication was a big problem with this maker - I had to ask CustomMade to intervene after he ignored two (very friendly!) messages inquiring about the status of my order for weeks. They shipped 3 weeks later than what we had agreed upon.

For Custom Walnut Table TopLove my table top. Amazing experience all the way around!
Scott Shamberg
For Scott's Comic Book CabinetsJosh and his team did a great job, my comic book cabinets are phenomenal. My friends and family are very impressed with the quality and design, making it a showpiece for our library. As an added bonus my wife is very happy to have my comic book boxes off the floor and the comics stored in a great looking piece of woodwork. Thanks Josh!

Thomas Taylor
For Thomas' Kitchen Prep Table / IslandJosh did a fantastic job creating a custom prep table for a small alcove in my kitchen. He provided great ideas into the process, produced professional drawings to help visualize the piece, and completed the work on time and to a very high standard. I'm very happy with the piece and would recommend Josh to anyone looking for a piece of custom furniture - he was a pleasure to work with!

Johna Estep-Farmers Ins
For Johna's DeskOur business needed 2 custom made reception desks to complete a small lobby design. We had very specific requests for materials, size and more. The final product we received is even better than we hoped. Joshua and Object A selected the most beautiful cuts of wood for these pieces, which are completed to a smooth and gorgeous finish and exactly meet our specifications. Aside from the final product, another highlight of working with this maker was the detailed and professional information he provided at the start of the project. The drawings and description provided really helped us move forward with confidence that we were on the same page in completing the envisioned design. I am pleased to highly recommend Joshua Ingold and Object A and hope to work with them again!
Rujuta Baijal
For Dresser, Nightstand (2 Nightstands)This is a delayed review for our project. Joshua was very knowledgeable and provided constructive feedback. We had a dresser and two night stands constructed. It's been over a year with these items, and we are very happy with the build quality.
Broderick Miller
For Industrial Iron Pipe Storage ShelfI am over-the-moon happy with the handsome bookshelves built for me by Joshua Ingold. I sent him specific dimensions for a wall space and he delivered to the last detail. The bookshelf structure is the centerpiece of my new loft and has generated many compliments. The piece is regal in its quality - the shelves and fittings are constructed with solid craftsmanship and exquisite style. I could not be happier.
Candace Hawkins
For Candace's Dining Room & KitchenI'm very happy with the kitchen island that Joshua and his apprentice put together for me. We went slightly over budget with shipping and it came a little later than planned but they communicated with me every step of the way and I'm confident that they would have found a way to accommodate my needs had any of that not worked for me. The final project was exactly what I wanted - clean and simple, with extra storage room for my kitchen and colors that tie together the other decor we have going. It was packaged so well I actually had some difficulty getting into it and am now using the sturdy packing materials to make a dog house. I would definitely work with this seller again.
David Mo
For Industrial Reclaimed Wood DeskI would definitely work with Josh again. He is an artist! Our desk is beautiful and fully met all our expectations.
Melinda Welch
For Melinda's DeskWe had a great experience working with Joshua and Object A. We needed to replicate some existing handmade desks and tables as part of an office expansion, and our original carpenter was unavailable. Joshua provided CAD mockups based only on the original quote photos and instantly assured us of his skills and comprehension of the needs. He also took the time to send us stain samples to ensure the finish of the new surfaces matched our existing pieces. He shipped the desks disassembled to save us on transit costs, and everything arrived in perfect shape, extra hardware and all. And the pieces are beautiful and built exactly to spec. The company owners remarked that the Object A desks are nicer than our originals. Well done, Josh. Thank you for the wonderful work.
Brenda Leadley
For Brenda's Dining TableJosh did a beautiful job with my table. The job took longer than expected due to the brass plating which was done by a third party. Josh was very apologetic and offered to cover the shipping. Overall I'm very happy with the end result and would do it again. The table is stunning!
Greg Bowles
For Greg's Picnic TableKimberly Thomas
For Arable Fire Table -- Fine ConcreteThis is an outstanding vendor. The quality of his work is superb. He was extraordinarily responsive and communicated with me often. And when he needed extra time to ensure perfection, he communicated with me well in advance.

claudia centola
For claudia's storage cabinetJosh was great to work with! He sent me several material options along with pricing and his input to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. He was willing to work within my budget. The pieces turned out beautifully. Everyone complements them. They are built extremely well from quality materials.
Lucinda McLaren
For Lucinda's desk2I am thrilled with my project. Josh Ingold was a dream to work with. He communicated well and me good feedback prior to starting. The project was slightly delayed because it was being finished during the holidays and the shipping company failed to contact me to arrange for delivery. Everything from Josh's end was perfect. He went beyond craftsmanship and into true artistry. I would choose him as a Maker for my next project.
Stacy Moher
For Wood and Metal VanityJoshua was an absolute pleasure to work with. He's an incredible craftsman. The finished piece was exactly as we had hoped for and truly beautiful.

I will certainly want to work with him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality, custom item.
