What Our Customers Have to Say

We found Receptive Design on etsy after an exhaustive search for a table to fit our unique space.  We had a banquet built against our kitchen countertop and underneath a staircase which limited the dimensions of the table and measurements had to be exact ensure a proper fit.  Mark was really easy to work with and spent lots of time helping us assist him in getting the dimensions to ensure a perfect fit. Mark kept me in the loop throughout the construction of the table and delivered the finished product right on time.  During the build he sent me pictures and even re-stained the table at no additional cost when the first stain was slightly lighter than my wife and I had hoped. He took great care in getting the table up our stairs (we live in a 4 floor walk-up) and the table looks great in the new space.  I would have no trepidations about using Mark again and his craftsmanship is evident in the finished product. Thanks Mark!

Working with Mark was an easy, and stress free way to get the furniture I truly wanted. Although it may take longer, the pieces Mark has crafted for me are much better quality than anything found in a furniture store.  I am so happy with my furniture, and cannot wait to enjoy them for years to come.  Thanks Mark!!

We love our table.  It’s a conversation piece every time we have guests.  We use it WAY more than our old table and really appreciate your expert craftsmanship.  Shannon has decided to have every guest that visits sign underneath.  We have a big list already. Thank you so much.
