Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a custom furniture maker with more than twenty five years of experience making fine furniture.
I have designed, built, and shipped several large pieces of furniture to customers who placed orders through CustomMade.com. The furniture has been well received. Customers usually comment on the quality of the piece(s), the materials, and the level of craftsmanship.
To ensure that the furniture you receive meets or exceeds your expectations we need to communicate often to discuss the details of the piece, especially the color, finish, and overall dimensions.
I look forward to hearing from you about your ideas and how we can collaborate on creating them.

For Retail Display For Essential Oil Bottles5.0David made several great suggestions that improved on my original custom design. This was not for holding vials of essential oils, the vials hold rock samples taken every 10 feet from the surface down to 340 feet while we were drilling our well. The display shows an interesting variation of rock types at different depths. You'd have to be a geologist to really appreciate this display. Looks museum-grade. 5 stars all around!

For Small Tray With Handle5.0I received David's Small Tray with Handle. It's a beautifully designed and crafted small piece. Great wood selection and careful attention to details like a turned handle with two thin lines, slight angle to the sides, brass nail heads, and floating bottom panels. Excellent value. Highly recommend David's craftmanship.

For Cherry Jewelry Box4.8The craftsmanship is a work of art and everything I had hoped for in this one of a kind event. For me, the custom jewelry box was for my wife’s 60th birthday, so my expectations were very high with no latitude for delays. David did not disappoint in any way and his communication throughout the project was deeply appreciated. I would highly recommend the amazing talent and professionalism he provides.

For Large Jewelry Box In Cherry.4.8David was a pleasure to work with and my jewelry box is exactly as ordered. I am very, very pleased. The box was delivered a tad later than expected, but it was due to David's attention to detail and his wanting to ensure that the box was well-made. The first box he built was not up to his standards, so he made a second one rather than shipping what he believed was a substandard one and waiting to see if it would be acceptable to me. It was well worth the wait. Furthermore, David was in contact with me throughout and kept me apprised of how things were progressing and the reason for the delay. The box was arrived well packaged so that this beautiful work of art was protected during shipping. I would do business with David again in a heartbeat. He is a true craftsman!

For Andrew's belt+holder5.0David Klenk put up with a lot. I knew what i wanted but couldn't describe it well. He had to talk me through it a hundred times and when we were finished I had a great product. So great, in fact, I bought an extra one. This guy is patient and can help clarify what you want, which isn't always how you start out. On top of all that he was fast to communicate and the packing might have been a more spectacular project than what I asked for. You can't go wrong with David Klenk.
