Testimonials
What Steve’s clients say…
"Thank you very much for the kitchen oak table and matching bench seat. I can’t quite believe what I see everyday. The joy and the pleasure I get from seeing these beautiful pieces of furniture is very cathartic and gratifying. It has enhanced our new kitchen and dining room to a warm, cosy and peaceful place to be. Thank you once again and happy new year."
Gerald Baker
Tichfield, Hampshire (January 2020)
"Steve made us a bespoke high oak bar table and stools for my kitchen. It couldn't have been simpler. We discussed design and dimensions by phone and opted for a natural edge - which really sets off the piece. We added drawers which adds to its functionality and my kids love them - claiming one each! The end product is a beautifully crafted wooden centerpiece which I couldn't be happier with. I wholeheartedly recommend Steve and his craftsmanship."

I can’t wait till lockdown ends and friends can come for dinner and admire your incredible work ... Many thanks again from a very satisfied customer!“

“Hope you got back okay! Just wanted to say how absolutely delighted we are with the table. We cannot stop looking at it! You are so talented. We love the way you have brought out the character of the wood and you have clearly put a great effort into the chairs too. Thank you!! As a wedding present from my parents, it is such a special piece and will stay with us a lifetime.”

“Charles has just got back from work (having only seen the photos I sent him earlier!) and we are both indeed delighted with the table! Thank you so much for all your work on this - it’s beautiful, the finish, the grain, the colour and the shape are just wonderful and what we were after. And, as I said to the boys, and having now tried out all our chairs, we think we will need a few chairs to really set it off, so we’ll be visiting again soon, I hope.”
Charles & Mary Bacon
Beaconsfield, Bucks
“Absolutely fantastic!!! We love the table and chairs!!! Even better than expected!! Thank you so much and thank the lads for making the long journey!! I will send you some pics next week once our curtains and blinds are up on the dining room! Thanks again and merry Christmas to you!!”
Ffion Jones
Anglesey, Wales
“I had to email to say how absolutely chuffed to bits I am with our new dining room table. It's exactly what we wanted and it looks divine. It fits perfectly into the space and looks just right with our unusual dining chairs. My son was laughing at me this morning as he caught me stroking it absent mindedly as I sat drinking my tea. Don't care! 🙂 Thanks so much for managing to make just what we wanted from one rambling conversation! Happy Christmas!”
Ali Richardson
Winchester, Hampshire
“Hi Steven, Just got back as I have been away and I have to tell you we love the table. We thought it would be something special and it has surpassed both of our expectations by a million miles!!”

Utterly delighted. Thank you so much. Was seamless from start to finish. Hope you get your orders out and you get a breather over the Christmas holidays.”
Karen Byrne

”Our table is absolutely gorgeous, perfect!! You have done everything we asked for and more. I don’t think I have ever had anything so beautifully crafted, it is worth every penny. Also, thank you to the delivery guys for being so careful. Great service, fabulous product. Thank you so much, we are chuffed to bits :-)”
Tracey Rickard

