Just received a fantastic kitchen table and bench custom made by Goldfinch and inspired by furniture we saw in a commercial setting. Engaging design process and great customer care - highest recommendation!

This is the second batch of table tops we have ordered for our restaurant. The quality of workmanship is just as beautiful as the time before. Having gone for oak this time, the wood is an amazing grain. Our first batch of table tops are still going strong. Communication with the team was great and the turn around was quick. All in all we would highly recommend working with Goldfinch

I highly recommend this company. I had a large custom-made wooden shelving/display unit designed, made and fitted by the team at Goldfinch. Every stage of the process was an excellent experience: excellent design suggestions; quality build; flexible modifications as the build developed; high-quality build and fitting; and very attentive after-care service. The finished unit looks amazing.

I would highly recommend the team at Goldfinch who built us a custom tall shelving unit with ladder, a wardrobe and kitchen cabinets within an agreed budget. From initial enquiry and design to installation and snagging the team have been responsive and professional throughout. The design process was what you would hope for and more with detailed drawings provided for review and revision throughout.
Samples of the finishes proposed were provided and it was nice to have the opportunity to visit the workshop on Spa Road. The installation was swift and managed well with the end product exactly
