For DresserWill definitely work with Mike again! Being first time custom furniture customers we were very nervous. Mike was patient and he promptly responded to all of our calls and questions. His work is impeccable. We love our dresser, it's exactly what we wanted. No shipping/delivery we picked up.

For David's DeskThe project included four pieces. A basic design was provided for each piece. Stage One Designs was able to make all four pieces, including making modifications for impracticalities in the design. When adjustments were necessary communication from Stage One designs was clear, quick, and friendly. The project did get delayed by two weeks from the original quoted finish date, possibly due to a hurricane, but the pieces turned out beautiful.
Jeffrey Osborne
For Computer Desk and BookcaseMike did a great job on this project. He put up with my inexperience with cherry wood and accommodated my requests. The finished project looks fantastic. I would use him again in the future.

For Dining Table.Many thanks to Mike for this custom table. It is gorgeous! Although Mike ran into a unforeseen delay, he delivered and setup the table for our scheduled family event. He later returned on a separate trip to install the correct pedestals. Very pleased! :-)
Melissa Casler
For Quad Bunk BedMike Staige did a great job building built in bunk beds and dressers to help our three girls each enjoy their own space as they share a small room. There are three bunks with 24 sets of beautiful drawers with boat cleat handles and a door to hide but provide access to the closet. Mike created it in a way that we will be able to disassemble the piece when it is time to move. We are very pleased with the end product and it was worth the wait.

Crystal Daus
For Crystal's BookcaseI absolutely love my custom made bookshelf! Mike was great to work with in designing a bookshelf that would fit my many photo albums. He even matched the piece to furniture I already owned. If I need another custom piece I would work with Mike again, definitely.

For Bedside/End Tables.Mike was very professional; he responded quickly to all messages and provided updates throughout the project. The night stands are constructed very well and the joinery is superb. Pieces arrived ahead of schedule and on budget. I have another project in mind and will definitely used Mike again
Celeste Reinholtz
For maple tableMike's work has exceeded my expectations. I had a vision of what I wanted my dining table to look like. Mike and I brainstormed and revised the plans until it was perfect. Then we worked on it some more and perfected it even more. The finished product is so gorgeous it's like a work of art! Even more beautiful that I expected. He was very communicative and responded to my questions immediately. His price was more than reasonable for the quality of workmanship he gives. I will be contacting him again for some matching pieces!!
Lynn Allen
For Desk ProjectI could not be happier with this process, with Mike, and with my desk. Communication was easy and I have exactly what I wanted to my specs. The desk is absolutely beautiful and I'm so happy to have something I know I'll pass down to my kids rather than unloading on Craigslist in a few years. I also did a lot of shopping around before finding Cutommade and for similar quality through a commercial source, I would have paid more. Thanks, Mike!
Beth Orford
For Beth's Bedside tablesI could not be happier with my bedside tables. They are made of beautiful cherry in a shaker style. I loved working with Mike, he made the process extremely easy and was completely flexible. His expertise and workmanship are superb!!!! He communicated with me at the appropriate times during the process and he delivered the tables in exactly the timeframe promised. And, you should have seen the packing job he did to make sure the tables arrived unharmed. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for beautiful furniture at excellent value.