"Thank you for the amazing bench - it's a triumph!! It works beautifully with the table, and is so comfortable. Together they make a very special feature in the breakfast room. We really appreciate your hard work on it."
Angus Tallini
Manton, Marlborough
"Thank you so much for our wonderful table, which has so much character, and the fantastic sideboard - they fit perfectly in the space and look absolutely beautiful and thank you also for your guidance when we were deciding on exactly what we wanted. It was pure luck we happened across your showroom and how lucky we were. We are utterly delighted with the outcome! Please also pass our thanks onto the guys who delivered the furniture - they were great."
Bob & Hilda Deane
Abingdon, Hampshire
"We got back from London last night and the first thing we did was race in to see our tables - stunning!!! James and I are really thrilled - they look beautiful and fit perfectly in the room. As you say the table - in fact both - have lots of interest and are just the right tone. We love the table legs echoing our beams, and the console is the perfect balance of contemporary and oriental to tie in with our Chinese chest. Will send you some photos. Next to arrive is the rug and then the finishing touches of lamps and artwork! All very exciting."
Rebecca Cundall
York, Yorkshire
"We are delighted with the two new tables; they look terrific and really finish off the room well. Thanks also to Callum for easing the drawers in the sideboard, they now glide beautifully. We talked to Callum about the possibility of your making some bedside cabinets for us in the New Year. We have a limited amount of space and can't find anything that would fit at the moment ... Happy Christmas to you and Callum and thanks again for two more stunning pieces of furniture."
Rosemary Heasman
Fleet, Hampshire
"We have had our first meal around the table. Such a pleasure! The table is beautifully crafted. Thank you for interpreting exactly what we wanted. Thanks also to the chaps who came. They were brilliant."
Susan Payne
Lincoln, Lincolnshire
“Thank you for all your time, patience and advice when it came to choosing the right table for us. It made such a difference that we were able to make it a family experience and to include a couple of special details chosen by the boys. When friends and family are round and see the table for the first time, they very proudly point out their contributions. The way Max talks about it you’d think he’d designed and then made the table himself. Who knows, maybe we have a carpenter in the making. I’ll have to let you know in 10 years time.”
Nick Bentley
Stockbridge, Hampshire
“It makes me so happy to at last have the table that I’ve always wanted. I’d really begun to think it would never happen and I’d have to settle for second best. I hadn’t realised how hard it would be to find a well-made, traditional looking round pedestal table. I thought it was something that would never be out of fashion. Thank you so much for all your help and guidance on the sizing and making the most of the space available. I’m now saving up for the chairs and will be in touch again soon."
Sally-Ann Meyers
Winchester, Hampshire
“A quick note to say thank you so much for our new table and for all your help. Being able to speak with you right from the start made such a difference. When I first started looking for a table, I wouldn’t have imagined that we could end up with one that’s handmade in solid wood and yet that looks so fresh and modern. We’ve so enjoyed designing our table with you and having the freedom to choose exactly what we want that we can’t stop spreading the word. Friends are really impressed and also surprised when they find out how reasonable it was. I’m sure you’ll be getting more orders … and what’s so nice is that regardless, no one else will end up with a table quite like ours.”
Gemma Attersley
Battersea Rise, London
“I had to write to say thank you so much for delivering our beautiful table to us just in time for all the visitors. It has exactly the character and charm that we were looking for and is just such a pleasure to use. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was for us all to sit round it at Christmas. Mike and I took pride of place at either end in our new chairs. The bench was just perfect for squeezing in all the grandchildren. It felt like a perfect way to welcome the table into the family and there are already hints about who would like to inherit it in the future!”
Trudy Jones
Christchurch, Dorset
“We often think of you when we’re sat around our new dining table with family and friends. How fortunate that you were recommended to us. It was rather disheartening trawling around the shops being either uninspired or taken aback at the cost of the tables that were closer to what we were looking for. Your passion and knowledge gave us both the confidence to take the plunge and go down the custom route. When we first started looking we would never have thought that we could have such a fabulous, unique table at the price of many mass produced tables. Thank you so much.”
Clive Davies
Richmond, London
"Just wanted to let you know that the table is now part of the family, much admired by all who visit and absolutely loved by its owners! It seems as if it’s always been ours and I still have to stop Tony from hugging it in front of guests! So thank you so much for all the skill, love and care that you put into it. We couldn’t be more pleased."
Jane Linden
Bramley, Hampshire
"I would like to say once again that Trish and I are delighted with the furniture. Several friends have seen it already and everyone is blown away by the timber and the craftsmanship. I am very glad I found you on my web search. Every time I walk in the room I look at it and a big smile comes on my face. Coming away from our visit to your showroom I had a feeling that we had found the source of exactly what I was hoping for. Now the furniture is in place it significantly exceeds my already high expectations. I could not be a happier customer."
