5 out of 5 starsEverything about this bed is wonderful and just what we wanted. It is lovely and sturdy and will be handed down for generations. Shaka Studios was very responsive and communicative throughout the process, and I asked many questions. These people are a pleasure to work with and their product is beautiful. I absolutely cannot recommend them highly enough. I am very grateful that I found them.

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love my bed! It is elegant and well made. The owners were easy to work with and were patient with all my requests for measurements, etc. Having them deliver it themselves and put it together was a big plus. Truly professional and artists as well.

5 out of 5 starsWords cannot describe how beautiful this piece came out. It is the show piece of our family room and receives compliments from everyone who sees it. Kandas and Shane were wonderful to work with...very patient with us in designing a custom piece. For anyone looking to have a quality piece of furniture made to their wishes, this is the place to go!

5 out of 5 starsBed came early and was incredibly easy to assemble (took less than 15 minutes). My main concern with buying a bed online was how sturdy it would be -- no one wants to sleep in a wobbly bed. This bed is REALLY solid. No wiggling, no squeaks, no movement. It feels as solid as if it were part of the house. It also looks much more expensive than it is. This is the biggest etsy purchase I have ever made and also the easiest. The shop kept me apprised of every stage of building and shipping the bed. Stop waffling, put down the Pottery Barn catalogue and buy a bed from Shaka Studios.
