Jun 2, 2018I requested a watch box with a small adjustments to what was displayed. Nick was very accommodating and customized everything to my liking as well as communicating the process along the way. The final product was shipped with such great care; it looked better than the pictures! I couldn't be more pleased with the Nick's work. Well worth your investment.

Apr 24, 2018I could not be happier with the beautiful cherry mantle shelf Nick made for us. We negotiated a custom size and Nick was clear to communicate with. The mantle came when promised and was very well packed for shipping. Most importantly, the workmanship is stunning. I was nervous ordering online from someone I didn't know but I can wholeheartedly recommend Nick's workmanship and professionalism.

Jun 22, 2016Nick Jones is a cut above compared to any other seller on the Internet. I have never purchased anything through custommade.com but after this experience I will consider it more often. Never experienced something to be as well maintained and packaged as the watch box I received. Craftsmanship is top notch, photos do not do any justice.

Aug 19, 2015The final product was beautiful, the photos barely did it justice. I was very happy with the way Nick was able to quickly get in touch with me, and had no problem converting the inside of the box to a jewelry case for my wife, and added a custom plate for the inside. Thanks for your expertise, it was great working with you.

Jan 27, 2015Working with Nick was a no brainer. I needed a very specific piece and with his guidance he was able to help me select the components to create something very unique. He sent me pictures throughout the process and kept me updated at least weekly. His craftsman ship was better than what could be seen in the pictures. I recommend working with Nick if you have the opportunity. My husband loved his gift!
