    The table Chris crafted is absolutely stunning! He even added some extra touches to make it better than what I had initially asked for. Really happy with the finished product.

    Christopher made us a beautiful custom bookcase (10' wide x 8' tall) distressed solid white oak, with barn doors and built in baseboard radiator covers. We are extremely pleased. We spoke over the phone a few times and used text messaging to confirm that we were on the same page with the design. He was always easy to reach and very responsive. He mailed a very carefully drawn/professional drawing before starting to build it, and his assistant personally came to our house to install the bookcase. Thanks Chris!

    DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY he does great work but it takes over a year to get anything and I haven't even got all of the project yet.. I am so mad right now I cannot contain myself. If I don't get a ship date today of the rest of the piece I am contacting my bank for a fraud investigation on this 5k albatros. For the last 5 days I have tried to get a hold of him and even had his cell which is now filled up with messages.. so I am not holding my breath.. this whole experience has sucked.

    These came out great and are exactly what I wanted. I'd absolutely work with CL again. He is clearly a master cabinet maker who takes pride in his work. Communication was spare- frustrating at first but I just think this is his style. He did respond each time with only one brief delay. Some little details were lost but nothing important. Like the others my pieces were a month past the date. Seems timing might is his one issue but that's not terribly unusual. I give the benefit of the doubt to craftspeople who have to take many projects on to make any profit. Next time though I would stay on top of the process a bit more if time is of the essence. I weigh priorities with all of these aspects. In this case the finished product was most important to me and I was delighted with that.
