The Rusty Wood Company is a carpentry shop that builds custom furniture and woodwork, much of it from reclaimed and barn wood. On Google it holds 5 stars from 28 ratings. A recent customer describes a large custom built-in cabinet: Jade looked at the space, stopped by with wood and stain samples and provided drawings, and on installation day Jade and Casey helped move the old piece of furniture out of the way and cleaned up after themselves. A 2024 reviewer named the owner as Jade Michaels. In a 2025 review, a customer said Jade helped a dining room table design evolve over time, ending in a barn wood table with a way to store the leaves under it. A 2024 customer described a five-foot round high-top table with a sawmill-cut top, a barn timber post and a giant valve wheel as the base. A 2025 customer wrote that Jade wrapped an unfinished post and an existing faux beam with a new, more rustic faux beam, and that the job was completed the same day she came back with the material. The work reaches past furniture. A 2025 customer said Jade finished their basement and told them at the end of each day what was happening next. In a 2024 review, a customer whose fence was rotting said they hired Jade to replace it. A 2024 customer said Jade installed a custom reclaimed wood mantel above their fireplace with a matching cap on the stonework. In a 2025 review, a customer said Jade charged no extra delivery or set-up fee for a custom table top, picking up the pedestal base at the start and returning with the finished table. A 2024 reviewer advised checking for store hours in the wintertime. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0672180, as active, held by The Rusty Wood Company LLC.
We had the best experience working with Jade and Casey!!! From the beginning Jade was very accommodating with looking at our space, stopping by with wood/stain samples and providing us with drawings for a large custom built in cabinet. She was very easy to work with. A few tweaks to the design occurred throughout the process (on our end) and Jade just rolled with it! Jade also offered up her expert opinion when I wasn’t sure about certain aspects of the project. It was nice to work with someone with so much experience.I’ve never had such a large piece of custom furniture built and wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. We are absolutely thrilled with the final product!! It truly fits into our home and makes the space come alive. It’s as if this particular space in our home was always meant for this piece of furniture The material is very high-quality and the finish work was exceptional. On installation day Jade and Casey helped us move the old piece of furniture out of the way. They were very diligent about cleaning up after themselves and taking care of our home. I highly recommend the Rusty Wood Company for any custom furniture need you may have!
They did a great job. Easy to work with.
Working with Jade at the Rusty Wood Company on a custom kitchen table was fantastic! Not only is her work beautiful, but the process from design to execution was seamless. Communication around details was clear, professional and easy. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jade, and would highly recommend The Rusty Wood Company to anyone looking for unique, well built, beautiful custom wood furniture!
If we could give Jade 10 stars we would! We commissioned a very complex piece that required intricate woodworking and she pulled it off superbly! We were given opportunities to see samples of the wood, stain, and finish along the way. She kept us apprised of the progress with photographs and emails. We provided her with a photograph from a magazine, and she replicated it to a T. And on top of it all she is a lovely person.
We asked Jade to build a dining room table for us. We didn't have a design in mind but she helped us patiently over time to let one evolve. She was available every step of the way, configuring and reconfiguring until it was just right. Which it is! We now have a beautiful barn wood table with a creative solution to store the leaves under the table.
