  Very impressed with the variety, craftsmanship, quality and price from the items here. The owner has been in the Junction for over 12 years and knows what the people in the area want! They custom and tailor pieces based on the needs of the customer.

  Forgive the length ... but this story is worth retelling. I found this store on the internet. Was really impressed with the concept, the creativity and the actual pieces. I particularly liked two cabinets, called the store, spoke to Martin and told him what I was after, but they were already sold. We talked about him creating a similar piece for me, which he seemed open to. I then made the trek downtown the next day, with my measurements and specs as agreed, to get an estimate for the cabinets. I just have one word to describe this encounter. WEIRD. The entire exchange was unprofessional, off-putting and strange. I was down-right baffled. He proceeded to show me another piece. More than once I had to politely say that I wasn't interested, that I just needed an estimate for the cabinets we talked about. He hemmed and hawed, hesitated, answered text messages in the middle of our discussion and carried on conversations with his assistant. I just sat there. I felt like I was invisible. Seriously? I was looking around for a hidden "candid camera" crew. I then insisted that he go to his own website/blog, so that we could look at the the pieces I had called about. After I told him my measurements, he said they wouldn't work because he made these out of doors, and that the doors were typically taller than what I was after. OK. So then I came right out and asked, "how much did those cabinets cost?" He said, $1800. I asked (to clarify), "for both"? He disapprovingly replied, "No, just for one". Then I said I was a little surprised by the price and asked what was making it that costly -- considering this was built using reclaimed / used wood. He then explained that he had used these old ceiling tiles at the back of the cabinet. So then I asked for the cost without the tiles. He then said "Oh no, they are $200 extra, so the cabinets would actually be $2000 per unit with the tiles". At this point the soundtrack for the Twilight Zone TV series started playing in my head. I pushed back ... "but you just said $1800" .... no use. Then I asked what if i just bought the doors (which was the only place on the cabinet that really has the treatment I liked anyway). I could get the actual cabinet pieces made separately (of interest, he had other doors on sale in his show room). He scoffed at the idea saying he made whole furniture, not pieces. I said thank you and walked out ... in a daze, wondering what class of drug he was using. In short -- in addition to ignoring me and avoiding answering questions directly -- I felt he was just feeling me out to see how much I would pay. But Ieven if I liked his price, I probably would not have worked with him. My threshold for idiots is super low.
