Steve is very professional, everything was as promised, on time, and beautiful. I regret not having Steve fix my favorite antique cabinet when my husband accidentally knocked it over and broke it the first time. I unfortunately took the cabinet to some other place that totally ruined it. Thank god after Steve did such a great job on our dinner table, I just happen to mention the cabinet and my heartbreak about it being a total disaster, blotchy stain , doors were cut crooked, saw marks were visible , just a total mess. Steve my hero took the cabinet back to his shop , called me two days later wanting to deliver it . When he brought it to my house i literally started crying . It was beautiful , it looked just the way i remembered it when it was at my grandmothers house when i was a child. It was fixed perfectly. My grandmother would be so pleased if she were here to see his fine work . And the bonus was he charged me a little more then half price of what the man who originally was suppose to fix it but instead completely ruined it. Thank you Steve. I absolutely would reccomend Steve to anyone looking for quality and beautiful craftsmanship for a really great price. My family will only trust our furniture to willies woodcraft from now on.

Do not do business with this company ! Steve is a unprofessional person. He does not follow up and after a month he expected to still have the job and now because he wasn't given a $30,000 job because of his unprofessional behavior I have been receiving text messages still. It's no wonder why this company is going down the drain with Steve running it!

The only interaction I had with Willie was pleasant...he handed me some lacquer. The reason I needed the lacquer is why I'm leaving this review. Willie's son Steve was the one who did the work--3 custom built bookcases at $400 each. When I received them, I noticed the finish was slightly different on each one. Some parts of the bookcases were rougher than other parts, which had been sanded down well. When I asked about the inconsistency, I was told that it was because I'd only paid $400 for the bookcases. This was surprising to me, given that that was the price Steve quoted, a price I readily agreed to pay. I didn't realize that I had the option of paying more for a smoother-finished bookcase. Another issue is that the bookcases all have adjustable shelves, and while the clips plug into the holes well, the alignment's off on a number of the holes, resulting in some rickety shelves. I fixed that with Blu-tack underneath the shelves, but I don't like that I have to make those fixes. Yet another issue was that a nail had been left inside one of the holes for the clips, so Steve had to drill in a new hole beside it and fill the old hole with putty. The problem--aside from the fact that I didn't want another hole drilled--is that the putty never sets. So unless I wanted the putty to smear on everything that touched it, I needed to lacquer the surface. That was when Willie stepped in and handed me some lacquer. Willie seems like a nice guy, and I don't think Steve's a bad guy either. However, I was hoping for bookcases that didn't have all these issues, especially when I paid $1,200 for the set.

Had an old five drawer dresser that was given to me in ragged condition. Found this place online a couple of weeks ago and he offered me an amazing price to put it back together. The darn thing was heavy as heck. Did a wonderful job then my brother took it back!

Had a custom table built. We wanted it to be stained a specific color so ended up picking Douglas Fir because it took the color best. Picked up the table and once we got it home realized the legs were crooked. Steve came to our house to fix the legs a couple of weeks later. He said it would take 30 min - 1 hour to straighten them out. 1.5 hours later he wasn't finished. When I went to check things out as he was working on straightening the legs, i noticed the planks on the top of the table had pulled apart and there was a gap running down the length of the table. When i asked Steve what happened he said well there was probably moisture in the wood and that's what happens with cheap wood. I asked why he didn't warn us about something like this and he said "well you wanted a cheap table." We didn't want a cheap table. Our wood selection was solely based on the ultimate color we wanted. We didn't understand different woods and as we told him in the beginning we were looking to him as the expert for guidance. Our parting words were: Steve: "Was I supposed to warn you about the wood you selected?" Me: "An expert probably would have" Steve: "Then go ask an expert." I hate to leave a negative review. Especially because so many people seem to have had a great experience with Steve. But we have a $600 pile of trash in our garage now with a sour taste in our mouth. Seem like we should have known more about wood and construction to be able to instruct Steve on exactly what we wanted, including straight legs and no compromise in the the integrity of the table. But for someone who hasn't had custom furniture made, Steve is definitely not the right choice for guidance.

I'm so happy with my table! He replaced the damaged veneer with a new wood plank top. Professional, prompt, and made it just the way I asked. I highly recommend!!!

I have been working with Willie and Steve for many years and my only regret is that I did not write a review on these guys sooner! They are awesome, and although Willie is now retired, we are so happy that Steve has taken over the business and is still making quality furniture. Steve is a great craftsman who always puts his customers first. He is highly committed to his projects, works quickly to meet deadlines, offers advice and creativity along the way, and respects his clients budgets. We use Steve for all of our furniture needs now and rarely buy anything at furniture stores anymore. He has furnished our home with a kitchen table, sideboard/buffet, entertainment cabinet (8 ft long), custom benches, and most recently he hung barn doors for me in a space that was very challenging due to low profile ceilings. He engineered the entire project, and although we ran into some logistical issues along the way, he was relentless in finding solutions so that I would be happy. And I am! We love working with Steve and look forward to hiring him for our next project --- office furniture! No need to look any further, if you have a custom furniture need --- Steve is your guy.

My beautiful table was broken (teenagers). Thankfully I found Steve on yelp. He picked up my table, did a great job repairing the disaster and then brought it back to me. Amazing! Wish everything could be that easy. Fair price too. I will definitely call him for my next repair project.

I've used Willie in the past but he has now retired, his son Steve has taken over the business and the business has not missed a beat. Steve does great work and I'll use them again. Honest work and fair prices.

Steve Whyte is the man you need to talk to at Willie's Woodcrafts. He builds custom furniture and custom surf board, SUP, Kayak, and skateboard racks. All from his shop in Westminster, and all top quality!!! For me, I had the numbers on the side of my mom's house deteriorating and falling off. I know that seems like a small job, but it's an inconvenience for someone trying to find you and it was bugging the heck out of my aunt and mom. So, I went to Steve and he walked me through wood choice, primer and finish colors, router edges...every step that would be needed to make this piece look amazing. And it does look, absolutely beautiful. He really knows his ...wood. (Seriously, quiz him!) I would highly recommend Willie's Woodcraft's for all your Custom Wood Furniture needs.
