I ordered a custom made daybed for my daughter. I had really good communication with them from the bed selection to the design to the choice of wood used. The bed came out amazing and my daughter was extremely happy. I would recommend this company if you have custom furniture needs. They provide a really nice product. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Borboleta for custom furniture. I had a space for storage that was an usual size and Helena and her designer came up with a design to use every inch of the space. The design is classic; the construction solid and it looks great. I felt like I was being well-taken-care-of every step of the way; kept up-to-date on the progress with photo documentation. You will not be disappointed doing business with Borboleta. The are a trustworthy, high quality company. read more

I absolutely LOVE my new Murphy Bed from Borboleta Decors! It's so well constructed, Helena and Richard were so delightful and easy to work with, their designers took their time as we went back back-and-forth with my design ideas, and they executed my ideas and vision perfectly! I could not have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful piece of furniture, it's exactly what I was envisioning!! I'm already itching to place a new order for something else from them. And on top of it, they offered an amazing discount, making it more affordable, because we were so affected by the Eaton Canyon fires. They're such amazing souls, out there supporting, helping, and respecting our community. I highly recommend them!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! read more

From the first communication (text) till delivery, everything went very smoothly. The owners were very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions on ordering a custom fire pit cover. It turned out beautiful and we are very pleased. Cost was reasonable as our fire pit is 52" wide. The order was finished in about a week and Richard went the extra mile to deliver it right to us, for an extra minimal fee. If you're looking for some custom woodwork, I would recommend checking out Borboleta to see what they can do for you. read more

We found Helena's business through a local community Facebook group and my husband decided to reach out to her to get a quote for a few custom pieces. Their prices were competitive and great for solid wood furniture. Richard put together drawings of our furniture pieces with measurements and double checked with us before their carpenters got to work on it. Since our pieces were large and we needed a built-in look for the hallway cabinets, Richard drove out to us himself (since we were local enough to them) to remeasure everything to be sure the measurements were accurate. Sure enough, some measurements needed to be adjusted and thanks to Richard, our pieces fit perfectly when they were delivered. Before delivery, Helena allowed us time to go check out the pieces at the warehouse to ensure we were happy with how they looked. Her carpenter team patiently broke the pieces down and delivered them and installed them all for us. Helena always communicated with us and allowed us to choose our own paint and doorknobs (which we had delivered to her and her carpenter installed). The pieces speak for themselves. We got 2 custom linen cabinets and a Murphy bed (with sliding bookshelves at the front). The Murphy bed was inspired by one we found online (that wasn't solid wood). I would definitely recommend this small business for your furniture needs and appreciate Helena and Richard's professionalism/patience with us! read more

Absolutely beautiful! I had a small breakfast bar in this area but it became a drop off section and was always full of clutter. I decided to extend the kitchen cabinets with a coffee bar and broom closet. I went to the cabinet place that did my kitchen 7 years ago and I went to Ikea. Both places had prefabricated standard size cabinets. I needed something custom made. Helen and her team delivered beyond my expectations!!! Richard came out to measure everything. They both had great communication every step of the process. They matched the paint to a swatch I gave them. I asked them not to use their standard wooden knobs. My husband was going to add hardware matching our existing cabinet. The day of the installation the guys asked if we had the handles and they installed them for us at no extra cost! This is truly a custom piece made to my exact specifications. I'm so impressed by the quality and the cost was less than I expected. I highly recommend Borboleta Decors. Thank you!!!!! P.S. I still need to add my own counter top. read more

Borboleta Decors made an island for my kitchen. Helena and Ricardo were knowledgeable, professional, caring and very talented at making furniture.

