For Red Oak Decorative Bench5.0Fantastic end to end experience. Richard at Dovetails and Stitches truly did an outstanding job with “Old Friends”- our bench for our kids. Richard was prompt in communicating and explained the process well. We are exceptionally happy with the finished project. Hope to have something else for them to work on soon!

For Reclaimed Honeycomb Hexagon Geometric Shelves, Nursery Shelves, Hexagon Shelf, Texas Weathed Wood5.0Richard was wonderful to work with. He listened to my wishes and came through shining. The project looks perfect and exactly what I was looking for. He allowed me to finish the project myself and also sent me a bonus with a beautiful gift. I will definitely contact Customemade again for future projects.

For Payment for New Doors3.8This is a difficult review. I contacted several people thru CustomMade regarding building a cabinet for under our TV that would hold all the related electronic equipment. I chose Richard Louis with Dovetail and Stiches. The good: Richard was easy to work with, helped with the design, and was quick to answer any questions. The finished product was beautifully crafted and well made. The bad: The stained finish is not quite what I wanted and does not match the example photos I sent to Richard. The colors in the photos he sent me of the finished product before shipping don’t really match the unit in person. This is not necessarily Richard’s fault, just disappointing. Chaulk it up to the camera or the computer monitor. This is the problem with having something built where you can’t check on the product as it is being made. I will probably try to sand the unit down and re-stain or paint it. The ugly: After it was complete, Richard sent photos of the finished product. Two sections of the wood framing the doors were significantly darker than all other parts of the doors and of the main cabinet, which looked terrible. Richard said that was just the nature of wood, but for an additional $330, he could change it! His claim of 100% customer satisfaction came at a cost. Additionally, when it arrived there was a small stain on the top that did not seem to come from the crate the unit was shipped in and was not shown in any photos. Bottom line, I could have bought a similar piece in a retail store for half the cost, and considering the extra charge to address what should have been done right to begin with, I would not recommend Dovetail and Stiches.
