I'm so glad I found this artist. He made us a bed for our new home, we were just married. In fact, he is showcasing it on his website. It is the one with the radius or curved top and beautiful inset panels. I was so pleased with the appearance of the bed. Big wow factor when giving new friends a tour of our home. Now after something like five years, I can say it is sturdy! Beautiful, durable, exactly what we ordered.
He worked with us to get it just right in drawings before he started. I highly recommend Texas Mesquite in Bertram. Me and the hubby are slowing replacing the handme downs from our parents with things we really want. I'm about to get in touch again to order some bedside tables to match. Anyway, I'm glad this company is still around. I was really thrilled with their work.
