Kelp Shark Sofa/Entry Table ( 昆布サメ Konbu Same)

Dana Valley is easy to work with. He's conscientious and meticulous. We are delighted with the overall project and will definitely work with him again.

What started off a a great project ended terribly. Dana built a rustic table top for us an promised he would secure it to our base. The top was full of large gaps - it was made of thin wood and he did not secure it. In fact it could fall on any one of our children and hurt them (or worse). When we tried to discuss with him, he picked up his tools - turned off his phone - and left.

I initially posted an extremely positive review for Dana. I loved my table and found him to be a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, when the table developed an enormous crack, and I contacted him multiple times and sent photos, Dana never replied. I'm so disappointed and contacted Custom Made Support to allow me to change my review.

Very happy with the custom coffee table Dana Valley has created for us. I can see the dedication and time he put into it. He is timely in responding to any questions or concerns via email or message through custommade.com. He delivered the table straight to our home as promised. The completion time was a little delayed by few days but it was still close to estimated date. He had a few other orders to finish before ours. This can be expected with any custom made orders, we would not want them to rush any projects and cut corners. I would rather have him put the necessary time and care to do things right, and we got exactly what we wanted. Thank you Dana Valley, I would highly recommend to you, 5 stars all around!

Dana did an exquisite job on our custom bed for our daughter. He thought of everything and once it was assembled, we were delighted. He is also very prompt with communication.

Took a bit of time but that's ok, everything went fine overall except the final product just wasn't really what I hoped for. The stain is far off, and now I need to spend more money on an additional professional locally to finish it better. I have certainly learned if I go custom, use local, the fact they couldn't come and see the products they were trying to match in real life and only via photos really put a damper on this entire project. That aside Dana's communication is probably second to none and is as helpful as can be.

Dana was an absolute pleasure to deal with! He was excited about the challenge, communicated very professionally every detail,kept me updated with pictures & status of our order constantly, delivered an amazingly difficult project! Couldn't be happier & can't wait to get more done through him! Highly recommend, true professional & an artist!

I absolutely love the table and it exceeded my expectations! Dana was in consistent contact through the production, sent updates as promised, made suggestions and finished early. He was very knowledgeable, professional and clearly very talented! Everyone who had seen my table loves it as much as I do and some have asked for his information for projects. I would with confidence recommend Dana at Thubder Valley Art and hope to hire him again when I have need for another custom piece!

Dana made me a beautiful wall-mounted dining table for my small San Francisco kitchen. He was easy to communicate with throughout the process and very willing to accommodate some special requests, such as using a particular wood finish. The finished result exceeded my expectations. I would definitely hire him again.

Happy with the final product :)

Really happy with what he did for me working with Black Walnut on a budget, two things that usually don't go together. Thanks again!

Working with Dana was a really superb experience. He is friendly, thoughtful, and professional; not to mention a very skilled craftsman. He delivered a truly unique and beautiful king-size bed frame on a very tight timeline. I was really ecstatic when I saw the finished product, it well exceeded my expectations. His pricing was more than reasonable. Dana was very open to my design inspirations, and then brought his own ideas and touches to the piece, but never without my approval. Thank you Dana!

I am EXTREMELY happy with the final product. My dog, Ollie, has the BEST looking doggie den in Los Angeles! Dana was pleasant to work with and easy to contact and talk to. He listened to my ideas and concerns with the product and was able to create an amazing piece. I will definitely be working with him in the future.

Dana was great to work with. He delivered by tansu bases exactly on time and was very professional. I would recommend him!

I am very happy with this project...Dana did a good job... I am going to use this art display for years to come...

Dana did a wonderful job with our bench. He kept us in the loop throughout the process and even now, writes to ensure we are pleased with the final product. He is a pleasure to work with and will definitely do more work with him again in the future.

Absolutely thrilled with Dana. He was on spot with communication and did fulfill the project as I asked. The finished project was a disappointment but my fault as I invisioned my table differently. Dana went out of his way to accommodate my instructions. The table is pretty however and I would ask Dana to do another project. He delivered the table and bench in person and we were happy to meet him. I rate him a 5 star and would do the same for my table and bench as I instructed.

The table looks just as I wanted and far exceeded my expectations . This maker was great to work with I will use him again for future furniture.

My wife and I couldn't be any happier with Dana's work. We invested in a beautiful live-edge slab of Parota and looked for quite some time for someone who could create a headboard with floating side tables from the one slab. Dana took on the challenge and came through on-time and on-budget. The work was spectacular! His oil finish and install was professional and absolutely the best. We have additional projects we're looking at and will definitely utilize Dana's services again. Great person and master woodworker.
