Barry and John did an absolutely wonderful job. We couldn't be happier with our bookshelves. They were timely, professional and wonderful to work with. We highly recommend them.
Water Street Furniture Studio is a designer's dream come true---a brilliantly executed job, with attention to those details that truly "say" where the magic is. This assignment, designed by Annick Porter, Interior Design, was not straightforward. (Is there ever such a thing?) The unit had to be fabricated off site and meticulously assembled in a complicated space. I will use Water Street forever.
My name is Annick Porter - www.alpstudio33.com. I have known and worked with Water Street Furniture for many years. I have consistently selected them on any project I was free to hire cabinet and furniture makers. Their craftsmanship is meticulous and their finishing superb. They are wonderful people to work and deal with, ans that is true of their relationships with clien's and any professionals in the field of design and construction. They review all drawings with the utmost care, this means that we have a collaboration which has always proved to be the best result for the client. They are absolutely honest and trustworthy, they meet deadlines and budgets without fail. Pictures of the 2010 bamboo and slate bathroom are shown on my website. Good design is wonderful, what brings it to life is superb craftsmanship, and that relationship between designer and craftsman is magic.
