I ordered a huge custom dresser with 10 drawers, 48" high and 70" wide. It was delivered today, and I love it. I had the bottom drawer made extra deep, and now my husband and I can put all our foldable clothes in this dresser. Other "large" dressers were always too small for two people's clothes. In this one, my husband and I have all our clothes sorted by item and season! Summer stuff and winter stuff are actually separated! No stuff sitting on top because the dresser's too small! We got the alder veneer in cherry, and it really is a beautiful piece. There are metal slides for the drawers, and they are soft close. Also, the delivery man and his son could not have been nicer. I would have paid thousands more for a dresser this size from Restoration Hardware. This was a great purchase all around, and Helena was very nice and responsive from start to finish. I highly recommend this seller. read more

I contacted Helena from Borboleta to make me a custom dog crate/tv stand. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and what I got was exactly what I envisioned! The communication was fantastic. This was my first but definitely not my last time working with Borboleta! read more

I installed a breakfast nook in my kitchen and NOBODY was offering a table that would fit it just right. I showed Helena the style I wanted and they drew up plans for me to approve. The price was reasonable and the table worked perfectly. Very heavy, so the kids aren't knocking it over any time soon. I'm working with her now on a table for the living room. read more

Borboleta Decors did an amazing job on my custom bedframe and nightstands! I couldn't find a storage bed that suited my needs so I drew a quick sketch and they did the rest! They are super responsive, very nice, and the furniture is absolutely beautiful! Throughout the process they were extremely kind and patient, answering all of my questions and double checking information with me. Their delivery service is top notch too. They took their time with the delivery and assembly and didn't make any messes or damage any of the new or old furniture in the room. I would highly recommend working with them for all of your custom furniture needs. read more

I guess in this case I do love it , working with Helena is a pleasure she is such a nice lady she really takes her time and it's about product and also all about communication. I just set up my bead and looks great . I have to say l'm really happy with Quality and product . Thanks you again . read more

I wish I could give Helena a good review as she was very nice to deal with and helpful throughout the process. Unfortunately the dining table that she built us was not to our satisfaction and for some reason she never returned my wife's phone call to discuss. Of the two pieces she built, the buffet exceeded our expectation, but the dining table(the focal point of the room) was a) too shiny compared to the examples we reviewed and worse, the extension leaves don't stay in place. During a recent dinner our friend put his elbow on the table at which point the extension flew off and hit him in the face. Next time I will order from Restoration or similar and pay the premium for a quality product. read more

Borboleta Decors helped me to design and build a beautiful television stand. The quality of the work is phenomenal: it's built with a high-quality hard wood and is stained perfectly. They installed glass front doors and it looks beautiful. Helena is an absolute professional: she is responsive, creative, and incredibly helpful. I would recommend Borboleta to anyone who is looking for well-made and beautiful furniture. I'm already putting together new orders for them! Thanks, Helena! read more

We just received a lovely custom made wood cover to put a table top over a fire pit in our new home -- that way it is baby-proofed and also functional! Helena and Richard took all of my specifications and made it to order so it matches our backyard beautifully. Also I'm very happy to support a California-based business and am really pleased with the final product. My one point of feedback for the future is to request a sketch beforehand (because I was so curious to see how it was looking) but ultimately everything worked out and it looks exactly what I hoped for! Thank you and really happy to work with you! P.S, they also helped coordinate very affordable shipping up to Northern California, an extra plus! read more

We just finished a remodel of our master bedroom and wanted a pair of desks, but didn't want to spend a fortune. Helena worked with us to create just the right design and was able to hold the desks until construction was done --- but delivered as soon as we were ready. The desks look great; we're so happy with the finished product! read more

I was looking for a wood top for my Yukon Solo Stove fire pit. I came across Borboleta and had them build me a custom (size and color) top out of cedar. They were very responsive answering all of my questions throughout the process. They were very clear with the shipping costs which I appreciated. The top turned out great, and I've received many compliments on it. A must have for any solo stove owner!!! read more

Helena was easy to work with via email with very quick response times, the prices were reasonable and the finished product looks great. When the specs on the final product were a little off, they fixed them and returned the product to our specification. Thank you Helena! read more

I love my table so much!! Helena was a joy to work with. She was quick to respond throughout the whole process and makes quality furniture! read more

