Testimonials:
Ollie and Shehani
“David is a legend (and a master craftsman). He completely embraced taking this unusual project on and was unfazed by our design aesthetic. We spent a memorable afternoon in his studio looking at various bits of reclaimed timber and colour combinations. He is a brilliant executor and his attention to detail is second to none. He has huge respect for the materials he uses which is very inspiring and in addition is a lovely guy. We hope to work with him again on another crazy project!”
Grazia and Dan:
“Commissioning a piece of furniture is always an uncertain and slightly daunting process, you are trusting someone else to deliver your ideas, and rely on them to understand the level of quality you expect. David was brilliant, he took the time to sit down with us and work out exactly what we wanted, he listened to our ideas and offered constructive solutions. The results are fantastic, and David’s attention to detail is second to none. To top all this off, David is a really nice guy and very easy to work with, he’s always upbeat, and nothing is too much. I know I will definitely be using David’s services in the future and have no hesitation in recommending him to my friends and family”
George & Catherine:
“If pleasing an architect is difficult to do then pleasing two architects is a tall order but David succeeded. David obviously cares about the finished quality of his work and it shows in the precision of his detailing.
He accommodated all of our needs and questions patiently and instilled us with great confidence in his ability. We trust David’s judgement as both a designer and a craftsperson and feel he has the perfect combination of skills that transforms useful storage into much loved pieces of furniture which we will have forever.”
Bill and Nikki:
“Our modern flat lacked storage space, but David designed and then built very effective solutions that were competitively priced, cleverly designed and extremely well constructed. When we sold the flat, buyers spent time looking for expensive labels assuming a firm like Smallbone had built it.
The storage David built for us certainly added to the value when we sold. However, David also built us a beautiful purpose built library – it was just too good to leave behind. I reckon it will follow us everywhere as an heirloom.”
Peter:
“We were delighted with the quality of David’s work. He clearly takes pride in his work and this shows in the quality of the finish, which is impeccable.
He is also very professional, efficient and good value! We have since recommended David’s company to many of our friends and colleagues.”
Jane:
“David designed beautiful shelves to fit the two alcoves in my sitting room and totally transformed the room. His work is very classy indeed. David showed me drawings, samples of materials in advance so that I felt fully involved in the process. When carrying out the work, David was meticulous in ensuring the best quality was achieved and worked neatly and considerately. I am very pleased with the result and would recommend David to anyone who cares about their home.”
Isobel:
“We have been delighted with the work David has done; designing, making and fitting in-built, floor-to-ceiling hallway cupboards for us. He understood the look that we were trying to achieve and turned our idea into a reality, delivering it on time and within a fixed budget. The attention to detail and level of craftsmanship David applied throughout the process was outstanding and the final finish is of a really high quality. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending his work.”
