    Zack N - Thank you for the professionalism and taking pride in your work; it absolutely shows! Mahalo nui!!
    Darrell P.

    In all honesty, I don't work with many lumber/wood work businesses. In fact this is only my second time ever. The ironic thing is that the first time was for this exact same table while living in the SF Bay Area & attending the Academy of Art in the city. I needed a precise circle cut in it to fit an animation drawing disc. (i.e. - Traditional, hand drawn 2D animation) I bought an inexpensive, $99 dollar, particle board, student drafting table; came with a swing arm lamp & cheap @ss chair. The first company was awesome, they did a great job for something that I had no clue on how to even attempt. Fast forward to last week. I picked up a new 27" iMac which was going to be paired with a 32" monitor. I was going to need a bit more elbow room for my computer station & animation table to be able to sit side-by-side. I needed two cuts off the sides; 4" off the left and 6" trimmed on the right. I also took 3" off the front side so I could sit closer to the animation disc while drawing. I briefly thought about attempting the job myself but after I sobered up, I realized, "Who the hell was I kidding?" I did a search of lumber yards on yelp* & Capistrano Hardwoods was one of the first few to come up. I hesitated to call because what I needed was small in contrast to what these guys do on a regular basis. (When I say small; very, very, very small.) I thought it wouldn't hurt to call & see what happens... I'm glad I did! Zack N answered the phone; I explained to him what I needed. Zack said that it wouldn't be a problem, just bring the table on down. The only thing he added was to be sure that there wasn't any metal that would need cutting. I inquired about cost, Zack said between $5 and $10. One word, "Stoked!" Within a couple of hours, I pulled up to the front of the shop & walked inside. There's a nice show room @ the front that leads to the rest of the facility. I was greeted by a gentleman who had a quizzical expression on his face as he looked at the drawing table in my hand. I asked for Zack who came out of the front office; he looked at it & then we both walked to the back of the shop. Zack mentioned that there may be chipping on the edges which I knew was going to happen but I appreciated him mentioning it beforehand. Done in five easy steps: (I say easy because I wasn't doing it & a professional was.) Step 1. Measure; adjust table saw Step 2. Cut Step 3. Apply edging Step 4. Trim edging Step 5. Sand 'And done! Zack N - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/capistrano-hardwoods-san-juan-capistrano?select=RfYu5FEof4sNLEEjpRMJjw As I watched Zack work, I was completely impressed by his attitude and professionalism for such a small project in comparison to the "real jobs" he's accustomed to. I'd be the first to say, I am no home improvement, power tool, kinda guy but I give much respect to those that are. What took Zack 20 minutes to do would've been at least a half day project with me fumbling around & resulting in something that might be compared to a bird house from a high school shop class. I'm joking; my finished piece wouldn't have look that good. After trimming the table, Zack asked what I was planning to do with the exposed edges. I replied by asking him what he'd recommend. Zack said I could pick up adhesive edging and apply it. He then said, I don't think we have black @ the shop, only wood grain & white. - "Do you have a preference?" I replied, no; he chose white. Now, keep in mind; I just thought that he was going to cut the table to size, say thank you, collect my $$, and I was going to be on my way. However, when Zack took his time & diligently applied the edging, cleaned it up by trimming it, then sanded the edges; I was floored. You know that saying, "There's no job too big or too small," Capistrano Woods practices it! In today's business world where customer service & professionalism seem to take second string to fast & convenient, there are still companies doing it right. I just happened to be fortunate enough to find them. I was originally quoted between $5 - $10 for the project. I gave Zack a twenty, thanked him for an awesome job and returned home to put the table back together. As mentioned before, I would've wasted so much time and ended up with something that didn't look half as great as this does. Animation table - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/capistrano-hardwoods-san-juan-capistrano?select=ydgjK1yakUEGfVmA31zAlw The finished table worked out great! It gave me about another foot and room to accommodate the dual monitor set up on the adjacent work station. It's not a kitchen remodel but I'm grateful for the little things! A big mahalo to Zack N for his aloha & time! If I ever need help with a future project or if someone's looking for a referral; I know just the place in San Juan Capistrano. - Big Aloha! Food: n/a Ambiance: 4 Service: 5 Value: 5

    Lots of options and great help

    The store is good and the staff helpful, but don't use their referrals unless you are prepared to have no one turn up to do the job,
