I don’t normally do reviews, but have to say, you deserve this one and I would have felt guilty not doing so. I also appreciate the opportunity to show off our finished project. ?

Like many of us during recent times, we were stuck at home. We are a family of four that typically is doing something and staying busy. We needed a project to keep that going and honestly to find more purpose each day above work / school or watching negative news on TV.

My son (16) is taking a construction class at his high school. He needed to do a at home project. Well, since mom and dad’s Friday night “date nights” were on hold, we jokingly said, “let’s make our own pub!” As we were searching for bar designs we came across one on your site. It was perfect! Off we began building. It was coming along so well, that we needed to make sure the finish work was professional grade, NOT amateur grade. That’s where your company came in. The wood, the cuts, shipping packaging and even delivery time was absolutely flawless. I often say that things are not done with the same level of craftsmanship as they use to be, but you gave me hope that it still exists. Thank you for what you do and the level of professionalism you do it with. Enjoy the pictures of what you all helped us create. (Please feel free to pull from this any part(s) that you see fit for your site, as I would be delighted to share more broadly in an effort to promote your business)

Paul, Your help was greatly appreciated in the completion of the bar I built for the American Legion in Ocean City, NJ. The mahogany bar rail and bottom rail went very well with the Heart Pine.  The quality of the wood was great.  If you are ever in Ocean City, stop by for a drink. I have attached a picture of the  finished product.
