Absolutely the best! We discovered Bare Woods and met Mario when we were looking for outdoor furniture. After seeing his incredible craftsmanship, we commissioned Mario to build two walls of custom closets for our home. The result is spectacular! They found creative ways to fit everything we wanted into our space, they paid attention to every detail in building, installation and finish. We look forward to working with Mario and his team on future projects.

We spent months searching in stores and online for a media center to hold my husband's extensive audio/visual components and my games, etc. No pre-made furniture met our needs. We went to Bare Woods in Ledgewood, NJ to check out unfinished furniture - again no luck with the pre-made units. Owner Mario Thomas worked with us to design a media center to our exact specifications. Mario and his highly skilled craftsmen built a beautiful hardwood cabinet - the finshing details and superb quality rate with the highest quality furniture you can buy. We met with his expert craftsmen to select the perfect gray wash finish and hardware to match our beach house decor. We highly recommend Mario and his team at Bare Woods!

Talented and capable carpenter. Composite Adirondack chairs are the best around. Mario is extremely accommodating to work with.

I stopped by Bare Woods the other day, I was looking for some furniture for my sons bedroom, as I walked in I noticed a ton of different furniture to be honest it was very cramp and not really organized by sections. As I was looking I saw that some furniture had “Made in Vietnam” stamps on the back of it, so for a business that claims it’s custom but it’s made in Vietnam isn’t very promising. So the “owner” buys it for $80 then sells it for $385. A lot of the furniture was overpriced. When I talked to the owner he claimed everything that was there he made custom which frankly isn’t true since there a big “Made In Vietnam” stamped in blue on the back of it.

Mario and his team at Bare Woods are absolutely incredible! They aren’t just carpenters, they are artists! Talented, professional, fairly priced, and a pleasure to work with, these guys can do anything!Before finding Bare Woods, we tried for weeks to find a stain for our new vanity to match a sample cabinet from a kitchen and bath showroom. We took it to five different places and everyone said it was a custom manufacturing process that couldn’t be replicated. Then, we were referred to Mario at Bare Woods. He and John reverse engineered exactly how to do the multi-step finishing process and they matched our vanity exactly to the sample!

My wife bought me a new 65” inch TV for Christmas, only to realize we did not have a piece of furniture to put it on.After visiting Mario at his store, we were able to find a piece and discussed how to modify it for our house.They stained it in a shade similar to the color in the room.Solid wood, reasonable price. Definitely recommend.

Purchased a 4' cedar log swing for $477 which included delivery and setup. When the swing arrived a month later the legs were about a foot too long, the holes at the top were drilled very sloppy and on an incorrect angle, and the seat was not attached at the correct angle making it uncomfortable to sit on. Mario re-drilled one of the holes so that it was straighter and shortened the legs but quite honestly the entire assembly was very sloppy, especially for what we paid. I would not recommend this item or this business.

Run don't walk to this business for your custom or standard wood furniture needs. Impeccable workmanship, professional service; on time and at a competitive price. You get what you pay for and we are beyond pleased with our custom master bath double sink vanity and linen closet. Mario is an excellent designer, listens as well as suggests. We have bought other in store pieces as well, a storage bench for a mud room and an apartment sized table and chairs for my daughter. He even refinished an oak entry door. Mario is responsive and a true gem and has a team cut if the same fabric.

This is the third piece of custom made furniture we have purchased, along with some bar and counter-height stools. The other 2 pieces were custom-made storage beds. His work is great and he stands behind it. He will fix it until you are satisfied. I am about to go back for a fourth piece of custom furniture. Highly recommend.

I’ve purchased multiple pieces of furniture from this place, the first few times there was no problems at all. So recently as in last November, I ordered a cabinet and two chairs.It took 6 months, 6 months! To get these 3 pieces of furniture, Finally I got them. The color and size wasn’t even right. So I asked if he could take them back and fix it to what we had written down, he wanted to charge me because “It takes time offf his hands to fix it” but if he didn’t mess up then it would be fine.I later discovered a stamp on the back saying “Made in Vietnam” there was also a sticker on the bottom of one of the shelves with a instruction guide.He didn’t even make this piece, I googled the furniture and it was the same everything, size and everything. I paided for a custom piece and got a pre made one. Also, Multiple times I’ve came in his shop and he’s not there, I don’t know if he does any of the work, but I never see him around.

I had trouble finding what I wanted at furniture stores. Mario designed a table for me based on my ideas and after coming out to look at our home. The final product is perfect. Solidly built and one of a kind. The price and delivery time was no different than I was give. at the chain stores and this is solid wood.
