Charlie Brannon is a gift from God. After almost 40 years in Atlanta, my husband I fulfilled our dream of moving cross-country to retire in a log home in the foothills of the Front Range. Almost immediately upon our arrival, I began sourcing manufacturers of log furniture, intent upon fulfilling my life-long vision of a rustic master bedroom suite. I randomly happened upon the Rustic Aspen Furniture website and knew at once that I'd struck gold. It was abundantly clear that every single piece of the one-of-a-kind, custom furniture and accessories on the pages upon pages of online photos was unique, stunning, well-designed, and meticulously hand-crafted by a highly skilled and seasoned woodworker. My husband has been a master woodworker for over 40 years, so I know a master craftsman when I see one. I called Charlie immediately. In no time at all, he and I established a rapport as if we'd known each other our entire lives. We worked very closely together on myriad details via electronically conveyed emails, texts, pics and phone conversations to create the rustic log furniture of my dreams. And he was no stranger to the process. His whole system, perfected over many years of his passion for the craft, from design concept through engineering to log selection to the awe-inspiring finished product, is deeply intuitive, thoughtfully approached, painstakingly detailed, precisely calculated and expertly executed. The care, love and pride he puts into every piece is evident, and no request or detail is too big or too small. Moreover, Charlie goes the extra mile...MANY of them! He even delivers his own furniture whenever possible! On our prearranged delivery date, Charlie set out at 3:00 in the morning in a blinding snowstorm and drove more than half of the seven-hour drive across the state in a half a foot of snow. Talk about commitment and determination! AND he arrived at the exact time he said he would days earlier before snow had been forecast. After all the work we'd done together by email, text and phone, meeting Charlie in our driveway was like welcoming home a long-awaited family member. He is THE nicest guy, an absolute pleasure to be around and converse with, a kind soul, and a fine gentleman. He filled our home with wonderful energy, inspiring conversation, and some of the most gorgeous furniture I've ever seen. I began to cry as it was coming through the door, it was so overwhelmingly beautiful. What he created for us, even after having provided our own details, far surpassed our wildest dreams. That night, after five-months of renovation, my husband and I got to spend our first night in our new home surrounded by our new bedroom furniture. We felt as if we were guests at some luxury rustic resort. I was speechless for at least a week. If you can't tell by now, Charlie Brannon is the whole package...and then some. If outstanding, unique, expertly-crafted, reasonably-priced, fine, custom rustic furniture is what you're after, look no further. Charlie Brannon and his Rustic Aspen Furniture are the pot of gold AND the...
   Read moreI ordered approximately $24000 worth of Rustic Aspen Log Furniture for my lodge near Yellowstone in March of 2015 for a mid May delivery. I was assured there would be no problem by owner Charles. By late May I was in a panic as we'd sold all the old furniture in anticipation of the new arriving. When Charles did finally arrive in late May he had only a part of the order so my rooms only got part of their furniture! and peak season was a week away. He assured me he'd return with the rest by 6-7 as he had another delivery to bring at same time. He finally showed with the remainder of our furniture on 7-4!!!!!!!!!! that's right on July 4th weekend. I was pissed to say the least. Had a hard time shaking his hand when he left as I'd already been given some bad reviews for missing night stands and desk chairs and stools. The furniture quality is great but the service was lousy. Make sure you have a tighter agreement than I had if you deal with Charles. I've made a lot of deals over the yrs with a hand shake and have rarely had a problem but I finally got stuck trusting...
   Read moreI purchased a massive aspen log bed from Charles Brannon at Rustic Aspen Furniture. Charles agreed to deliver and set up the bed free of charge. I had plenty of help lined up because the bed was so large and heavy. We had to take the bed up the stairs to the bedroom. The bed was so large Charles had to take it apart to get it up the stairs. Charles had this can do attitude and set up the bed once we got it upstairs. The bed is the most beautiful aspen bed I have ever seen. I had looked over many aspen log beds in retail furniture stores, and Charles price for this bed was half what I would have paid elsewhere, and better quality. Don't hesitate to do business with Rustic Aspen Furniture and Charles. He's a wonderful person, and his craftsmanship is...
