I wrote a review and it vanished. Ok, Alex is wonderful. He is so talented in furniture design and furniture making, and he’s an artist! He took a piece of brand new furniture and reduced the size to fit my space. His workmanship is impeccable. We shared ideas, and his knowledge and vision helped create a usable piece of furniture for me.

Sanding & Refinishing of Dining TableWe had a tired old table that really needed a second life, and Alex made it happen. He stripped off the old finish, sanded it smooth, and gave it a gorgeous new coat. Now it looks like something out of a design magazine. Super happy with the result!
