    Carley is a terrifically skilled crafts woman. She worked with us to customize our gate design to perfectly fit our specifications. She delivered the finished product in a timely manner on schedule and resolved a few minor issues caused by the shipper with professionalism and courtesy. She is a delight to work with. Would certainly recommend her for any unique hand crafted work.

    For Modern 54" Round Walnut Coffee Table (and matching side table tops)
    5.0

    Iron Mountain Forge & Furniture did an amazing job with my coffee table design. It looks gorgeous, fits our furniture and space perfectly, and exactly matches our style. To get something similar that doesn't quite fit what we needed would have been significantly more expensive. Through the entire process, they were extremely helpful and communicative. They even threw in extra matching boards that we could use with a pair of cheap Ikea side tables to make very expensive looking side tables. I would definitely recommend them, and will definitely keep them in mind for future projects.

    I 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.

    The sign didn't come out quite the way I envisioned, It could have been made alittle better, quality wise. The sign also arrived really dirty, covered in black charcoal? And dirt. The sign wasn't worth the amount I paid, if I would have paid half of what I paid it would have been reasonable for what I received. I appreciate carly taking on the challenge but I was expecting more, especially better quality for what I paid.

    Not quite what I wanted, communication on the finished product wasn't great. Overall we found a different use for the product and it fits well. I found another vendor to provide what I need to my specification at the same cost. Overall pleasant to work with just not quite what I wanted.
