Alexander helped us execute a custom-designed floating desk and entertainment center. I did extensive research and Alexander was the only one with the skillset to help within our budget. He is booked months out on larger residential and commercial projects, so if he fits you in consider yourself lucky. Master craftsmen like Alexander are busy for a reason, and the vast majority do not take on small side projects. Take a quick glance at his work on his website and you'll see what I mean.  I loved working with Alexander. He is professional and has a lifetime of experience. This was particularly important for our project in an old building, with warped, uneven walls that were difficult to drill into. Many people told us it would not be possible to do this project, but Alexander had the skillset to make it happen. He was able to adapt on the fly and work very quickly while maintaining the quality and look we were hoping for. He is a wizard, and even took apart one of our cabinets and redesigned it upside down on the fly so it would open properly under the heavy oak desktop. I was able to watch and learn alongside him. It's like watching an artist at work. As a bonus, he has great stories about old townhouses in Brooklyn if you like architecture and history.   I highly recommend this local business. It's been several months since we completed the project. We've added a dual-screen computer plus books and other heavy objects to the desk and it is solid. The cabinets are working perfectly. I can't thank Alexander enough! read more

The problem was resolved and it seemed like they used a faulty product to connect the strip which is of course no fault of theirs. I wish the communication would have been better though. read more

We had Studio 19 Woodworks design and build us a desk and shelves to put into our closet to create a "cloffice". Alexander went the extra mile and was very nice to work with. We are very pleased with the experience and the price. Would absolute use them again. read more

I requested a quote on Yelp and received a response from one of the owners (Anne). I asked for a time to talk about the details of my project and scheduling a simple call with Anne was very difficult as she repeatedly told me how busy they were. I gave specific times of availability and when I called during an agreed upon block I still couldn't reach them. Anne later returned my call and apologized saying they were having issues with the phone company. Despite that, I had a great conversation with her, I described my project and she seemed to be just as excited to help with it. She mentioned several times on the call that they were backed up from other jobs but she would be able to get me a quote that week (fri 11/1) I initially requested the quote on 10/27. Friday came and went no quote, the weekend passed, and Monday too! I reached back out Tuesday and told Anne I hate to be a pain, but I needed the quote so I know how to proceed. She apologized, again mentioning being backed up and promised to send by end of day. Finally at the very end of the work day I received a quote that was way above the budget I had given them, it also didn't factor in mass production of the items I wanted made. I made it abundantly clear to Anne on our initial call I intended to have dozens of the items made. In her email with this extremely high quote she said they couldn't give me better pricing without a thorough conversation. That's the exact same statement she made after I initially requested a quote, which is why we scheduled a call and I gave her all the details she needed. Response time is lacking, they don't seem to have the bandwidth for large jobs, and pricing model is weird. They just make up numbers instead of working by an hourly rate. This place is probably hit or miss, or maybe this was a one off, either way they need better process. read more

For Thanksgiving I asked Alexander to make an extension for my dining table, to sit on top of a card table. He made exactly what I needed for a very reasonable price. It only took a couple of days and fit perfectly. Highly recommended! read more

Great, well designed work! Alexander built a beautiful set of floating shelves for us. They look great and are clearly well made. It was wonderful working with this company. read more

I called Studio 19 Woodworks to inquire about building a table for my son, who had limited space for his NYC apartment. He needed the table rather quickly and Anne made sure his table was timely crafted. She also offered suggestions for the type of wood, (Maple,) and correct dimensions in designing a minimalistic type table, which seems to be trending now. A few weeks later the table was ready and they sent a picture for us to approve the design. A small tweak was made in the design. Both Anne and the owner Alexander were extremely accommodating and wanted to make sure my son was happy. The table, as pictured exceeded expectations. This quality is superb, solid and not seen in regular retail stores. My son will have this versatile classic table for many years to come. It just brightens up his whole apartment and he even says the finish has a wonderful sheen. Thank you Anne and Alexander for your expertise, responsiveness, amazing craftsmanship and just being a pleasure to work with. read more

I asked for a very simple job and Alexander came through. I planned ahead and accommodated to his availability, since a job like this would have been rejected by any other carpenter. He is very close to where we live in the Bay Ridge area. Her assistant Anne was very helpful. Thank you Alejandro!! read more

I wouldn't recommend working with this company. Very challenging to communicate with, lack of follow through, unreliable and difficult to work with. read more

I wish I had not hired Studio 19 Woodworks to create shelves for me. Both Alexander and Anne were unpleasant to work with. When the shelves I ordered did not meet the specifications (isn't that what custom-made is all about?), Alexander referred to it as a "perceived depth discrepancy". Very condescending when clearly he was at fault. On top of that, the staining of the shelves was heavy-handed and they were installed in such a way that there were visible (contrasting) screws everywhere. I would describe Anne as haughty - not an asset to the business at all. When Alexander finally agreed to address the problem, I felt so strongly about not wanting to deal with them, that I just told them not to bother. Try your luck with another carpenter. Caveat emptor! read more

