There's not much more I can say here to sing praises for Josh and Arbor Exchange that other reviewers haven't already mentioned other than to enthusiastically agree! I wanted a large 8' custom dining room table worthy of the craftsmanship of my 1909 bungalow - Arbor Exchange surpassed my expectations and more. Josh was super easy to work with on helping finalize the wood choice, custom design and finish details. The custom table and matching bench are the gorgeous centerpieces of the dining room, and an heirloom piece of furniture I will take with me wherever I go. Josh's craftsmanship and pride in his work are something I feel lucky to have found - very highly recommended and I'll definitely be using him for future furniture pieces! read more

See all

If you are on the website gallery look at the kitchen island they custom made for our unit. It is even more beautiful in person and has held up very well considering the daily abuse. The guys are super nice, personable and they totally got my wife's vision. The transaction was super professional and comfortable. We are having a baby and I am trying to talk my wife in to a custom reclaimed set. read more

I cannot recommend these guys enough. I found them by chance whilst searching Craigslist for someone who would sell me raw reclaimed wood. I had an idea to make my own coffee table. That was foolhardy. Then I found Arbor Exchange's ad. I emailed inquiring about prices and our correspondance grew from there. They were very friendly and helpful as I showed them pictures of what I had in mind. In the end, they gave me the option of buying the wood or, for a reasonable price they'd build it themselves. Turnaround time was a month or so and the finished product exceeded all of my expectations. These guys know their stuff and they will help you make good decisions if you don't. I never felt pressured one way or the other, but Josh and Paul offered sound advice upon which to base decisions and actually swayed me from ordering a table I would have regretted later. It's really a win-win situation. You support to local craftsmen and you get a product that is EXACTLY what you want. You never have to go to a retail shop and buy the expensive piece that you love except for that one tiny detail. Looking forward to buying from Arbor Exchange again! read more

We asked the guys at Arbor Exchange to make a side table for us, in an unusual shape (oval). They worked with us on wood choice, design, leg selection. It was a smooth, easy process, and they turned the order around in a couple of weeks. The table looks fantastic. We will definitely be back again. Thanks, Arbor Exchange! read more

Arbor Exchange built us our dream farmhouse dining room table!!! I feel so lucky to share meals with family and friends at THIS table. (It is always the very first thing friends comment on when they enter our home) It is already our most treasured piece of furniture and I expect it will be in our family for generations. Josh does high quality work and you will not find furniture like this anywhere else! His attention to detail is impeccable. To be honest I wish I could renovate our entire home with his furniture. Support this small family business! read more

Arbor Exchange built two custom kitchen shelves/cabinets for our kitchen. I am very particular about how I want things done and had a look in mind and they were able to work with us on every detail and create two pieces that were perfect and exactly what we wanted. Its great to use reclaimed local wood and also support local businesses. Very nice work! we couldn't he happier! read more

My husband and I decided to have Josh make us a custom Elm desk...and we couldn't be happier with the final product. We found Arbor Exchange on Craigslist and decided to visit Josh at his home shop. He was extremely nice, professional, knowledgable, and responsive. We immediately felt good about working with him. He provided an estimate date and gave us a call right on time. The desk itself is a showstopper. He created a double live edge Elm desk that is exquisite. Everything is perfect - the slabs, the finish, the metal legs, etc. We're so happy with it!!! And the price was totally fair too. Josh is really kind guy too. He even gave us a baby gift for our newborn. I can't recommend him enough!! read more

I had long dreamed of a table for my entry hall to double as a buffet table; long (9 ft!) and narrow (23 in). Definitely not an "off the shelf item". We'd toyed with the idea of making our own of recycled wood. While searching the internet for wood sources I happened upon Arbor Exchange and called Josh. I visited his workshop and immediately knew he could produce the table I'd always imagined. The finished product is a work of art! Beautifully finished, reclaimed fir on a steel base. Working with Josh was a great experience. He had great suggestions, very professional, delivered on schedule and is a super nice guy! Martha J. read more

Josh created a wonderful showpiece for our dining room. The black walnut used to construct our dining table seems like something out of HGTV. Each piece of wood has its own unique design and character, and a beautiful finish provided the perfect touch so that the dining table can withstand the dirt, grime, and abuse from our little kids. Throughout the process, Josh was extremely easy to work with. He provided valuable advice when we weren't sure which type of wood to go with and even gave suggestions on how to maintain so it will last. We couldn't be happier with the final product! read more

