Live Edge Black Walnut

Would have given zero stars if it was an option. I hired Harris Carpentry to build a new conference table for my office in January of 2023. I was given a timeline of 3 months for completion. I finally received my table on June 6th after getting very gruff with him. The table had been packaged improperly and was completely destroyed in shipping, so I had to refuse delivery. I had already paid in full, and the insurance company reimbursed him for the damage to the table. Fast forward to November and I still have no table, have heard every excuse you can possibly fathom, and had to get pretty nasty to get my money back. I did finally receive a full refund at the end of November. Now, a year later, I will be finding somebody else to build me a new table.

Derrick was fantastic to work with. He communicated frequently throughout the process, ensuring our vision for the piece came to life. The quality was excellent and he took great lengths to ensure the piece was packed in a manner that it wouldn't get damaged in shipment. It was an excellent experience and I highly recommend him.

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 ?

Harris Carpentry made sure I got EXACTLY what I wanted. Was kept up to date with the status of the project as it progressed. Very professional and great pricing.

Product was well built, very sturdy, and made from quality materials.

Will return for future projects!

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.
