Are you looking to have custom furniture made, well keep looking as this isn't the place for it. So I had ordered a custom made desk and paid exactly 8,376.80 and informed it would be a 1-2 month build period which was completely understandable but it was delivered 4 months later. It was supposed to be a large L shaped desk with a 2 inch thick slab for the top and a corner shelf on top and bottom for electronics or what ever I want to put on it. So after about 3 months of waiting (and helping him fix both his fork lifts, a back hoe, and other things as a discount towards future items...but he did pay me for my services a couple months later) my desk shows up with his employees. And let me tell you, while the top slab looks good...not great...but good, the top shelf didn't sit flat and rocked back and forth there are some huge ugly lag bolts visible on the sides of the 2 inch thick slab legs. The under side supports block half of one of the slots I wanted for my monitor stands and the general value of the desk is worth no where near the 8k+ that I paid. (No worries though I got a free wooden paddle with this purchase so that must make up for it) Upon watching his employees assembly it at my house, I'm also not confident I will be able to move it in the future and reassemble it without having to get new hardware to secure the legs and all with as the holes they go into probably won't survive another round of the massive lag bolts being reused due to power tools during installation. I was planning to get an entire house set, like dining room table, bed room set, coffee table, media center and end tables, but now I think my money will be better spent on Ikea furniture where I at least already understand what to expect when I get it home.

Love my Shark table from Kini at WoodWorking Hawai’i. We’ve had it a couple years now and I couldn’t be happier with it. This table is the perfect blend of function and art and will always remind me of my time living here. Check out his warehouse in Waimanalo too see more of his gorgeous tables!

Kini gave me a great deal on my dining table and I love it, definatly would recommend the monkeypod tables! My expectations were exceeded when he offered a free coffee table and delivery crew who were super professional. Always good to support local businesses.Service: Table construction & installation

Awesome shop in Kailua. The owner Kini worked with me to create a custom surfboard coffee table for my living room. Great shop, great customer service, and the end product came out amazing.

I just received my dining room table from Kini at Woodworking Hawaii. Very pleased!! We were looking for a more local look for this table and found some very cool pieces at Kini’s studio. Kini helped us pick out a piece of wood and he turned it into a piece of art/table. He promised it by the end of January and it was delivered today (1/12). Very happy with the process and with the table!Services: Table construction & installation

WoodWorking Hawaii is awesome! High quality craftsmanship, super accommodating for custom designs, great customer service. Orders might take a bit longer than other shops but that's because they're a true family business. His guys deliver with care and assemble everything the way you want it in your house. Long term customer service means that if something happens to your table or chairs ten years down the road Kini will make it right. You don't get that with big manufacturers... Great small local business to support!

Kini and his team made two custom pieces for my business. I gave him a general idea of what I wanted, dimensions and he delivered two custom pieces that were more beautiful than I could have imagined. I will definitely contract him again when I need more custom pieces!Service: Custom furniture

Kini was very helpful making some custom pieces for a job that I was doing. The client was so pleased she had him do repairs to a few of her favorite older pieces of furniture and he refinished 2 other pieces, also. Very happy with the quality of the work. Really easy to work with.Services: Wood staining

Kini is a big sales man, but provides little quality control. We ordered a custom table, it was delivered and set up by two of his workmen, after they left we noticed that the table seemed shorter than a standard dining room table. When we measured it we found that it was 2-3 inches shorter than a standard dining room table and lopsided. When we informed Kini he said he would replace the base. Several weeks later we received a new base. After the new base was installed the table still remains lopsided with one side being 31 inches and the other side being 30 inches.Do not order custom furniture from Kini or Woodworking Hawaii.

Kini is a nice owner and treat his clients as friends. We received his wood mirror in our shop. It’s amazing frame made by hand. Kini made our heart so warm every time we look at mirror. From Lulu
