Louise Struble
For Contemporary New Metal Gate Modern Urban Pedestrian Walk Iron Art Garden GateCarley is a terrifically skilled crafts woman. She worked with us to customize our gate design to perfectly fit our specifications. She delivered the finished product in a timely manner on schedule and resolved a few minor issues caused by the shipper with professionalism and courtesy. She is a delight to work with. Would certainly recommend her for any unique hand crafted work.

For Modern 54" Round Walnut Coffee Table (and matching side table tops)Iron Mountain Forge & Furniture did an amazing job with my coffee table design. It looks gorgeous, fits our furniture and space perfectly, and exactly matches our style. To get something similar that doesn't quite fit what we needed would have been significantly more expensive. Through the entire process, they were extremely helpful and communicative. They even threw in extra matching boards that we could use with a pair of cheap Ikea side tables to make very expensive looking side tables. I would definitely recommend them, and will definitely keep them in mind for future projects.
Judith A. Bartley
For Art Nouveau Style ShelfI am very pleased with the finish, shape, durability and ease of installation of my beautiful cherry and iron shelf. It is a focal point of my entry way. The package arrived on time and in perfect condition. Definitely a great value for a custom piece.

Katie Johnson Hamilton

Aliana Lungo-Shapiro
For Aliana's SignI am so thrilled with Carley's work. I know there were some delays due to weather conditions-- Carley was very upfront and communicative about it.

Jerry Hollingsworth
For HOLLINGSWORTH BREWING CO Barrel SignThe sign didn't come out quite the way I envisioned, It could have been made alittle better, quality wise. The sign also arrived really dirty, covered in black charcoal? And dirt. The sign wasn't worth the amount I paid, if I would have paid half of what I paid it would have been reasonable for what I received. I appreciate carly taking on the challenge but I was expecting more, especially better quality for what I paid.

For Jennifer's ArtworkTom Sanders

Shannon Jarrett
For Wrench SignFinished product was as described, and it looks great! Thanks for your help on this project.
Derek Zaharko
For Derek's SignNot quite what I wanted, communication on the finished product wasn't great. Overall we found a different use for the product and it fits well. I found another vendor to provide what I need to my specification at the same cost. Overall pleasant to work with just not quite what I wanted.
Zach Kalldin
For Twisted Heart Fire PokerBeautiful!
Matthew Streett
For Matthew's SignCarley was excellent to deal with. Her communication about the design and progress of project was terrific. The work was performed in a timely and professional manner. I was very impressed with the quality of the final product. I will definitely use Carley in the future for other projects and recommend her to my friends.
Lori Christian
For Metal Sillouttes Of Cowboy Or Cowgirl Praying With Their HorseEnd product is exactly what I wanted. Very easy to work with and finished quickly.
Jay Krzewinski
For Contemporary RailingFinal product is great. Carley is great. She texted us progress photos along the way. My only MAJOR complaint is with the freight company. R&L carriers were terrible. First obstacle, I work out of town and stay away 7 days at a time. Getting them to hold the item until my wife wasn't working and could accept it was a challenge. He stated they weren't "obligated" to hold it beyond 72 hours. Not sure if that meant he planned to send it back or what. We compromised. Next, they arrived and pulled the 400 lb, crated product off the truck. The deliverer "Bill" stated that it was too heavy to pull up the driveway on hand truck and he wasn't "obligated to put it in the garage" and LITERALLY left it sitting at the base of our driveway where it sat for 2 full days in the weather until she could find someone to help get it in the house! Truly, it was SO unprofessional. No fault of the artistan, but I strongly suggest she find a different carrier.
Kimberly Ohman
For Industrial Feel Reclaimed Wood Coffee TableWe couldn't be more pleased with the coffee table Carley made for us. She worked with us closely and communicated with us every step of the way. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again!
Fred Hodgson
For Fred's Home & GardenCarley was excellent to deal with - she listened to and offered input on my design, and communicated each step along the way. The final product was exactly what I wanted, and delivered quickly. I would absolutely work with her again!
Christian Bauer
For Christian's benchReceived my custom made bench today and it is excactly what I asked for + more, as Carley gave me regular updates and improvement proposals without changing my basic idea. I will come back for the next project (and I have already someting in mind!).
Dina Johnson
For Decorative Wood Redi-ScreensI enjoyed working with Carley from beginning to end. She proposed the perfect design for our mid-century modern room divider and then produced it for us on time and within our budget. She even managed to create an invisible break between the two pieces so it looks like one seamless work of art in our space!
