919 Design

I have delayed writing the review of my "craft storage" project because I was hoping the problems could be resolved and it would be a great piece. However, after waiting two months I have given up (and it seems Scot has too). Unfortunately, I would not work with Nineonenine Designs again and I would not recommend him. I provided a detailed drawing and size specifications that would support what I wished this project would accomplish and he fell short of following those. I asked to see photographs while it was being made and there was no communication or photographs along the way. If there had been, I believe it would have come together. Not only did the project fall short of the specifications, I cannot open or close the drawers without a tremendous struggle and there is no back on it, which makes it look incomplete and would allow items to fall out. If the project had been built for what it was intended, I was willing to overlook the imperfections, like the staples showing through the wood on the front and the cabinet doors not coming together, just to name a couple. Although we are 70 miles apart (I did originally pick it up), I provided many options for Scot to take the piece back and improve on it. Although he did offer to make me an additional smaller piece to help accomplish what I wanted to do, I do not want two pieces to do a job when one should do the trick. Now 2+ months later he has asked me to appreciate the project, which I am disappointed to say I cannot. As many people have told me, I should not have paid for and taken the piece to begin with.

Scot was very understanding of what I wanted in the project. He did a great job on my dresser and nightstand. Scot was able to replicate the design in the pictures I had sent showing what I wanted the design to be. He even offered to rebuilt another dresser and nightstand I was getting built when it didn't come out exactly as my sister wanted. We are now having Scot built a mirror and two bookshelves since he is good and offers affordable prices for the projects.

I had a great experience working with this company. I will definitely be using them again in the very near future. And would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
