  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I am a 55 year old, that has never tired of playing with wood. An old German man instilled in me the love of creating art with wood while I was a young boy, it has burned in me for the past half century. Everything from custom homes to antique furniture repair and more.

I pride myself in giving a customer more than they expect. My pieces are unique and personal for myself and my customer. I work to make heirloom pieces that will be used for generations. Using the highest quality material available, with no compromises in quality.

I stand behind my work because I love what I do and with that ethic, I have yet to receive a bad review or have a customer that was not pleased with my product.

    Working with Papa was fantastic. We're so happy with the cabinet. It's exactly what we wanted -- it looks beautiful, the craftsmanship is great and it was a fair price for this beautiful piece. Overall a great experience with Papa and with Custom Made. We'd absolutely recommend Papa to friends and family, and we'd use Custom Made again for other projects.

    I'm not sure if I can fully explain how happy my wife and I are with the Dining Room Chairs that Papa Steele made for us. They are absolutely , beautiful. True heirlooms that my family will enjoy for years to come. I feel sorry for my children because I know the will be debating who will inherit them. Little do they know my wife and I are going to stay around a lot longer than they ever expected, just so we can continue to enjoy them. Thank you so very much, they are just what we wanted.

    Wonderful person. Completed our bar stools on time, and even though we have some revisions on the final product he made good on his end. Would definitely use him again if the need arose.

    Papa Steele Designs was great to work with. They easily understood the concept that I was looking for and translated it into a physical item with precision. I was kept well informed of the progress of the project with both verbal and photo updates. They were also willing to drive the item half way to me in order to avoid shipping costs. At my request the item was shipped and unfortunately damaged by the carrier. Without hesitation Papa and his team arranged for an inspection and return of the broken component for repair at no expense to me. They have been great to work with and I have a custom piece that I can expect to last a lifetime. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a custom wood fabrication!
