Every piece is designed to complement your space while offering practical storage solutions tailored to individual preferences.

We ordered a cabinet from Rodney to help organize our trash bins. We are so happy with the finished product! Not only is it practical, but it is a beautiful piece of furniture. Rodney was very professional from the start. It's never a comfortable situation to pay a deposit to someone you've never met, but Rodney provided me with an invoice indicating what was paid and what was remaining. He also kept in contact throughout the time it was being built, providing regular updates and quickly put me at ease! He delivered it to our house at the time that he said he would and everything went very smooth.

We ordered a customized recycle bin for our 55 gallon fish tank! I'm over the moon pleased with our purchase. We asked for one garbage bin and a cupboard instead of three garbage bins! For anyone wanting to buy a fish tank, I recommend this piece as it has wonderful storage, fits comfortably in size and a garbage can for easy access. Great communication and prompt responses when going over specifics and details. Highly Recommend.

We ordered a triple slide out garbage bin and absolutely love it! Rodney was very easy to deal with and delivered it directly to upon completion. It is great quality and beautifully designed. Would highly recommend his work!
