For Reclaimed Pine Coffee TableRebecca Swenson
For Reclaimed Patchwork Timber Coffee TableIt was a pleasure to work with Dan. The table is fabulous. It arrived on time and there was no damage in shipping. The quality of the work is phenomenal. I highly recommend this artist.

For Reclaimed Pine Coffee TableWe received table yesterday and were able to just attach the finished metal leg supports. The table was expertly design and assembled using the wood referred to in its description. All the necessary assembly hardware was included as well as the tool needed to interface with the hardware. The table was delivered within the promised time frame. The only problem I had was not with the product but with the delivery serviced. They left the box it was shipped in leaning against the side of my garage. Our door bell was never used and consequently anyone could have drive by and helped themselves.

For Reclaimed Pine Coffee TableWe love our custom reclaimed pine coffee table. Dan was easy to work with in deciding on the dimensions and stain for the table. He coordinated with us to drop off a sample of another piece of furniture that we wanted to match. He was professional and great at responding to all of our questions and the coffee table was done very fast. I'm so glad we went this route in customizing a coffee table and we couldn't be happier!

For Patchwork Reclaimed Console TableEverything from concept, customer service, timely with emails, customizing, delivery, through finished product was amazing. It's rare these days to get this kind of service. The console table we had made is absolutely beautiful, better than what we imagined. The variety of wood they use are amazing. I just asked Dan to price out a bookshelf for my wife and I. You wont be disappointed.

For Kristy's Daybed and Counter-height farm table with benchesI am very pleased with the furniture that What We Make created for me. I initially requested a bid for a kitchen table and benches made of reclaimed wood; however, by the time all was said and done, I ended up ordering a desk with bench, tv entertainment center, coffee table and end table. Dan Quinn with What We Make was very professional and a pleasure to work with, so I decided to have What We Make create all my furniture for me. Pricing was extremely reasonable. I absolutely love my new furniture. I highly recommend What We Make; I will definitely be using them again in the future.
