When they say custom designs they mean it! We had a custom size dining table we needed to fit a tight space. We visited the store in La Jolla meeting Brittany for the first time. The shop is full of beautiful pieces - all of them a virtual work of art. Brittany showed us several different tables making sure she had a good idea of what we were looking for.

Quality: 5/5 the pieces are beautiful, and deliver on exactly what John sketched out for us. It is clear great pride is taken in the work. Site visits were made to ensure the pieces would fit seamlessly in the space, and, during installation, extra time was taken to make additional adjustments. note-I have only had the piece for about a month so I cannot speak to longevity.
