What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Elliott Design - Custom Furniture has earned a following in Plymouth through clients who return for further commissions, some having engaged the workshop for pieces in more than one property. David Elliott is named consistently in feedback, with the process described as starting from a thorough conversation, followed by drawings and agreement on suitable materials, samples supplied for sign-off and updates given as work advanced. Output covers built-in wardrobes that sit flush within a wall, shelving and cabinetry shaped for alcoves in a Victorian terrace, a bathroom cabinet made to measure with hidden lighting at floor level, and other fitted items tailored to their setting.

Craftsmanship attracts steady approval, with meticulous detailing, a refined finish and designs that draw favourable comments from visitors. Customers often highlight how easy the journey proves, from the first consultation through to installation, with their input sought at each stage and a professional manner maintained. Agreed sums are honoured without additional charges arising, and the workspace is left tidy once fitting concludes. A couple of accounts single out keen pricing beside the standard achieved, and one notes the breadth of work taken on. The furniture produced lifts the rooms it occupies.

David has produced all our carpentry work from built-in invisible wardrobes, beautiful bookshelves and most recently a completely bespoke bathroom cabinet with concealed low level lighting. I’ve got to say his work is first rate (and I’m particular), he is always on budget and his attention to detail and service is faultless. He even works tidy and cleans up after himself. You’d have to go a long way to beat all that.

Yet another very good job by David. This man could do anything. I'm putting him on speed dial.

Dave is absolutely brilliant, I can’t recommend him highly enough. Dave designed and made our bookshelves and cupboards in our dining room and living room alcoves for our period Victorian terrace renovation. From consultation to design and installation, Dave’s attention to detail is absolutely top notch. He is meticulous and an incredibly skilled carpenter, we are so happy with the design and finish and have received so many compliments on the bookshelves and cupboards. We are very pleased, and plan to get Dave back to do further carpentry jobs in the house.

Third time for using David Elliott to build furniture in different homes. Starting with detailed discussion he prepared drawings and agreed on the best type of materials to use, He kept us informed of the progress and brought samples for our approval. The finished products blend especially well with each of the rooms - a great improvement.
