Wonderful job of our dining table

“We were looking online for a local furniture maker and I'm very pleased I found Joey. He did a wonderful job of our very prescriptive brief for a specific size dining table we had drawn up ourselves. It’s American walnut. Joey is very skilled and meticulous.” 

— Gillian Wilma, Takapuna

Custom-built birdcage 

“We needed a custom-built birdcage for our two lorikeets. We’d drawn up some designs and specifications and Joey knocked it all up for us. Excellent job. We hadn’t specified colour but Joey emailed us his suggestion and it turned out to match perfectly the colour of the cabinet it was to sit on top of.”

— Andrea Peters, Auckland CBD

The workmanship is beautiful

“Oh, I’d love some more stuff of his. Joey designed and made our sideboard and a desk after our friend recommended him to us. Really great service and the workmanship is beautiful. The whole process is enjoyable.”

— Jen Simmons, Hillsborough

A final design which was spot on

“Joey was recommended to us when we were wanting a family entertainment unit with a desk included as part of. We took our ideas to him and he drew up some revisions and came up with a final design that was spot on for space and the purpose. Joey delivers nothing less than a high-quality product.”

— Juliet Francis, Greenlane

So passionate about his work

“Joey made a lovely bespoke side table for us. Out of American ash timber. His workmanship is just amazing. So nice to see a young guy be so passionate about his work and particular about how he does it. I came to him with a photo and some ideas of what we wanted and the result is impressive.”

— Wendy Butler, Kerikeri

Excellent value for quality of work 

“We had Joey design and build us a timber reception desk, a meeting table and our kitchen cabinetry for our office. They’re brilliant. Come up with just the right design for our purposes. We get lots of compliments about them. They’re excellent value too for the quality of work they do.”

— Lyndsay Strong, Strong Chartered Accountants

He’ll build stuff nobody else does

“We’re very happy. Joey built us two captains chairs’ with leather cushion seats. Walnut they are. Marvellous chairs. Also made our dining table. He’s certainly perfected his work that's for sure and he’ll build the stuff nobody else is.”

— Calum Macleod

The result is just magnificent

“I was converting a townhouse bedroom into a study and Joey asked me,'' Do you want this to look like an office or a library?” Well, he won me over with that and the result is just magnificent. He’s wrapped shelving around the room and it's so useful. The attention to detail like the trim and the depth of the shelving is just wonderful.”

— Dame Rosanne Meo, Remuera

He did everything, even doors!

“We have a 1920’s workman's cottage that we’ve extended and renovated from a 3bdm single-bathroom home to a two-storey, 6 bdm/ 3 bathroom home. Modern but totally in the old character. It’s been an extensive project we’ve worked with Joey on, but it's totally transformed the place. He did everything, even custom doors between rooms. Magnificent work.”

— Shann Hulena, North Shore

We get loads of compliments

“He did a beautiful vanity for our bathroom and we just love it. I just can’t speak highly enough of Joey. He drew up bespoke, one-off designs for our choosing and built and installed them precisely. We get loads of compliments about it. Also a huge timber-framed mirror for our bathroom. He’s an incredibly talented guy.”

— Sophie Waghorn, Mangawhai

Absolutely amazing skills

“Joey designed and made our solid walnut kitchen island and a drinks bar originally and ended up doing our entire kitchen and scullery, laundry and an internal barn door in the shou sugi ban or charred wood finish. Absolutely amazing skills. Very clever guy.”

— Tarryn Floyed, Kaukapakapa

Give him an idea, he’ll find a way

“We had Joey design and build our custom entertainment unit and kitchen joinery. We also had Joey design us a dining table from some kauri floor joists my wife and I had salvaged from the flat we first met in. It was being demolished so we thought it fitting to have a custom piece. Just give him an idea and he’ll find a way to make it happen.”

— Jeremy, Devonport

Great design options to choose from

“We came to Joey with a brief on what we wanted from our living room entertainment unit and bookshelf and he came up with some great design options for us to choose from. He’s good. Everything happens when he said it would and the installation is quick and efficient.”

— Sam Urlich, Mt Albert