Josh did a wonderful job on finishing a slab of wood I brought him for use as a console table. The slab provided to him looked plain and boring. After he was done with it, it came to life. He filled in crack lines with dark colored epoxy and made them look like part of the woods natural grain. Josh was so easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable and truly an artist in his field. I definitely recommend him to all who are interested in high quality furniture. read more

Consummate Professionals!! I have used Arbor Exchange for over a dozen projects; Each time they have exceeded my expectations (and I am very picky). Simply put this company is a very stand up and honorable company. Use them for your next project and you will not be disappointed. read more

These guys created 6 of the most fantastic tables for our children's ministry space. When people walk into the room their mouths literally drop! The comment is always that it feels more like a cafe because it's so funky and cool. Their work is fantastic! read more

Simply put --- these guys are as good as it gets. My wife is a designer and has impeccable taste, and Josh captured her vision to a "t" They built a custom 14' reclaimed live slab farm table for us, along with benches, and we could not have been more pleased. And we felt awesome in supporting local artisans. Service-wise, they could not be more humble, sincere and hard-working. Josh went above and beyond with the specs and correspondence to make sure he captured exactly what we wanted, and was gracious to give me suggestions with how to do woodworking myself. We will send all of our friends to Arbor Exchange. read more

Quality craftsmanship, exceptional customer service, and beautifully designed furniture. The guys at Arbor Exchange made me a coffee table with a bottom shelf for my living room. Admittedly, I'm not that picky of a guy, but I wanted something special for my place that was made to last. After seeing some of the pieces on their website, I knew I couldn't go wrong. One thing I've learned about optimizing the space in my small apartment is that proportional furniture is KEY, and these guys made sure that my table fit like a glove. I suggested angled edges for the table top and they executed exactly what I had in mind. The table is solid and looks fantastic. I know this table is something I will enjoy for generations! read more

Josh is a wonderful artisan with a warm personality. I hired him based off the reviews and photos on Yelp (which is NOT a perfect science). However, this time Yelp did not lie. We did not want to mount our TV and needed a unique corner piece that we simply could not find anywhere. Josh was responsive and understood what we wanted. He built and delivered a beautiful piece of furniture that we are extremely happy with. read more

Josh and Paul designed and built a communion table for our church. They were wonderful to work with, their prices were very reasonable and the table is beautiful. The church loves the table and it fits extremely well in our space. Highly recommend these guys. Their work is great, and the ability to support local craftsmen using reclaimed wood instead of particle board or dumping more garbage into our landfills all adds up to a great experience. read more

Arbor Exchange recently built a beautiful clothing rack for my pop-up shop. I couldn't be happier about the display! The wood that he used for the base is made of ancient reclaimed pine and its full of personality. Thank you immensely Arbor Exchange! read more

I found Arbor Exchange on Craigslist as I was looking for a table for my new kitchen remodel. I was so impressed with their beautiful pieces I gave them a call. After visiting their shop and seeing them in action I knew I found the right place for my table. I needed a specific size to fit my new bay window. They were able to accommodate my needs and were very patient with all of my questions about finishes. My beautiful table is something I will cherish and with so much more character than something I would have purchased at a furniture store. Josh and Paul were so helpful and I will absolutely use them again. read more

Not only did they build me a beautiful table from reclaimed wood, they were very helpful and accommodating as I constantly changed my mind about the design. The table is solid, beautiful, unique and was very reasonably priced. They also delivered my table on time, which in my experience is quite uncommon for custom built furniture. I love it when I can support a local small business that's eco conscious and provides exceptional customer service. You should too. Highly recommend Arbor Exchange. read more

These guys are the absolute best -- wonderful communication, incredibly friendly and very professional. Furniture is BEAUTIFUL -- lots of care and workmanship put into each piece -- they made us a large outdoor coffee table, built to our specifications, and then we liked that so much they made us some HUGE outdoor wooden cubbies/shelves for garden tools/toys/ect. Both are WONDERFUL! I couldn't recommend these guys any more. And prices were very reasonable. We had some other furniture made by a west-side store and spent easily three times as much with a turn around time of 4 months. Never again! We've joined the Arbor Exchange band wagon. :) read more

I met with these guys around 2 years ago, and they made me my dining table, coffee table and media console and I still absolutely love them all!! These guys are cool, nice and have a great eye for design and the prices are totally reasonable!!! read more

We are in love with Arbor Exchange and our new kitchen table! Josh was awesome to work with in creating our vision and the end product was perfect! It is a piece we will have forever. We would recommend them for any furniture needs! read more
