They built a cat hammock for me. It is solid and well built and standing up to the tres gatos very well.

Sorry to report - They did some built-in shelves for me, they didn't measure right and had to re-do them -- and then they charged me an extra 300 pesos for having to rework the shelves, because of their bad measurements. Took months to get the shelves.
Had them build a platform to put 2 recliners on top of -- simple rectangle - finish is nice and the platform is sturdy. Gave them written spec's with all measurements,they left out the 2 "mouseholes" they were supposed to cut for running wires under the platform. Didn't return it for them to do those holes as had had to borrow a truck to pick it up with, just cut and sanded them ourselves.

I've had them make several items: a bookcase stained to match my Japanese cabinet; a Japanese-style lamp; and a dressing table that is a modification of a Japanese Tansu step chest. All turned out very well. The finish on the dressing table is really beautiful, lacquer black. If I need or want anything else, I will definitely go back to them.
