Customers rate this shop highly, but the reviews focus on one craftsman. Reviewers describe him as responsive by text, precise, and easy to work with. Many say the prices felt fair for the quality they received. Most reviews praise furniture repair and restoration, including dressers, couches, chairs, and an antique table. Custom work also gets strong marks, such as a media wall with a fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling built-in in an older home.