I'm a repeat customer with Borboleta -- first they designed and built a large loft bed for my son's room, then a sewing table and now drawers for a small closet. I love that they give me custom furniture at reasonable prices -- in the case of the sewing table, I copied one from a known brand and saved over 2k, plus, my table is solid wood not pressboard. These people make real furniture. read more

Great product, wonderful design, built by craftsman and perfectly executed with attention to detail. With quick turnaround and competitive prices how can you not highly recommend their services! Thank you. read more

Borboleta Decors - Fire Pit table top. - Furniture Stores Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Richard is the absolute best! So kind and patient with all my questions and concerns. I've been researching the possibility of getting a coffee table cover over my fire pit so we can make use of our outdoor space year round. I knew this had to be a custom order since my fire pit did not have the average measurements. It was a 72" Diameter. After expressing my concerns and sending Richard pictures of the fire pit, he guided me every step of the way making sure I provided him with the proper measurements to build. I couldn't be happier with the results! Now my husband and I can entertain around the pit with a nice glass of wine and when it gets a little cold we can easily remove the table top to roast marshmallows! Thank you Barboleta Team read more

I'm never one to leave reviews unless the product and service is exemplary and let me just say I'm so happy I came across Helena and Borboleta decors! I was stressed about not having found the perfect bunk bed for my daughters (everything on the internet is made with that cheap pressed wood) and I needed something sturdy that would last as well as aesthetically pleasing. I searched and searched for months and I'm glad I was patient and waited until I came across Borboleta Decors! I told Helena what I needed of the bed (twin size with the option to add a trundle in the future ) and she quickly sent me a mock up photo and adjusted the captains ladder to save space and still allow us to add the trundle in the future . I explained to Helena that we were on a time crunch and she made sure it was done and ready by the date I needed it. Helena and her team made the process so smooth and stress free. The bed is beautiful! Beyond anything that could be purchased online and sturdy so I know my daughters will use it for years to come! If you're looking for custom furniture with excellent craftsmanship and customer service, Helena and Borboleta Decor is the way to go! Would give them 1,000 stars if I could . So grateful for Helena and her team ! Will update with photos soon when my daughter's room is completed. read more

Absolutely stunning dining table that we bought from them! It's even more beautiful in person and you can tell it was made with love and exceptional craftsmanship. If you appreciate the detail of hand crafted furniture, you'll love anything this company makes. I highly recommend! read more

Lovely monastery table, the craftsmen executed our design instructions for its construction beautifully and the stain is perfect. If you know exactly what you want they can do it. Too early to see how well it holds up but the pricing is very reasonable considering the laminate garbage they sell out there for astronomical costs. Nothing beats solid wood, I know I know it's heavy, but it's worth it for a forever home. Also their delivery guy Adam was outstanding. Kind, attentive, and his communication and follow-through were exceptional. read more

Thank you Helena and the entire Borboleta team for an amazing buying experience! This year for Christmas my brother and I decided to surprise our mom with the farmhouse table she's been talking about for years. We found Borboleta on Etsy and soon came into contact with Helena. She responded within minutes and was excited to work with us! We explained our vision and she and her team were able to create the most perfect table for us and at a fraction of the cost of what we were anticipating! In a few short days our one of a kind table was built and we were able to have it delivered in time for Christmas! Our mom's face lit up like a little kid on Christmas morning at the sight of her new table. Helena, we look forward to working with you again! We can't express our gratitude for making this vision a reality. Thank you for this memorable experience. Kaitlyn Vergara read more

Helen is a breeze to work with. She has an excellent craftsmen who custom built a fire pit cover for us.

We were looking for a wall unit with two build in desks. After shopping around and really not finding what we liked, I saw a beautiful wall unit with one desk on Etsy, so I reached out to inquire about custom work and Helena was the person we talked to via e-mail and text. We told her what we wanted and provided a sketch and measurements. Helena provided quotes for different wood types and we picked maple with a 'Spalted Maple' stain. We received in between picture and final pictures, before we picked it up. At no point from the first inquiry to picking it up was any stress. The wall units is build sturdy with solid, good wood. Helena and team made this a very easy and pleasant experience. The Wall Unit turned out so BEAUTIFUL and exactly as we wanted it. Thank you Helena and Team! I'd give more than 5 stars if it'd be possible! read more

I highly recommend Borboleta Decors (BD). I unsuccessfully searched a couple weeks for a functional table top for my fire pit. I came across BD on Etsy who custom made a table top exactly to the specs I provided. BD was responsive from the minute I reached out and kept me posted throughout the production and shipping process - communication could have not been better. I could not be happier with the quality, color, fit, etc. of the finished product. BD delivered on the promise and exceeded all my expectations! I look forward to doing more business with BD in the future given my favorable experience and quality of product. read more

I worked with Helena to get a firepit cover and we absolutely love it!

