For Contemporary Railing3.5Final product is great. Carley is great. She texted us progress photos along the way. My only MAJOR complaint is with the freight company. R&L carriers were terrible. First obstacle, I work out of town and stay away 7 days at a time. Getting them to hold the item until my wife wasn't working and could accept it was a challenge. He stated they weren't "obligated" to hold it beyond 72 hours. Not sure if that meant he planned to send it back or what. We compromised. Next, they arrived and pulled the 400 lb, crated product off the truck. The deliverer "Bill" stated that it was too heavy to pull up the driveway on hand truck and he wasn't "obligated to put it in the garage" and LITERALLY left it sitting at the base of our driveway where it sat for 2 full days in the weather until she could find someone to help get it in the house! Truly, it was SO unprofessional. No fault of the artistan, but I strongly suggest she find a different carrier.

For Art Nouveau Style Shelf5.0I am very pleased with the finish, shape, durability and ease of installation of my beautiful cherry and iron shelf. It is a focal point of my entry way. The package arrived on time and in perfect condition. Definitely a great value for a custom piece.
