I wanted to replace two toy boxes that I purchased off of Wayfair that were cheap and not adding to the feng shui in My Home. I have followed Derek on Instagram and Facebook and have admired his work For a while. He made two toy boxes out of beautiful walnut in such a swift amount of time and hand-delivered them to me.