I can't say enough good things about Borboleta Decors! When preparing for our second child we needed to get bunk beds for a very small room with an odd configuration and window location. Helena and Richard and Borboleta worked with us to make the most perfect bunk beds to our specific measurements that fit in the room and look beautiful!! They were so kind and easy to work with - it felt like we were family! And they were very patient with working through all the measurements exactly to ensure everything would fit perfectly. On top of all that, their prices were fantastic. I always thought that custom-built furniture was beyond reach for our budget (we're just an average working family) but I was surprised at how affordable they were! We will be calling them again soon for a dining table!! read more

Helena and Richard made our coffee table, and we couldn't be happier. Helena responded to any inquiries we raised in a quick and clear way. They took the time to offer some direction towards making sure we ended up with just the table we were looking for - the type of wood, dimensions, the finish. We felt in good hands with them and the end result is a great piece of furniture that will last and that we'll enjoy for years to come. If you're reading this then congrats! You've found who you're looking for to make your furniture. We couldn't recommend them more. read more

I ordered and paid for four (4) items. #1 & 2 - Two (2) Queen Beds frames with drawers underneath. To hold a queen mattress #3 - Dining Table #4 - Two (2) 16 inch x 80 inch barn doors When I received the items, the two queen beds (#1&2) are unusable as there was no connecting hardware or pre-drilled holes and bolts to assemble the beds. They are unusable. I cannot connect the headboard or footboard to the siderails. There is no support for the drawer sections in the middle. There is no way to assemble them. Further, they were nothing like the description and they quality of the wood is atrocious. There are numerous dents and holes in the wood that are not "imperfections in the wood" and they were ordered painted and the paint was put on minutes before shipping, therefore coming off in transit. The dining table (#3) has numerous dents and missing paint that are not "wood imperfections" as it has to do with the quality of manufacture and paint job. The barn doors (#4) were missing and never received. This is in addition to paying $1000 for shipping, but there are missing items and I had to pay the shipper an additional $300 to delay his departure 12 hours because the vendor was never available for pick up even after making appointments to pick the items up. For three days the shipper went to pick the items up and each time no one answered the door. On the final day, after trying for three days, he arrived to find the employees painting the items. The vendor has lied throughout the process. I requested resolution with two options. Option #1 - The vendor hire someone to fix all the finish problems and fabricate hardware to make the beds usable, repair all the damages, re-paint all the items AND ship me my missing barn doors. Option #2 - Provide a full refund of all monies paid and shipping costs because items delivered are unusable. Vendor refuses to honor agreement for Two Beds, Two Barn Doors and Table and also refuses chose one of the two solutions. Now Borboleta Decors is indicating that their "policy" indicates once ordered, you can only get a 50% refund IF I send the items back. So, as that is written, they could have shipped me a box of broken 1/2 inch sticks and unless I return their box of sticks, they won't refund anything. They even tried to get me to order more furniture telling me there was a "special" so I should order more. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. Borboleta Decors Lied throughout everything after I ordered and paid for items. They won't accept responsibility for numerous lies, furniture that is COMPLETELY unusable, horrible finishes and now I would need to pay an additional $1000 in shipping to get 1.5k back.... They are a scam. BEWARE. I am going to sue in small claims court, but I just want to warn others, BEWARE.... read more

We ordered a full size loft bed for our 5 year old daughter and she loves it. Helena and Richard were extremely helpful and returned all my calls in less than 24 hours. They were able to customize the bed to suit our needs. We have an 8 foot ceiling and had to lower the dimensions of the playhouse so that the top of the bed would not be too close to the ceiling. We were also able to customize were the staircase went and what color we wanted the playhouse. I would definitely recommend this place. read more
