A large part of the pleasure of making unique, bespoke furniture for individual clients is the sense of satisfaction when a client is truly happy with their new piece of furniture. Here are a selection of testimonials from happy customers:
“It has been a pleasure to meet Matt Belfrage, to visit him at his workshop, and to work with him on commissions for our house here in Somerset and in France. We found him very good at listening to our ideas and needs and then interpreting them in a very skilled and clever way. He uses locally sourced wood if possible and it is lovely to know that the kitchen we now have in France was made from an ash tree that used to stand a few miles from our home in Somerset. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for really skilled and beautifully crafted work with wood.” Kate and Francis Herrtage
“We’ve had our beautiful oak dining table for three years. Matt brought round some samples of wood to show us how the colours might work, and after we had chosen a lovely warm oak, Matt showed us where the tree had grown so we could understand the provenance of the timber. Although I’d seen Matt’s work before, and had very much admired it, I was unprepared for how beautiful the table is, and also surprised that it commands such a presence. I come into the kitchen in the morning and feel as if the table is alive, like it’s a person. I now think of it as a family heirloom and love it every day.”
Dr Ashley Morgan, Cardiff
“Just a note to say how pleased the both of us are with all our handmade bespoke furniture. It looks superb in our dining area and we have received many plaudits on your workmanship from friends. The rocking chair is rocking, looks really good and very comfortable for a shorter person. Once again many thanks.”
Maurice & Suzanne Sutton, Wiltshire
