    This is the fourth piece of natural wood furniture I've commissioned, and it was by far the fastest and easiest transaction. From initial contact to delivery, everything was exactly as promised and we are thrilled with the desk.

    Michael Heuser @ Witness Tree Studios is a artist in every sense of the word. We purchased a live edge desk that is absolutely stunning in its beauty and without a doubt the most solidly built piece of furniture we own. No detail was missed in making sure this piece last a lifetime and beyond. Even the packaging was so well done we didn't want to put it in the recycling bin. If he builds houses in your area, I would book him now for a custom made home!!

    Michael did an absolutely terrific job on our new table. He followed our wishes and created a beautiful table that my wife just cant stop talking about. Michael also delivered more than we expected by using a thicker piece of wood than we contracted for, but like a true craftsman he only delivered something that he was proud to put his name and reputation on.

    I'm so happy with our custom walnut sideboard. It's is beautiful and fits our space perfectly. Mike did a great job and worked with our budget. While the final product was pricey, it is very high quality and delivery was a large factor in the overall cost. Delivery was through a third party and there was some miscommunication requiring a redelivery, but that was a relatively minor inconvenience. I would recommend Mike for anyone looking for a beautiful and well-made piece.

    Couldn't be happier. Presented what I wanted, WTS followed up with wanting photos and close up pics of just where this piece was going to go...... This was a custom bench that had to notch into existing framing and wall structure, so there was no margin for error. WTS got it 100% accurate. Perfect fit, perfect finish, perfect look. Exactly what I was looking for and it was delivered exactly as we had worked out.

    If you want a beautiful custom piece, in a timely, collaborative fashion, Michael and Witness Tree are the way to go. I researched for months for a coffee table with specific dimensions and a look and feel. There are a lot of good makers and designed out there, but Michael took the whole experience to the next level. The response, communications, time to manufacture, and most important, the product were outstanding! I needed a smaller footprint of a live edge table and the end result is stunning. Witness Tree is the real deal!

    Michael was quick to contact me and respond. The table is absolute perfection! I was stunned by how really lovely it is. I would highly recommend him both for his craftsmanship and his caring concern for his customers. Also, it was crated beautifully and, since I was getting new carpet for the room, he kindly held off sending it until it has a place to be admired on the new carpeting. The table came two days after the carpet did. :-) Couldn't be happier.

    Mike got a very clear understanding of what I was looking for in a piece and executed it perfectly. He was open and always responsive to inquiries during the build process and turned the piece around in the time we agreed on. His work was great and he was great to work with. If I have furniture design ideas in the future, I will surely contact him again.

    The finished desk is nothing short of perfect. Beautiful wood and the craftsmanship is impeccable. Michael was excellent and timely with communication and very patient with me in terms of making decisions and with artistic choices in the creation of the desk. Always willing to send me pictures of options and of the desk during the process so I could help make a piece I am truly proud of. I could not be happier and I would recommend this craftsman to anyone without reservations.
