Industrial Table/Benches

From the very beginning of the project, Dwayne was a pleasure to work with. 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.

It's funny and stunning how easy Papa Steele made it for us to get this project done. Actually it's a gorgeous 2" thick 12' x 4" tiger maple table with 10 chairs and two bench chairs.

Papa made it affordable and his patience and flexibility were evident from the beginning. It's a family effort with Mama Steele and their highly skilled son and even their beautiful grand daughter prancing across the table like an elf on flowertops to demonstrate the strength of near finished project.

With photos to show us each step of the process and patient collaboration on general design, structural details and Papa even had to drive out of State to get our materials when they were delivered to the wrong place!

Because the table alone is 500 lbs they arrranged for white glove delivery to bring in and set up the table instead of curbside service that was included in the bid.

Each artist/maker here has their particular strengths. Yet Papa Steele gave us everything we wanted and more and found a way to make it financially viable.

Everytime I look at this table I will remember the family that took time and effort and clearly with love to share this with all our friends and family.

This is not just the wonderful heart stuff. This is high-level fabrication skill, flexibility and absolutely on time.

So for highly-skilled, timely, affordable quality and memorable work to be done,… clearly you now know to make a trusted friend of this family as I feel we have done.

With great love and respect,

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.

Papa 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.

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.
