Schmitt Custom Furniture

The first project I asked Peter to complete was to create a shelving unit necessary to complete a set of shelving and entertainment units as they were reconfigured for purposes of reinstallation at another location (due to a move). The units are of natural cherry and had of course reddened with age and light. Peter matched the style and aged the cherry color perfectly through exposure to light such that in less than a month he provided and installed a unit that perfectly matched the roughly 18 year old surrounding units. I then gave Peter a second project--building and installing a black walnut wall unit, including murphy bed, wardrobe, lateral shelving and artglass- covered upper cabinets for storage. Again the workmanship was first class and completion was within projected timing. The grain of the wood is fantastic and Peter used and highlighted it to perfection. Costs indicated in this review are for both projects.

Peter is tenacious. You give him a concept/sketch/sample photos and he finds ways to enhance your idea to best fit your needs. His international schooling, dedication to excellence and remarkable portfolio showcase his talents. For us, he built two very different tables, one casual breakfast nook table and another unique dining room table. Both are very well constructed and demonstrate his ability to transcend one style.

Pete did a beautiful job on our custom walnut table top! It exceeded our expectations! I plan to use Pete in the future for other jobs.

Peter Schmitt is a true craftsman. My husband and I have hired him to do several projects for us and, although the projects have varied widely in scope and even materials, Peter's abillity to accurately and beautifully render an idea that we are contemplating speaks to his creativity and skill. Although he trained in Europe and is able to make furniture like the old masters, he has created stunning contemporary pieces as well. He is pleasant to work with and very timely. His furniture is absolutely beautiful and functional. We love his work!

Peter did an excellent job. He came to my house, spent a considerable amount of time in the space and asking me about my needs, and how I would use the furniture. I had some preliminary sketches, but he greatly improved upon them. I now have a beautiful, distinct, heirloom table! He kept me updated during the building process, and I had the pleasure of seeing his workshop. I will certainly hire him again when my furniture needs require. Excellent workmanship and customer service.