Alexander and studio 19 woodworks did an amazing job building and installing custom bookshelves in our apartment. Alexander understood exactly what I was looking for and they turned out better than I expected. The price (including installation) was very reasonable (cheaper than most other quotes). Alexander came over and measured in person and kept me posted on his progress. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely go back for other custom furniture needs! read more

Alexander and Anne are incredible and we had a wonderful experience consulting them for a custom made library we wanted to have built. They were super quick to reply and easy to reach and when Alexander came over to look at the place he was incredibly helpful in understanding exactly what we wanted and showed us many photos of other similar works they did so that we could visualize it. The estimate they gave us was by far the most reasonable price we got for this job and Alexander quickly sent us photos of the materials that he would use. We ended up deciding to wait a bit more before going for this project but we know we found the right people to help us when we settle in our new place and are ready to invest in this library. Call them and talk to them without a doubt - I'm confident you won't be disappointed! read more

I had an idea for a custom kitchen table and Alexander executed it perfectly. He was very responsive to any of my questions, concerns and ideas. This level of interaction is rare in these days of online shopping. Throughout the process Alexander sent me pictures of the progress on the table. I even visited the workshop to see it firsthand. I won't hesitate to hire him again when the next idea pops into my head. If you are looking to find someone with a honest and transparent work ethic Alexander is you man! read more

I worked with Studio 19 for a very unique built-in that had to look like a part of an antique original. Alexander and his team did an amazing job. They worked quickly and adeptly. They were courteous, affordable, and responsive. But beyond all that--the work was beautiful. Alexander is a true master--an artist craftsman--leagues beyond anyone I have ever worked with before in this area. I plan on using him again on all future work and renovations. He is currently doing bookshelves for me which are turning out every bit as good as I'd hoped. read more

I purchased a custom bed from Studio 19, and I love it! Alejandro at Studio 19 was extremely responsive and attentive from the start. I started out the process by talking about the basics of what I needed and my price range. This was my first time investing in a piece of custom furniture. I shared a few images of examples that I liked, and he discussed options for the type of wood and price range. Then he sketched what the bed frame would look like. Next I went to the studio to see the bed in process. After making a few tweaks to the design, I received the bed with an in-home delivery a week later. The whole process took around 4-5 weeks, if I recall correctly. I love the end result and it was quite affordable relative to the price of other premium or designer furniture suppliers. Thanks, Alejandro! read more

Alexander did an incredible job turning our dream dining room bench & table nook inspiration into a reality. He was very involved in the process and took great care in coming to personally measure and ensure that the product matched our vision. Alexander really cares about the client and the goals of the project. He's willing to take his time to get it right and refine as needed. Alexander is a really pleasant and professional craftsman who also took into account our budget constraints and was able to deliver a product we absolutely love. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a custom built, high-quality piece. Great work! read more

I am a Reiki Master and practice out of my apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I have two Reiki (massage) tables and had been storing them leaning against a wall when not in use. For several years I had been looking for someone to build a cabinet to store one of the folded tables that matched the cabinets in my kitchen/dining area. I had another unused space in my kitchen behind some drawers and an under-the-counter clothes dryer. Several people came to look at the job and never came back! Not Alexander. He is a problem-solver and expert cabinet maker. He perfectly matched the existing pantry cabinets for the first table--even found the granite to match my countertops and perfectly fit it to the top. Then he figured out an ingenious solution for the second hidden cabinet. He created a trolly that the table sits on that fits perfectly in a formerly unused space behind the dryer. The end of the trolly is the door. I was SO happy with his work! Then I had him take on another difficult problem. He found a mechanism that will lift my bed on hydraulic hinges to access the space underneath. He built the bed out of recycled old wood. It's gorgeous and so practical. I know I can count on him for expert furniture building and carpentry and to problem-solve any situation. I highly recommend his work! read more

If you can imagine it, Alex can build it! His craftsmanship is superb and making the customer happy and proud of the work is of utmost importance to him. Alex created a wall of bedroom built-ins for me. There were many complicating factors. I live in a brownstone apartment. The floor is sloped, and the walls are not plumb. Alex measured again and again to make sure he had the precise differentials so he could make it fit properly. In addition, the piece was too big to be brought into the apartment. He built the piece in his studio, disassembled it and then rebuilt it in my apartment. I love the piece for its form and functionality, and get tons of compliments. Alex is a true Artisan!!! read more
