Very helpful and friendly people and some beautiful items in the shop. You're free to browse through the selection of wood and then negotiate a price. Definitely would come again if I needed wood

New custom media unit with storage designed, stained, finished, and built on site at home. Absolutely perfect, could not get a better fit to the space. Already looking at some other custom pieces to be built over the next few months. Thank you!
