Coat Rack

Mr. Harris is an extremely kind craftsman who does beautiful work. He was very accommodating and finished product was way better than what I thought I was building! My experience working with Derrick is watching someone who loves what they do and puts heart into your artful piece, this is old-school craftsmanship that NC was built on.

Derrick expertly crafted a custom sized pasta board for my father for Christmas. My father hasn’t stopped making pasta! The custom size fits perfectly on his counter, and looks absolutely beautiful. He was teary-eyed when we gave it to him. For the price the product was more than I could have hoped for. I’m actually amazed at how reasonable the price was especially considering the amount of work that went into it. I would give 6 stars for value. Derrick was friendly, available and communicative during the whole process. Leave plenty of time for the product to be crafted and delivered! Production took a little longer than expected but I was given a discount as compensation. Totally worth it!

Cutting board turned out beautifully. Great work and great communication. So happy with the whole experience.

My experience with Derrick Harris was outstanding! From the initial meetup, throughout the design, production and delivery of my shoe rack bench, Derrick ensured I was an integral component of the project. He not only asked me pointed questions along the way, he actively listened to my replies and ideas such that the finished shoe rack bench became a joint effort.

FaceTime, texts and email were our forums for communication throughout this project. Prior to each call, Derrick sent me photographs of wood slabs/types of steel/stains/finishes/the overall state of the bench. This made our calls productive as there was a basis from which our discussions then flourished. In addition, when a design/production issue/snag/question occurred, our communication lines were always open for the matter to be timely addressed.

For example, while Derrick painstakingly applied the matte finish to the pecan slab, he reached out to explain he needed additional time to address absorption or sealant issues he had run up against. Another example focused on the soldering of the joints of the criss-crossed steel rack on my bench. I reached out to Derrick, scheduled a call, discussed my dissatisfaction and he re-soldered each joint to perfection. A final example dealt with the shipment/delivery of the finished shoe rack bench. I FaceTimed Derrick as I opened the shipment box. He shared my initial joy and gratitude along with disappointment over a small section of the bench having been slightly damaged in transit. Thinking quick and smart on his feet, Derrick offered to send me the materials I would need to completely address the damage, at no additional charge, and walk me through the process via FaceTime calls to do the right thing. I instantly took Derrick up on his offer and await the next steps.

In conclusion, Derrick Harris is a master carpenter with a brilliant mind and sense of artistry; however, it is his honesty and objective to make his customers beam with satisfaction over a unique, high-quality piece that separates him from all other carpenters. When I am, or one of my friends is, in need of another wooden piece, Derrick Harris is my number one choice.

Derrick was wonderful, very accommodating and friendly. He went out of his way to get exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend his work! Beautiful ?
