I ordered a bench based on the one pictured here--I sketched up the dimensions and gave Matt the go-ahead to proceed at his whim. I wanted a very sturdy bench that could take a beating for our entry way from lake to lower level. He even used an old wooden water ski and attached the rubber foot-holds to the side for a nice quirky touch. The bench came slightly scratched because the crate top came apart in shipping, but no major damage--I was going for a reclaimed look anyway. Shipped from Texas to Milwaukee,WI so it traveled!

We're so happy we found this shop on Etsy!! Matt is a very skilled craftsman and was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He had excellent communication and wanted to make sure we had a piece we loved. We gave him a little direction to start but left a lot of the design up to him and he took off with it. He created a table top that we absolutely love and is perfect for our space - far beyond our expectations. He's a great guy to work with and we can't recommend this shop highly enough. He even told us some stories about the different woods he used! Such a cool piece. Thanks Matt!!

I absolutely love my bench! Matt was great to work with and created something much better than I'd imagined initally. He kept me up to date on the progress all along the way and welcomed any feedback or changes along the way if I'd had any.

I absolutely love my table that Matt created! He gave me full say over the pattern, style, colors, and wood choices and maintained consistent and thorough communication throughout. He was open minded and willing to try a pattern he had never done before. He gave me not only a table but a conversation piece, a family heirloom, and a piece of art that will be with me the rest of my life I'm sure. I'm so pleased to have this handcrafted table with me for years ahead, and I've already started the memory making with friends and family. So thrilled to have this as the gathering point and center of my kitchen! I most highly recommend Matt, because 1) he's awesomely talented, eco-conscious, and willing to please, 2) he's a heck of a nice guy and will deliver with excellence!