Just bought a beautiful wooden table top for our fire pit table. Craftsmanship was great! We love it!! Working with the owners was so easy. They gave extra effort to make sure the color was exactly what we wanted. Would recommend Borboleta Decors to anyone! Absolutely great business! read more

I recently had two pieces of built-in furniture made for my home. Helena was such a pleasure and so easy to work with. Excellent prices and the quality was top notch. Very happy customer, created my custom pieces exactly how I imagined them. Will definitely use them again. read more

Working with Borboleta was a great process. I have to admit, I was probably a tough-ish customer in that I asked for a custom made desk and to have it made rush, as I was moving out of the city. The desk is beautiful (everyone comments on how amazing and truly one of a kind it is!) and Helena worked with me during the delivery process to ensure it arrived on time, safe, and in good condition. I highly recommend. read more

We had a great experience. Helena helped us pick bedroom furniture that would fit well in my son's "big boy" room. We have received so many compliments and the quality is definitely there. He loves his trundle bed and dresser, and we are so pleased with the way it looks. Helena and Richard take a lot of pride in what they do and really want their customers to be happy. read more

Borboleta Decors and I collaborated to realize a few custom furniture pieces for my interior design company's clients. Helena, the owner, is very nice, professional and amicable. I appreciated her being promptly responsive to each and every question. Building custom furniture tailored to a client's space takes a lot of effort from both the designer and the fabricator, and Helena made the process smooth, quick and simple. Furniture was delivered within the desired timeframe and budget, and looks really great in the rooms. read more

Helena is amazing. She'd made a lot of pieces for us over the years, and the quality and craftsmanship have always been top-notch. The latest she did for us in an amazing white and pink lofted bed for our toddler that resembles a house, with a staircase leading up to the bed. It was her idea to have drawers in each of the steps of the staircase, which is great for additional storage. The piece is beautiful and sturdy and was build to the exact specifications we needed for the room. Her guys delivered the piece and assembled it in the room, quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend Borboleta for anyone who wants stylish, high-quality custom furniture at a reasonable price! read more

Borboleta Decors - Here's the custom bed Helena made for our daughter. We love it! There's a staircase on the left, with drawers in the steps. - Furniture Stores Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I've used them twice for a tv stand and an entryway bench and both times they have done a remarkable job. On top of fine craftsmanship you get great prices. I plan to use them again soon. read more

Met with Helena and Richard for the build and design of a mid-century wall unit. Unit was delivered on agreed upon date and came out better than imagined .. Highly recommend for all your carpentry needs. read more

We love the piece Borboleta Decors made for our living room. We get asked about it all the time. I can't wait to have them make something else for our home. read more

Quick and very professional. Got a nice dark wooden table and bench seats made and it looks fantastic. I would def use her again.

There are plenty of good furniture makers in the LA area. What sets Helena and Richard apart is how well they listened to what we wanted from our design, and how responsive they were to our requests. They were very flexible, service-oriented, and always got back to us in a short time. Our living room entertainment center not only looks like a million bucks (without costing anywhere near), it also fits all of our specifications in a custom way. read more

Bought a top for our fire pit long distance. Communication was above par. The piece is exactly what we were looking for and I appreciate the double checking on measurements. Excellent service and unique product! read more

I just purchased a queen size bed, and I am so impressed with the quality of my bed frame and looks. Helena and Richard were so professional and pleasant. I will definitely make more purchases from them in the future. read more

Excellent quality of work. We ordered an outdoor Tiki bar and Richard and Helena personally visited our house, took measurements, gave us ideas, and delivered a great result on time at a really good price. They also came back, no questions asked, to add a few more bits and pieces we wanted. Highly recommended. read more

After seeing a beautiful bed and dresser set Borboleta Decors did for a friend, we hired them to design and build a cabinet to accommodate a very high end stereo system, with multiple components and a large record collection. Helena and Richard of Borboleta Decors delivered superb customer service, with incredible attention to detail, to ensure our piece would be exactly what we wanted. They planned everything meticulously based on our needs, answered all our questions patiently, gave us great design advice as far as the best type of wood and stains, and in the end, exceeded our expectations with their craftsmanship. The cabinet they created is gorgeous, and even though it measures about 16 feet in length, it makes our room look larger. We are absolutely delighted with the final product, and recommend them without any reservation. read more

They were great to work with! Excellent communication and prompt service! Willing to customize to fit my request.

