Report
I came across Rustic Oak after searching locally for a large, solid and heavy oak table for our home. I phoned and spoke to Nick, who was extremely helpful and understood exactly what i was looking for. We arranged a time that i was able to visit his work shop and see what he was able to produced. After a lengthy conversation, lots of measuring and setting out, we agreed on exact sizes that the table would be. Today Nick delivered our table and we could not be more pleased. Its exactly as we expected, if not better. From start to finish Nick has been a pleasure to deal with. Always responding
