We ordered a custom kitchen island from this company, based on his website and the implication that he was a craftsman who takes pride in his work. We found out the hard way that his woodworking skills were nowhere near what he implied and advertised. The list of deficiencies is as follows (and we have pictures if needed):--the wood used throughout is not "furniture-grade" wood. it appears that scraps or building construction-grade wood was used.--some of the wood has termite damage. --the top is wavy, not flat/smooth--the wood filler is not consistent...some of the wood on the top has spaces where liquids could go right through--the plywood used internally was not treated in any way.--the exterior shelves are not level--all three drawers are not constructed correctly and do not slide smoothly.--numerous places have screws that poke through the wood--a bare minimum, if any, sanding was done on the piece--there are numerous wood-filled holes and spaces that were done improperly and incompletely--you did not include a shelf in the left-side cabinet, as discussed--there are sawdust, leftover wood screws, and even a drill bit left in the cabinet--the side shelves are not adjustable as was discussed. "adjustable" does not mean unscrewing brackets -- it means popping out dowels and easily adjusting the shelves-- the notches for the shelves where they meet the posts are cut at off-angles and are too far from the posts, and the space between each one is different--numerous places where the paint is chipped off and raw wood is exposed--The piece of wood under the drawers is loose and not attached very well.--The top feels very raw like there is no type of coating on it. The frame around the top does not meet up at the corners - it should have been mitre-cut.--numerous instances of over-spraying the red paint.
