For Donna's Ceiling LightI searched everywhere for the perfect kitchen ceiling light…local stores, on line, catalogs…but nothing seemed like the right fit. Some came close, but I wasn't settling. Contacted Custom Made since I had a piece made (liquor cabinet) a few months ago which turned out great. Reviewed many profiles and thought Richard's work was the best suited for my project. He contacted me quickly, coordinated the specifics of my light fixture, kept me informed of each step of the process, and instructed me on the simple assembly and installation. Great care and creativity are apparent in this piece and it is a perfect complement to my recently renovated kitchen.

For Stand to hold trumpet while playingThe project was amazing. Richard took my few design ideas and made them a reality with his expertise, and created something truly unique. He designed and built a useful and durable product that fits exactly what I wanted. He was also very quick to respond to my messages. The only problem was delivery, which was over a week later than expected, and required extra payment, but this was due to it being an overseas delivery and delay at customs, which would not apply if you were in the US. He also produced a product which was great value. I would certainly work with Richard again if I needed a similar project.

For michael's Floor LampWe could not be happier with the the process of working with Richard and the finished project. The light is exactly what we wanted- even better thanks to RIchard's creativity and skill. He communicated clearly and promptly and fully embraced our design concept yet he professionally brought up better options along the way. Even the installation directions were crystal clear. For a custom job, Richard and Cold Steel Art are the right choice.

For Metal Quote SignI am very happy with the workmanship of the custom metal quote sign Richard made for me. The project was completed in a very timely manner. Richard's communication about my project was excellent and exactly what I wanted. I already plan to use Richard again for more custom metal projects!

For Erika's metalworkFrom start to finish this was a great experience. Richard was timely in providing an estimate/bid. He asked good questions to get to the specifics of what would be best for the project. He thought of creative and artistic ideas. And the final result was fantastic and better than I expected. I would highly recommend working with Richard.
