Customer Reviews
"Tracie and Tom are 100% AMAZING to work with! Their communication is thorough, prompt and easily interpreted. While Tracie does a phenomenal running the front-end of the business, Tom is the Master Craftsman on the back-end and his exceptional talent has left me in awe. We ordered a custom piece for our two Yorkies and not only needed a piece that would house our pups comfortably and safely, we also desired a piece that would be aesthetically pleasing as a piece of furniture in our primary bedroom. When I first laid eyes on our uncrated piece in our bedroom, I stood there in complete awe at the beauty! It is a multi-function pieces that provides EXACTLY what we were looking for. The craftsmanship is of the highest quality and design, and the finish is stunning"

"Even more beautiful than we imagined, and still adds so much function to our home. Guests no longer enter our home to unsightly dog crates taking up valuable square footage. Now we have a stunning piece of furniture in our entry way that houses our dogs each in their own cozy den, plus drawers for all their treats, leashes, toys, supplements. Tom and the team made it so easy to custom order. Shipping was fast and reliable. The piece arrived in perfect shape. Very well protected. I would not hesitate to order more. Great work!"
