Vinny Lowe

For Vinny's Dining Table

We are really happy with Tom's final piece and the service he provided and it was a pleasure to go through the Custom Made process with him. He was friendly and approachable, and we always felt were in safe hands. We had a table replicated from a provided visuals and specs and he was able to match it supremely well. The only thing we can say was a 'very slight' let down was the final surface detail of our table. Although it does arguably add character, the middle board of our table has a a series of flecks which we were told after construction are due a natural occurrence in oak and the way it was cut. If there was time it may have been nice to have seen the look of the 'ray fleck' beforehand and get the choice to decide if we used the other side of the board or not. However other than that we are supremely happy customers!

Aaron Silber

For Aaron's Bench

Tom Stark, who my wife likes to refer to as "Tony Stark (Iron Man)", was a real pleasure to work with. Tom knows how to serve his customers, a trait that is often lost when dealing with larger furniture companies. Timely, attentive to the details, and always friendly and understanding, you won't be disappointed when working with Tom. I designed a storage bench for my living room and delivered it to Tom through photos and a 3D model (made in Sketchup). He was able to take those plans and expertly craft the piece we wanted. He arrived at our residence at noon on the dot (when he said he would) and I helped him move the well secured and packaged bench into our residence. My wife is very happy with the end result and we wouldn't hesitate to work with Tom again. Trust me, hire Tom Stark!

Tom Stark was great to work with....the whole process went seamless. I look forward to using Custommade in the future.

Maker Policy

As with virtually all custom work, once a project has begun (proposal accepted), refunds are not available. Our intention is to confirm all details before that point so that "changes of mind" are rare to non-existent. Should circumstances arise where there is any kind of dissatisfaction with the project results, we will work with our customer in every way possible to achieve a resolution that will satisfy everyone involved. Differences in appearance between items shown in our listings and the result achieved are due to the natural difference inherent with wood and/or availability of specific detail elements over time. We do not maintain any "stock" items. Every project is built from scratch based on specific requests of our customers. Depending on the nature of the problem and the reason for it, the costs of repair/replacement/adjustment will be the responsibility of the party at fault or shared as circumstances dictate. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer.
