This is a solid cherry armoir that was commisioned. The drawers are dove tailed with poplar as a secondary. The drawers and necklace panels are all lined with black velvet. The lid is held open by a wooden hinge that slides across a multiple stop point block. It looked better that the commercially available ones. A very happy customer!

For 60 X 60 Square Dining Room Table With Tiered Tuscany Pedestal BasePapa Steele was great to work with. My project was a custom table. I provided inspirational pictures and concept and Papa Steele replied quickly with a fair quote. We communicated via phone several times and he kept me informed of the progress of my project. He even sent me several samples of the stain colors on the wood so I could actually see what I wanted. The project was sent from TN to TX and was very well crated and contained. HERE IS THE BEST PART : The table exceeded my expectations and is absolutely gorgeous. Since my table was not a standard one Papa Steele had to be creative with some engineering to do what I wanted. The craftsmanship, and quality of the material used was amazing. He was very easy to work with, was timely in communication, and is a great craftsman. I am very satisfied with my beautiful table.

He was very understanding of our desires and listened to our input in the design process; his suggestions for improvements were thoughtful and extremely clever. His workmanship is careful and sure. He was always timely in communicating every part of the process. He created a lovely and timeless piece of furniture that we will treasure for generations.

For Sofa/console table ProjectWe love our new sofa table. It's a beautiful and well built piece of furniture superior to anything we could find at the store. It was built to our exact specifications and Papa communicated with us every step of the way. We can't wait to have Papa build our next piece of furniture.

For Wall mounted desk ProjectI was thrilled with Papa Steele's Service and Finished product. I was a bit leery after already having one failed attempt to get the item built with another custom made vendor, but I could not be happier. Thanks Papa Steele!
