What our customers say

  • 2.7 metre Macrocarpa outdoor dining table with matching benches in a high-wind outdoor area.

    We live in a high wind zone and we lost our last outdoor table in the recent winds. Our new 2.7m table and benches just arrived and we're absolutely stoked with them. The quality of the workmanship is evident, and Duncan was a pleasure to deal with throughout. Can't wait to enjoy the summer days and nights outside now!

  • Custom Macrocarpa indoor dining table with built-in storage made for a tiny house.

    Duncan made us a custom indoor dining table with a storage cubby for our tiny house and we LOVE it. He was great to work with: flexible and helpful. He completed the project in half the time he said he would and delivered it to our rural location. The table is beautiful, sturdy, functional and affordable. Thanks Duncan! We recommend!
