Chris has done multiple projects for us including a bespoke built in wardrobe in our bedroom. He is meticulous, has an incredible eye for detail and incredibly neat. He is thoughtful in his design and how he approaches each piece of work. He is very honest and transparent about timescales, what is feasible and pricing. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him.
Chris is a long standing friend and when he started to produce furniture it was always something I hoped to be able to purchase. We commissioned a small shoe rack which he made a beautiful job of producing. Over time the care and detail that is incorporated into this shows through and I hope we get to have some bigger items in due course.
Chris made us a drinks cabinet, which looks beautiful in our living room. Stunning craftsmanship. Highly recommend.
We’re extremely happy to have some of Chris’s exceptional work in our house (Kanna Wall Clock & Enid’s Hooks 3). The objects he designs are a perfect mix of simplicity and elegance. We’d love to commission a larger piece in the future. Thank you Chris
Chris made a beautiful walnut cabinet that is scribed seamlessly onto our wall despite the wall being highly uneven. His work is of exceptional quality and his designs are clean, practical and proportioned. We have more projects lined up for him.
Chris has completed several projects for us over the last few years (summer house in the garden, dining table, bedside tables and fitted wardrobe). We keep going back to him because his work is absolutely incredible. His attention to detail is amazing and the finished products are such high quality. He is a really approachable and friendly person to discuss ideas and plans with, and a lovely presence in the house when he's working or delivering items. Thanks so much Chris!
Chris has done a number of furniture and joinery jobs for us over recent years and I’d keep going back to him for any further commissions as the work has always been to incredibly high standards. We have two fitted wardrobes that fit the room to perfection and 3 bespoke bookshelves to fit some awkwardly sized spaces in my office. All were designed to our needs and meticulously assembled on site. Great quality workmanship!
