Report
We hired Vorrath Woordworks to build some custom wood framing for two sets of twin LED medicine cabinet mirrors in two bathrooms as part of our remodeling project. Adam was very friendly, responsive, professional, and in general just a pleasure to work with. We were very happy with the final product. The craftsmanship was top-notch, and the fitment and finish were perfect. They even did a great job color-matching the bathroom vanities. Would definitely recommend without hesitation to anyone looking to get some custom wood furniture or cabinetry built.
