We love our custom entertainment center! It is a corner unit and it is a piece of art that our friends agree.
Dan took time to come to our condo to get a vision
of what we were looking for. He took the time to let us pick out the desired piece of monkey pod. He was a pleasure to work with and professional. Thanks Dan....ready to do our bath vanity ? The Knights

Danny and Kristina made us a sofa table and two end tables out of local monkeypod, and we absolutely love all three of the pieces. They were super easy to work with, pricing was very reasonable, and we've already received a ton of compliments on these one-of-a-kind pieces. We'll definitely work with them again and we'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for some beautiful, locally-made custom furniture. Great experience overall!

We ordered a custom monkeypod coffee table from Danny and it came out beautiful. When we have people over, they won't stop commenting about how amazing the table looks and they assume it cost 3x the actual cost. Danny was super friendly, down to earth, took the design elements I wanted and made it better, kept me up to date about progress and finished it when he said he would. Couldn't ask for better customer service and craftsmanship. The table will last a lifetime and is truly a one of a kind piece of furniture. If that's what you're looking for and at a reasonable price point, then see Rust

Rust and Root joined two slabs of monkey pod wood that we wanted to finish for a bathroom vanity top. They were very easy to work with and quick, despite being very busy opening their new show room. We are so appreciative of their quick and seamless join, and love our new bathroom vanity. Thanks again Rust & Root Furniture.
