Testimonials

"From the quick and courteous communication, to the careful measuring, the cooperative design, and the excellent professional installation: Fabien Gilbert simply does superb work. He imagined and built our custom bookcases just as I had imagined them. In fact, better, sturdier and more elegant. Everything about them is high-quality."

FAQ

I offer fully customized furniture and woodworking projects. I work closely with clients to bring their vision to life, from initial design concepts to selecting the right wood and finishing touches.

Lead times vary depending on the complexity and size of the project. Typically, custom pieces take 6-8 weeks from the initial consultation to completion. For larger or more intricate projects, timelines may extend.

I use a variety of finishes, including oil, lacquer, and wax, depending on the desired look and durability. I’m happy to discuss finish options to ensure your piece has the perfect finish to match its use and environment.
