Square Tuscan Pedestal Table

Do yourself a huge favor, do not consider using this maker. The worst buying experience of my life. The item was two months late, it didn't even look like it was supposed to. The drawers and cabinet did not function properly, the finish was dull with dents and dings all over. I tried to adjust the cabinet door so that it would open and close without rubbing, after the finish was removed and the corner was rounded I took the door off and noticed that he had put two different hinges on. I asked him to send me a matching pair of hinges, he wanted me to describe what the hinges looked like so he could send one that would match up with one of the two other ones. Finally after going back and forth, we sent me two old, used hinges with dirt and saw dust caked in them. That's not the worst part, I went through this site because I needed a 17 inch narrow vanity for a tight bathroom, mind you that 18 inch and 22 inch are standard. I needed it 17 so I had no choice, he agreed and assured me that it wasn't an issue. After waiting months, he called me and told me that I would have to do a wall mounted faucet because it would not work any other way unless we make it a big larger. I had already purchased the faucet that mounts to the counter top and just being tired of being without a vanity for months I agreed to cot into the door molding to accommodate the larger counter. He had one of his workers deliver it, A- the sink wasn't mounted to the marble, the marble wasn't secured to the vanity and he left it like that. I am somewhat handy so I said "whatever, I'll do the rest" I just need this job complete. The sink didn't even fit into the vanity, I had to completely remove the rear vanity support and shave the front one down to next to nothing in order for it to fit. The vanity had to be off the back wall 2 inches so that the faucet could fit, there is no overhang on the front and the overall size was 18 1/2 inches. That's 1 1/2 inches larger then could fit and 1/2 larger the a standard vanity that I could have bought in Home Depot for $509. All together I paid close to $1,700.00 for a poorly constructed vanity that didn't look like I wanted it to and had to wait 4+ months to receive this travesty. Please, please, please do not put yourself through what I had to endure. ZERO STARS, NEGATIVE STARS IF POSSIBLE

General disappointment. I originally went with this maker because he said he could make it out of 16/4 hardwood - which is vey thick. I created the proposa mid January 2017 and received item July 2017. He kept on saying he'd have it out by certain times like April and I waited patiently. It wasn't worth the wait. I think Christopher probably handles everything himself. My advice would to have someone manage the communication and scheduling. He wasn't honest with his timeline nor did he deliver what I wanted. Had that been the case, I could have found someone local to build my table. 16/4 wood is hard to find in white oak but that is no excuse. I want to continue to support local artisans and craftspeople but surely there's a better way to do that.

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.

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.