I ordered a custom farm table and matching bench through Helena and Borboleta Decors/Etsy in May 2019. Most of our communication in the design stage was positive and quick. They worked with me when I changed the style slightly and they were pleasant to work with. I felt good about the transaction and was hopeful about the end product. The production time frame dragged on for awhile, but I knew these were custom made products, so I remained patient. I was not comfortable paying for the items in full until I saw photos of the table and bench. Helena became quite rude with me towards the end of the process saying that everyone pays the full amount and asking for photos of the products was not what they usually do. I did not think my request was unreasonable given the fact that the total costs were over $2K and I'd never worked with Helena before. I wasn't sure if it was a scam. So, finally I got some pictures of the items - and they looked good - and I paid the full balance. At around the same time, Helena told me she had a personal emergency and she had to immediately go out of the country. She left town and sent me an email with the names and quotes from three California shippers to ship these items to me in Virginia. I was stunned that I was now responsible for coordinating this large shipment myself from across the country!? And don't forget that I still had to pay for this shipment - to the tune of over $900! I thankfully chose a shipper there who was great to work with and very helpful - but Helena didn't even give me a contact name/cell number of anyone in California to coordinate picking up my items at the shop to be shipped. She gave me a shop number that no one answered and a full voicemail account. She was mostly uncommunicative while she was out of the country, but she did manage to send a few sentences here and there - but never sent the contact info I asked her for over and over! It was nuts. We got it worked out and picked up somehow, but the shipper had clearly never shipped items like these before. When they arrived, the wrapping and straps had damaged the table, made scratches on it and the overall finish of both items were not done/stained properly nor professionally. It was clearly just slapped on. I will say that was happy that the items finally arrived and the table and bench are sturdy. I had to sand and re-stain the table and bench - at my expense - but at least now they look ok. It's a good thing I was going for a "distressed" look. Helena was good at first but then it was like she ghosted me. I would never order from her again. read more

Great company -- one of those rare finds in a business like furniture where the owners take pride in their craftsmanship and care about their product. We have had several pieces built by them and they are always concerned when they are working on one item as to how are the other items are holding up. They are our "go to" source for any future furniture needs for our family. We have gotten to where we simply don't need to go anywhere else because we know their quality is the best, and at a fair price. read more

I recommend Helena 1000%. Since I had never used her company before I wanted to get "my feet wet" by first ordering an Eastern King size bed, with a very specific type of wood and design. The results were phenomenal, so much so, I ended up ordering the matching dresser and night stand. Just for reference...I am a very picky person and will definitely use Borboleta Decors in the future. Thumbs up!!! Sabrina (in Sherman Oaks, CA) read more

I am very glad to have found Borboleta Decors. Helena is easy to work with. I had my eye on a Room and Board Andover dining table, but I wanted it to be a specific size and I wanted it to an extension table. Not just any extension, but the type where you pull the leaves out from each end (as opposed to pulling the table apart in the middle. I didn't want a big line down the middle of the table top.) And guess what? She did it! For cheaper than the Room and Board non-extension table. read more

I can not say enough about Borboleta Decors. The owners Helena and Richard are wonderful. They are extremely attentive and knowledgeable. I have had them make two pieces of furniture for me, a coffee table and a media table. They came by my house, measured the space, made suggestions on color and style and really did everything they could to make me feel confident in my purchases. I was very impressed with the furniture they delivered. It is top quality and looks fantastic in my living room. I am planning to order a few more pieces with them soon. read more

I would recommend Borboleta to everyone. I had searched high and low at every furniture store possible, including Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Pier 1, World Market, etc. and saw versions of what I wanted but not the exact color, wood, size. Helena actually met me at one of the stores to see what I wanted to merge, and was able to custom build my farmhouse table and bench to my desires, as well as looking at a piece of furniture from a popular catalog store and make what I wanted to my specs. And the cost was less than what I would have paid anywhere else. read more

Excellent quality on a gorgeous trundle bed. I highly recommend their work. They even delivered and installed the unit. Thanks, Helena!

Thank You Borboleta....after months of searching for bunk beds that not only were the style we wanted but that actually fit our required dimensions we found our savior..Borboleta. They were able to match the style , customize the size, plus build it out of solid wood to last all the years two rambunctious boys could possibly deliver. All this for roughly 30% less then the sale price of the retailer. read more

I have had Borboleta Decors provide me with custom furniture often, and I have never been disappointed. From their quality to their customer service, it doesn't get much better than them. Helena always has the best ideas, too! read more
