“I've received 3 pieces from Ray and they were all wonderfully designed and had very high build quality. He is very easy to work with frome initial conversations to final execution of the product. He created a dining room table, coffee table, and backboard for a basketball hoop. I was impressed with the finished look and style of each hand-crafted item. Anyone looking for a custom woodworking piece for their home should have Ray design it!”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Ray Brents Design on custom woodworking pieces, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Ray was extremely responsive throughout the design process, always open to feedback and making sure to understand exactly what I was looking for. The end result was a beautiful desk, dining room table and end table that exceeded my expectations. Not only do they look amazing, but the quality of craftsmanship is outstanding. I highly recommend Ray Brents Design for anyone looking for a dedicated and talented craftsman.”

“I purchased a dog food and water bowl stand from Ray, and I LOVE it!! It’s held up to my dog’s paws and slobber for years, and I love the stain color. Ray is quick to respond to messages and shipping was fast. I highly recommend Ray Brents Design!”

“I have purchased multiple pieces from Ray. He is very easy to work with and you know you are always going to get a high quality product! He was able to make me a bar/shelving unit that holds alcohol, wine glasses and other decor and a piece for my dads golf items. Whenever I have a piece I need, Ray is my first option! Couldn’t say enough great things!”
