Jewelry Box

I am beyond thrilled with my final product, but also with Stan's willingness to work with me. He kept me updated with emails and photos, he was willing to meet with me at a lumber yard to choose a live edge slab for the top, more than reasonably priced in my opinion..

I can't thank Stan enough.

We are very happy with the custom-made oak Bungalow ottoman. We needed a piece a specific size to fit at the entrance to our studio to sit and remove shoes and could not find anything ready made commercially that was well made. But Stan made us a beautiful piece that fits exactly the space that is sturdy and fits into the room so nicely. Wd will definitely consider using his services again. Thank you!

Stan built a gorgeous coffee table base of black walnut for me. The workmanship was first rate, and Stan responded quickly to all my queries. He was great to work with, and he even schlepped the base all the way to Manhattan for me to make sure it arrived safely. Highly recommend!

Very happy with our finished product, the desk is beautiful. Stan was great to work with from start to finish. We hope to do business again!

It's August 16th, 2017. We've just unpacked the replacement table that Mr. Tetrault sent after the original table that he made for us arrived damaged due to an inadequate packaging job for shipping such an item. The original table was gouged and scraped in shipping and a piece of the wood was split. Mr. Tetrault demonstrated integrity and professionalism during the negotiation for a remedy to this situation. We developed an understanding of a few changes and a price change for a second table that would be shipped professionally by a furniture shipment professional. We paid him the difference. The second table has been both hastily constructed as well as damaged in delivery. It's like a loose tooth. every joint is wobbly and off of true. The table feet are chipped and paired by movement in the shipping box. The shipment packaging was clearly not done by a furniture shipping professional. Mr. Tetrault has used extensive shimming and untrue joints in this piece for some reason. The original table did not have this kind of shoddy construction. The one thing I can say about the second (replacement) table is that we like the stain color better as it is closer to the stain color I had been originally trying to communicate we desired.

It's tragic that neither table is truly an excellent expression of Mr. Tetrault's craftsmanship. I've learned my lesson about commissioning small craftsman construction over the web. Too many things can go wrong and it is challenging to conduct clear specification conversations regarding stain colors and shipment agreements, etc.. I'm so sorry for both Mr. Tetrault, for whom this must have been a frustrating job, and for ourselves, who have paid a fair full price for a custom made table but we have no table that is not damaged or made poorly. Had the original table been shipped professionally by a furniture shipping professional this whole sad fiasco could have been avoided. That (original) table was constructed far more skillfully than the replacement table was and is a better example of the potential of Mr. Tetrault's crafting skill.
